We had a fantastic time at Thurnham Hall for a short half term break as a family of 4 (kids aged 3 and 9). Firstly we were really pleased with the price for 3 nights and were even more pleasantly surprised when we arrived with the accommodation. Considering we booked the cheapest/most basic option available it was a wonderfully spacious little stone cottage complete with conservatory that overlooked the park. The kids absolutely loved it. The Hall itself is a wonderful historic building and the restaurant inside was great, we had a fantastic Sunday lunch there and takeaway pizza on another evening. The pool was the winning feature for us, given that the weather was hit and miss the kids were in the pool everyday at least once it really was a saving grace, no extra charge, incredibly quiet, warm and with lovely staff. Communication was great overall, with the ability to text reception at any point with any questions an added bonus. All staff and other residents were incredibly friendly. Overall we can’t wait to make this a regular annual visit during half terms where we explore more of the grounds / Lake District generally.
