BRANTWOOD, originally being the principal building of a small estate, is an
attractive country residence, dating from the early 18th century. Its olde
worlde charm with oak beams and log fires in the winter, conjures up an
atmosphere of the past with the comforts of the present.
Reputedly an early Quaker meeting place, Brantwood stands in three acres
of secluded gardens in the picturesque village of Stainton.
| Conveniently situated for the
Motorway, the Hotel is ideally suited for a tour base for the Lakes or as an
overnight Journey Break DRIVE through the archway to the large
secure car park at the rear of the hotel into the tranquillity of
'Brantwood' where a warm friendly welcome awaits you. |

The Hotel is family owned and managed by
Susan and John Harvey, with their sons Stephen (executive chef) and Mark
(restaurant manager).
Their aim is to provide good food and comfort in an atmosphere of
informality, peace and relaxation. Guests can enjoy a holiday or break away
from the cares of everyday life. |
| The 12 bedrooms are all en-suite with
shower or bath and shower, colour television, radio, tea/coffee making
facilities and direct dial telephone.
Although the Hotel is centrally heated, electric blankets are provided
for the cooler evenings. |

freshly prepared foods from a Table d'Hôte or a là Carte menu, and a good
selection of wines.

There are many places of historic interest and natural
beauty within a short drive of the hotel. These include the dramatic
