Your North West Wedding - October/November 2025 (Issue 94)

A ‘suite’ Autumn break Take a break from the wedmin and enjoy a luxurious break at Storrs Hall, Cumbria. Surrounded by woodland, the Lakeside Suites are vast in size, just metres from the waters of Windermere, and come complete with private terrace and Japanese-style cedar wood hot tub, plus loungers and blankets – perfect for enjoying the breathtaking lake views in comfort and privacy. Designed with relaxation in mind, the suites are a contemporary contrast to the Georgian charm of the main house, providing seclusion while maintaining access to the hotel’s renowned services and dining. Guests can order everything from hot chocolates and cocktails for al-fresco evening drinks, to hamper breakfasts and decadent dinners – all to the accomodation! A host of activities on and around the lake can be arranged to, from guided paddleboarding to clay pigeon shooting – and some of the Lake District’s best walking and cycling routes are nearby! An autumn stay in a Lakeside Suite costs from £469 per night including breakfast and arrival treats.

The brewery has pledged to return to its roots, reviving old favourites like Sneck Lifter and Cocker Hoop, alongside new additions such as Derwent Mild and Back Yam – a nod to the Cumbrian dialect phrase meaning ‘back home’. While orders for the beer are already being taken, development of the historic site will continue apace, with plans for an expanded taproom, a distillery, short- and long-term office space, and workshops for local tradespeople – perhaps even a hotel in the future. Newly appointed head brewer Buster Grant is also relishing the opportunity to bring Jennings back to life. “It’s amazing to be part of Jennings and to be working in this historic site. The beers are iconic symbols of the Lakes, and I’m hugely proud to be able to add to this wonderful history and legacy.” Visit jenningsbrewery.co.uk LATEST NEWS 7
