Armathwaite Hall Hotel

Armathwaite Hall Hotel is a house converted into a hotel, originally built in the mid-19th century with a late 19th-century extension on the site of an earlier house for the Fletcher-Vane family. The building features dressed red sandstone with calciferous sandstone ashlar dressings, flush quoins, string courses, and a battlemented parapet, all resting on a plinth of similar material. It has graduated greenslate roofs and tall ashlar chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high with numerous bays, flanked by three-storey towers and a right-angled two-and-a-half-storey, five-bay wing, creating an overall L-shape in a Tudor style.

The garden facade includes central recessed bays with a square tower on the right and a rectangular tower on the left, all showcasing cross-mullioned windows with multiple cusped-headed lights. The right tower features a battlemented angle turret. The rear facade has a projecting entrance bay with a panelled door set in a Tudor archway, flanked by cusped-headed sidelights, beneath a large cross-mullioned staircase window. Above this is a gabled pediment displaying the Fletcher-Vane coat-of-arms. The large ground-floor windows mirror those on the garden facade, while smaller two- and three-light stone-mullioned windows are also present. The wing, designed similarly, features two- and three-light stone-mullioned windows and segmental-arched dormer windows.

Inside, the hotel has mid-19th-century rooms with Tudor-style fireplaces and moulded plaster ceilings. The late 19th-century rooms boast wood panelled walls and ceilings. The bar area includes a large German wood fireplace adorned with carved figures and animals.
