Also added in to the mix are two adjacent but separate lodge hotels in Bristol and Solent and Middleton’s in York which has undergone extensive refurbishments. The jewel in the crown is the newly refurbished Langdale Chase on the shores of Windermere. An AA 5-star luxury hotel with a laid-back approach, 30 luxury bedrooms and suites, a 2 AA Rosette restaurant and big plans for the coming years. Apart from over 200 tenanted inns, the managed estate includes 10 highly individual accredited properties which deliver the core Thwaites family heritage product of great beer, as well as great food and hospitality.
