We offer two very different venues and locations in Bowness-on-Windermere, both with dramatic views to the lake and a deep sense of history and connection to the landscape. The spaces are ideal for factual and entertainment TV programmes, lifestyle and commercial product shoots and wedding photography.  

Film and photoshoot teams will find a friendly and accommodating team at our sites. We can provide catering, green room and parking on site.

A massive thank you to everyone who helped to make our party on Saturday such a fantastic day. We had the best time! Thank you for putting the arrangements in place for us, to the reception staff for their lovely welcome and to the catering manager and staff for the delicious food. The day was everything I had hoped it would be and more – couldn’t have been nicer.
