The Leathes Head Hotel Information
Description
Welcome to The Leathes Head, a luxury eleven bedroomed Edwardian Country House Hotel, situated in the unspoilt Borrowdale Valley and past winner of Cumbria Tourism Small Hotel of the Year. The hotel is set amongst three acres of private grounds and is surrounded by stunning scenery, meandering rivers and some of the most spectacular fells in North West England. With superb views across the valley and easy access to Keswick, this is the perfect place for a relaxing break. The entire Borrowdale Valley is ringed by glorious fells known and loved by seasoned walkers. Lake cruises, water sports, mountain biking trails and plenty of other Lake District activities are all within easy reach of the hotel.
An Historic Cumbrian Hotel with Edwardian Elegance THE LEATHES HEAD IS A BEAUTIFUL EDWARDIAN PERIOD COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL BUILT IN 1909 IN THE HEART OF THE BORROWDALE VALLEY. Built as a home for Edith Hellon, the daughter of a Liverpool ship-owner, the house was constructed of locally sourced slate. Its setting, amid glorious landscaped grounds on a lovely grassy knoll, ensured its spectacular views. Edith never married, and in 1938 she gave some of the surrounding land to the National Trust before selling the house. She died in 1940 in Egremont, Cheshire and is buried in the Hellon family tomb in St. Hilary's, Wallasey. Since then the house has been extended and established as a hotel. It retains the character of the Edwardian Residence, with carefully restored original features apparent from the moment you enter. To this day there are still unique parts of the house that haven’t changed over the years. Our beautiful tiled entrance hall floor was hidden under carpet for the past 50 years, and for a floor that is over 100 years old it is in amazing condition.
