Family-owned and run

About Heather Glen

Family has always been at the heart of Heather Glen, since it was first conceived to how it is still managed today. We welcome all our guests as friends and invite you to share our little corner of Cumbria.

How it all began

About Us

Built in 1900 by a local stonemason for his family, Heather Glen first opened its doors to the public as a country club in the 1950s. In 2008 the house was adopted by the Smith family, Dennis, Judith and Damion. Since then it has been carefully restored, renovated and refurbished to the high standard you see today. The original country house, complete with its fantastic features, has been returned to its former glory with new rooms added in a more contemporary style.

Heather Glen is run as a labour of love for the Smith family, with siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren all pulling together to make this beautiful place a haven that all visitors can enjoy.

Ready to welcome you ...
