Historic Georgian Hotel on Nine Acres of Parkland in Wigton

Historic Setting and Rooms

The Greenhill Hotel is a Georgian mansion set in nine acres of parkland on the edge of Wigton. The hotel has 12 guest rooms, including standard doubles, twins, triples, quadruples, and family rooms, all with en-suite facilities and views over the grounds or Cumbrian countryside. Period details such as high ceilings and a sweeping staircase remain in the public areas, which include a lounge, conservatory, and a large function room.

Dining and Drink

The hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner built around local produce, with cooked-to-order full English breakfasts and three-course Sunday lunches. The Greenhill Hotel bar carries an extensive gin menu with local and international selections, and the cellar bar hosts events and live entertainment. Homemade afternoon tea is another option, and the kitchen provides vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals.

Weddings, Meetings, and Events

The Greenhill Hotel provides personalized wedding planning services for couples, supported by a large function room, a conservatory, and well-maintained gardens. The same on-site facilities cater to private celebrations and corporate events, with a business centre and meeting/banquet facilities available. The cellar bar adds a second setting for social gatherings and entertainment.

The Lake District National Park and Keswick, known for water sports, are within reach for day trips. Canoeing, cycling, hiking, and horse riding are available in the surrounding area, and the hotel has water sport facilities on site.
