The Business During my client’s ownership, the property has been completely refurbished and renovated which is reflected in the high standard of accommodation on offer. The property trades as a traditional family owned Lake District Boutique Guest House set in a Victorian House. White Lodge Hotel was built in 1842 as a Victorian Gentleman’s residence for a Mr Frank Robinson. It has had many lives since then one of which was as a private girls school, but is now a recently renovated 6 bedroomed guest house which trades on a bed and breakfast basis only. Our client chooses to run White Lodge Hotel in a relaxed manner and thus there are various opportunities to expand the current business levels through increasing the number of trading weeks, offering evening meals and utilising further bedrooms as letting accommodation.

The Lake District has recently joined the likes of the Grand Canyon, the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu by being awarded Unesco World Heritage status.
