The Regency Restaurant serves modern British cuisine. The conservatory and terrace offer a more relaxed setting for informal lunches and dinners. The hotel has 22 acres of grounds and offers croquet on the lawn and private fishing on the river. Indoors, there is a drawing room, library and sitting room with log fires in the winter. Leeming House features a private helipad. Penrith is 7.5 miles away and Aira Force, the waterfall Wordsworth wrote about, is 3 miles away.
