The Lake District is known for its undulating hills, lakes and hiking. The Langdale valley, where you’ll find British boutique hotel Brimstone, is known for its hiking and pet-friendly pubs. Most boutique hotels in the Lake District have a traditional or classic feel, Brimstone Hotel, however, is decidedly modern. The contemporary slate building with it’s large glass windows and spacious balconies is hidden away in a forested estate. Inside the ultra-modern theme continues with all of the comforts you’d expect from a luxury boutique hotel; soft carpets, massive rooms with huge beds, roll-top baths and many with working fires. Butlers or ‘hosts’ as they’re called at Brimstone will take all the hard work out of your stay, including lighting your fire. Forgotten your walking boots or wet weather gear? No problem, they’ll sort it. They’ll even drive you to a local restaurant at no additional cost.

If you’re only here for a few days though you might prefer to eat at Stove Restaurant, next door at The Langdale, sister boutique hotel on the estate. Feeling a bit peckish? There’s a 24-hour snacks and drinks sitting room, all part of your stay. Breakfast is particularly good at Brimstone Hotel and tastes even better in bed or on your balcony.
