After dinner, head to your own private casino, where you can challenge friends at a number of games, including poker, roulette and blackjack, or relive the arcade era with classic machines, foosball, air hockey and a car simulator. You can also capture the fun in the full-size retro photo booth, or relax with a drink in one of the multiple lounging and dining spaces designed for social feasts and late-night memories.

On summer days, step outside into your private garden where you can enjoy a morning coffee with a view or dine alfresco on the big outdoor table. Out here, you’ll find you have two full-size hot tubs for opulent soaks, whilst a barrel sauna is perfect for unwinding after a mountain hike. Outdoor fun also includes a snooker table, ping pong and more, making every moment here a mix of relaxation and playful indulgence. You also have a pizza oven and BBQ, should you wish to cook up a feast whilst breathing in that fresh Lake District air.
