Signature Stays
Exceptional homes. Unforgettable places.
A curated collection of extraordinary places to stay in the Lake District.
The collection
Stay somewhere extraordinary.
Signature Stays personally selects remarkable Lake District houses, cottages, retreats and estates — places with architecture, interiors, history, position or simply a feeling that sets them apart.
We visit every home, we know the people who look after them, and we turn down far more than we take on. We believe where you stay should be as memorable as where you go.

Find your kind of escape
However you travel, and whoever you travel with, there is a corner of the collection made for it.
By enquiry only
The Private Collection
Some exceptional places aren't publicly listed.
Our Private Collection gives Signature Stays guests access to a discreet selection of remarkable Lake District homes available only by enquiry — houses whose owners prefer their address, and their guests, to be known to us alone.
The Signature Experience
More than somewhere to stay.
Tell us what you'd love the weekend to feel like and we will build it around you — from the chef in the kitchen to the boat on the water.
Signature Concierge
Your Lake District. Your way.
Local knowledge and personal service sit at the heart of Signature Stays. We live here. We know which table is worth the drive, which valley is quiet in August and which guide to call when the weather turns.
From finding a table at an exceptional restaurant to arranging a private chef, boat, guide or unforgettable celebration, our team can build a stay entirely around you.
Destinations
Discover the Lakes
Ten valleys, villages and shorelines — each with its own character, and its own reasons to choose it.

Guests
Stay beautifully.
“We have taken houses in the Lakes for fifteen years and never had one that felt like this. The jetty at six in the morning is something I will think about for a long time.”
“Twelve of us, four generations, one weekend, and nobody wanted to leave. The team found us a chef on a Thursday for a Saturday. Quietly extraordinary.”
“It rained for three days and it did not matter in the slightest. That tells you everything about the house.”
“We booked two nights and immediately regretted not booking five. No television, no signal, no interest in leaving.”
