Moresby Hall

Moresby Hall is one of Cumbria’s most historic luxury homes. A Grade I listed building (circa 1620) offering stunning Country Guesthouse accommodation and retaining so many original features.

This spacious Hall has been described as “one of the most important buildings in Cumbria” by English Heritage and “totally unique and welcoming” by so many guests.

Jane and David Saxon welcome guests travelling for business or tourism. The emphasis is on relaxation, superb quality and genuine hospitality at their family home. Jane is a talented (self-taught) creative cook. The menu changes daily and there is a wide repetoire of interesting and delicious food served with care and imagination.

As former Company Directors, with their commercial background they have travelled extensively and included many innovative touches for their visitor's benefit. Moresby Hall is an oasis for guests who may not wish to stay in a large, impersonal or modern Hotel.

Moresby Hall enjoys a semi-rural location with delightful walled gardens for our guests to enjoy. It is situated only 2 miles from Whitehaven, a Georgian market and harbour town with its picturesque marina. Moresby Hall is the perfect venue to explore the Western Lake District.

There is ample private parking and Moresby Hall is open all year. All the seasons are a joy in Cumbria with the ever changing landscape.

Smoking is not permitted inside Moresby Hall or the Cottages. We have an undercover seated area for guests who wish to smoke outside. Smoking is also permitted within our garden areas.

Fully licensed with a selection of reasonably priced beers, wines and spirits available.
