Hotel Heritage & History

Appleby Manor Country House Hotel, in Appleby Cumbria, was built in 1877 for a wealthy solicitor, John Alcock Heelis, and was originally named Garbridge House.

The design of the building was by the noted architect Octavius Hansard and the work was carried out under his supervision. The pink sandstone was cut at the nearby but now disused Heights Quarry and the entire building is lined with 9 inch brickwork. The siting of the building means the public rooms enjoy unparalleled views over Appleby Castle and the Eden Valley and towards the peaks of the Lake District, Cumbria. All the internal fittings are of the finest Pitch-Pine with the exception of the Oak Room Restaurant which, naturally, is panelled in English Oak.

This room, therefore, has two doors as its main entrance - Oak on the inside and Pitch-Pine on the outside - so that the continuity of the wood is felt whichever part of the building you are in.

At one time the estate covered an extensive acreage and was planned to be completely self sufficient with Walled Gardens, Greenhouses, a Dairy and Stabling.

The building was converted into a hotel in the late 1940's and was renamed Appleby Manor Hotel around 1976. The Dunbobin family purchased the hotel in September 2000 and undertook a refurbishment programme that resulted in the hotel being upgraded to AA 4 star in October 2007.
