On the main square of the busy market town of Appleby, the
Tufton Arms
Hotel started life in the 17th century as a coaching inn. Owned and run for
many years by the Milsom family, it provides a charming, relaxing destination
for an enjoyable break in the heart of the beautiful Eden Valley. Guests are
welcomed with a smile at reception, which sets the tone for the whole stay. The
staff have a genuine desire that their guests will have a stay that's more than
just pleasant, but a time to remember. It's quite likely that visitors will
quickly meet one of the owners, who speak not of guests but of `friends who
come to stay'.
Good food
is a byword here, and the award-winning team of chefs seek out the best and
freshest local produce, which they prepare with skill and flair to create
delicious dishes with a modern twist. Dinner is served in the elegant
Conservatory Restaurant overlooking the cobbled mews courtyard, and diners
should allow time to peruse menus that are filled with good things. Fine food
deserves fine wine, and at the Tufton Arms an expertly chosen list that runs to
200 wines provides the perfect marriage for any dish. The standards of the
hospitality and the cuisine are matched by the accommodation, which caters
admirably for a wide cross-section of guests, from holidaymakers and
shooting/fishing parties to business and corporate individuals and groups.
Each of the
22 bedrooms has its own charm and character, and the furnishings include the
occasional antique piece that belonged to the Milsom farmhouse. All the rooms
have en suite facilities and all the amenities expected by today's guests; the
hotel is also totally geared up to banquets and conferences, and the three
purpose-designed suites combine the period elegance of the rest of the hotel
with up-to-date business requirements. Fly fishing and shooting can be arranged
by the hotel, which has access to some of the best stretches of the River Eden
and has its own driven and rough pheasant shoot.
Appleby,
the old county town of Westmorland, is a delightful place that's well worth
taking time to explore. The surrounding area, too, is rich in historic and
scenic glory, with a number of important country houses and castles, and the
beauty of the tranquil Eden Valley.
