Mirehouse is a “Manor from Heaven” according to Melvyn Bragg. Set in stunning landscape between mountainside and Bassenthwaite Lake, the gardens include a tranquil walled garden planted for bees, a terraced Poetry Walk and woodland playgrounds.
The house has a wealth of unique literary connections – Tennyson, Southey and Thomas Carlyle.
Visitors enjoy a relaxed welcome to this living family home and estate.
