Two generations of the Varley family have created a special
atmosphere of warmth, elegance and comfort in this lovely old Georgian country
house.
Aynsome Manor was built in 1735 in the historic Vale of
Cartmel, overlooking the magnificent 12th century Cartmel Priory.
Once the distinguished residence of the descendants of
William Marshall, the Earl of Pembroke, Aynsome still echoes with the character
and traditions of that bygone era.
The panelled Georgian dining room remains a popular venue
with those wishing to enjoy traditional country house cuisine with locally
sourced meat, game and fish of the highest quality. Head Chef Gordon Topp
maintains the Manor’s Red Rosette status with a small and dedicated team in a
relaxed, but professional atmosphere.
Aynsome Manor represents an ideal centre from which to
explore the richness of the English Lakes or the hidden delights of the nearby
coastline with its fascinating estuaries and inlets.
Aynsome Cottage lies a few short paces across the flagged
courtyard and was converted from a 16th Century stone built stable. It has one
double and one twin room, each with their own private facilities. There is also
a comfortably furnished lounge.
