“Speaking of romance is there anything more romantic than Armathwaite Hall with its lovely habit of drawing Bassenthwaite in a sheet of silver or orange to its door? With the trees to guard it, and the history that inhabits it, and the lake that stretches before it, it is a house of perfect and irresistible charm.” Sir Hugh Walpole Armathwaite Hall Country House Hotel and Spa on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake www.armathwaite-hall.com Image thanks to Julie Yarwood
