Our accommodation
The Room @ Rawsons
a beautifully decorated studio-style holiday property with a luxurious twist positioned on the gable-end of a 17th-century Farmhouse.
The Room @Rawsons is a beautifully decorated studio-style holiday property with a luxurious twist positioned on the gable-end of a 17th-century Farmhouse. The Farmhouse is nestled at the foot of Whitbarrow Scar, flanked by natural woodland and part of the Lake District National Park and Whitbarrow National Nature Reserve. A fantastic base to explore the many walking & cycling trails straight from the doorstep. Visit the countless attractions and top-class restaurants in the North & South Lakes.
We have given great thought when creating this fabulously comfortable accommodation to ensure that guests have the opportunity to relax and unwind in natural surroundings. We provide all guests with a welcome hamper with a selection of breakfast items, snacks, fresh bread, fruit, yoghurts and more.
The Room @Rawsons sleeps two, but the farm also has The Hut @Rawsons, a gorgeous glamping lodge that also sleeps two. These can be booked and coordinated.

The main accommodation space is sumptuously decorated and offers a large king-size double bed with a textured headboard and superb Siberian goose-down duvet and pillows.

Bathroom... We love the bathroom! Through the oak double doors, you'll be in awe of the fabulous mix of rich textures and colours, lavish fixtures and fittings and stunning ornate tiles to create a sense of opulence. The centre eyepiece of the bathroom is the large ceramic bath with Victorian-style taps and handset, a large separate walk-in shower and a Victorian-style rain shower with a separate handset, loo, and basin. Luxurious Sulkin Natural shampoo, body lotion and conditioner are provided, as are fluffy white towels and bathrobes.
-
The galley entrance has coat hanging space, a gorgeous little alcove with a handcrafted wooden countertop, a Nespresso Krups coffee machine, Kitchen Aid kettle, a toaster, a fridge, cutlery, crockery & glasses. Perfect for preparing a light snack or continental breakfast. For hot or more substantial meals, visit one of the many eateries nearby in Levens, Grange Over Sands, Cartmel, Kendal or Bowness.

Central heating is provided throughout using individually-operated Victorian cast-iron radiators.

There are no cooking facilities. However, there is a vast choice of gastropubs, lovely hotel restaurants, and cafes nearby – most are open seven days a week. These include Levens Hall Café & Gardens, The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite, The Hare & Hounds at Levens, Bangkok 7 in Kendal (if you like Thai, you’ll love this one!), The Gilpin Spice at Crook (an open kitchen restaurant serving tapas-style pan-Asian dishes).
-
For that special occasion, there is Simon Rogan's Michelin 2 Star restaurant L'Enclume & his 1 Star restaurant Rogan & Co both in Cartmel (17 mins drive) or his Michelin Plate restaurant Henrock, in Bowness (22 mins drive). We also have the Michelin Star HRiSHi restaurant at The Gilpin Hotel & Lake House, Crook (21 mins drive).

Within an hour’s drive of Rawsons, there are four other Michelin Star restaurants – Ambleside/Grasmere/Penrith & Keswick. These are perfect for special days out centred around fabulous lunch!
-
Low Sizergh Barn Shop, with one of the most scrumptious cheese counters you’ll find, is just 7 mins drive away. Here you can buy everything you need for picnicking indoors or outdoors – and watch the cows being milked simultaneously! Most, if not all, of their products are either homemade, homegrown or locally sourced.
-
For those who can’t resist an outrageously good pie with their picnic, a visit to Higginson’s award-winning Butchers in Grange Over Sands is an absolute must (13 mins drive).
