Whether celebrating in style or simply spending quality time together, historic Morland House is the perfect place for a memorable holiday, providing comfortable accommodation for large groups of family and friends. As soon as you enter the oak panelled front hall you will be swept back into a former age. The rambling manor house is set in four acres of Victorian walled gardens with views to the Pennines.
The rural village of Morland lies in the heart of the beautiful Eden Valley adjacent to the Lake District. The Grade 2 listed house dates to Tudor times but much of its character derives from it being the family home of the Markham family since 1828. Over the last two centuries the house has been extended and filled with a fascinating variety of paintings, books, antiques and curios which make a stay here truly special.
Recent modern touches include the all essential home comforts of excellent WiFi, central heating, modern bathrooms - and new beds! The large south-facing double-ended sitting room and the dining room both seat 18 and have open fires and oak panelling hung with family portraits.

Services
On top of that, we can provide up to two cots, you are welcome to bring more, and if you love the house but still can't seem to squeeze your whole party in, there's a double sofa bed in the Snug which might solve your problem.
There are six bathrooms and shower rooms: three are exclusively en-suite, two bedrooms share a bathroom, and the final three bedrooms share a bathroom and a shower room between them.
Reflecting the incremental development of the house itself, each has its own character.
The bedrooms are named after prominent members of the Markham family and contain pictures, possessions and information about each.

Morland House is set in four acres of Victorian landscaped walled gardens laid out around Morland Beck which flows through the middle of the grounds from an impressive waterfall (or "Force") at the top end via stepping stones, a wooden bridge, two more waterfalls, and the newly commissioned Orchard bridge.
It has many hidden corners and features, like the "stone zoo", and is fun for young and old.
On the house side is a grassy Beck Walk under natural cliffs which stretch all along the length of the garden.

When considering a stay at a house like Morland, there are often many questions.
We do our best to answer them here but if we haven't covered yours, do contact us via the methods given on the booking page.
More information is also provided on booking.
Morland House is old, with an eccentric character.
The ground and first floors have several levels, with a few steps between, and many rooms and passages have rugs rather than fitted carpets.
Sadly, it is therefore not suitable for wheelchairs.
The garden is also on several levels, which adds greatly to its interest but steps and paths can be slippery and uneven.

The gardens are walled, so dogs can run safely - if they mind the flower beds!
The private garden, reserved for guests only, is fenced so making a secure smaller area attached to the house.
After fully exploring the gardens, you can take your dog further afield - lakeside walks (and swims!) at Ullswater are only 20 minutes' drive away, as are more challenging fell walks around the Lake District.

However you may prefer to have some or all of your meals cooked for you, and we can recommend private cooks who can prepare and serve meals from the caterer's kitchen without needing to use the family kitchen.
