Armathwaite Hall


Armathwaite Hall is a luxury hotel and spa adjacent to Bassenthwaite Lake, in Cumbria.

History

The present hall dates back to circa 1500; it was acquired by the Highmore family in 1540, by James Spedding in 1748 and then by Sir Frederick Fletcher-Vane in 1796. Ownership then passed to John Boustead in 1850. It then passed to Thomas Hartley in 1880, to the Wivell family in 1926 and to the Graves family in 1976. It is now a hotel.
