Nestled amid acres of private woodland and glorious gardens, this magnificent Grade II listed castle is situated on the northern edge of the Lake District, surrounded by a golf club. Dalston Hall provides the finest luxury coupled with discreet, yet friendly service. An ideal place to stay with individually designed and lavishly furnished rooms, each providing contemporary facilities. Dalston Hall is an excellent choice for weddings and celebrations on a grand scale, or rather more intimate gatherings, business meetings and conferences with full facilities available.
Full of character in its appearance, Dalston Hall hides a fascinating history. The surrounding area was once occupied by the Romans and then the Danes. Later the warrior Scots frequently invaded the area, leading to the construction of fortified structures known as Pele Towers. Built around 1500, Dalston Hall’s Pele Tower initially stood alone. Various additions and extensions and were made in subsequent years. In 1897, extensive refurbishment of the interior took place, together with the construction of the entrance side of the building. This created “a magnificent mansion surpassing perhaps even its ancient glories”, to quote a leading antiquarian of the day.
