Lancrigg Vegetarian Country House Hotel enjoys a setting of timeless tranquillity in 30
cares of gardens and woodland overlooking peaceful Easedale. Starting life in the 17th century as
a modest farmhouse, it was later renovated and enlarged with the considerable encouragement
of William Wordsworth. The Lake Poets used regularly to meet here, and Charles Dickens and
Wilkie Collins stayed here on their trips to southern Scotland. It
was opened in 1985, by Robert and Janet Whittington, as
an elegant and civilised hotel, serving only vegetarian
wholefood home cooking.
The 12 individually designed guest bedrooms are in the main house and
a nearby cottage; all have private bathrooms (some with whirlpool
baths), television, telephone and beverage tray. The
evening meals, served in a gracious chandelier-lit room that commands
fine views across the valley, use the best and freshest
natural ingredients, often organic and always free of artificial
additives, and the interesting menus have delighted many a
non-vegetarian. The bread, cakes and croissants are made from organic
stone-ground flour by a local baker in a wood-fired brick oven.
