Johnby Hall – The Studio
Johnby, Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0UU, England
Period Cottage by a Lake District Pele Tower
The Studio has been beautifully converted from an ancient cottage, built under the protection of Johnby Hall’s Pele Tower. Accommodation is on two levels, with an open-plan bedroom above a a sitting room, with a separate kitchen and shower room. The bedroom has a king-sized bed as well as a separate single bed, and there is a sofa bed in the sitting room, and a toddler bed or cot can be easily added.
The studio offers stately and very private accommodation for a couple or a family and dogs are welcome – and free of charge. For an added touch of pampering breakfast can be offered, at a modest cost, in the main B&B’s Great Hall. It is a unique place to stay in a quiet part of the Lake District.
Through the day there’s plenty to see and do without ever leaving the property. The garden’s history goes back centuries, with a walled orchard and woodland walk, a tranquil location and views over the Pennines. Look out for interesting birds and even the occasional red squirrel.
Best of all, everyone is welcome: children and pets love the range of garden toys and woods in which to roam.
Johnby Hall suggests

Location
Johnby Hall is on the edge of the hamlet of Johnby, a mile of the larger village of Greystoke. If using a satnav the postcode is misleading: set your route for Greystoke (CA11 0TP), follow the sign for Johnby from the village green, take the left fork (again signed Johynby) and then - after a mile - Johnby Hall is on the left with white gates. It's six miles from the M6: take exit 40. The Boot & Shoe in Greystoke (1 mile) is a good friendly pub for supper, or treat yourself to a Michelin-starred meal at the Dog & Gun in Skelton (3 miles), who's menu features Johnby Hall's own rare-breed pork.
Johnby Hall is a stone's throw from the Lake District National Park. Ulswater is 8 miles away and Keswick-on-Derwentwater 14. The market town of Penrith is six miles away, and in less than 4 miles you'll find the historic houses and gardens of Hutton-in-the-Forest with Dalemain only a couple of miles further. Brougham Castle is 6 miles away, the craft shops of Caldbeck are 9, and Hadrian's Wall, Morecambe Bay, the Solway Coast and the North Pennines are all within easy reach. Or you can always park the car and choose instead to enrol on a craft course: the Quirky Worshop in nearby Greystoke run a range of idiosyncratic courses.
Electric car charging points are available in Penrith (six miles) and at Rheged Visitor Centre (three miles).
Reviews
"This is the place to stay if you want atmosphere, quiet and delicious, home-produced breakfasts -- the main house has been in the family for hundreds of years and you can feel it when you have breakfast in the huge sitting room dominated by portraits of ancestors and an immense fireplace - the accommodation is spacious - with a big bedroom and a sitting room - with a smaller bathroom - v nice cakes are provided on arrival If you are looking for hotel luxury, this is not the place - but if you want space, history and calm in the midst of a gorgeous part of the country, this is a dream"
