Self Catering - Greendoor style

At Greendoor we offer self catering with a difference. We supply all the towels and beds made up - you will even find little extras from Arran Aromatics in the bathrooms. The open larder means no need to panic about arrival times and having to pack basics because everything is there. The bedrooms are cleaned daily and the open areas are cleaned regularly throughout the day. Book for when you like for however many nights you like.

Booking by person or room Stanley house is open to its guests 24 hours a day. We will greet you on check in, show you your rooms and around the building then supply you with room and front door key so you can come and go as you please for the duration of your stay. All reception areas are then open for use solely for the guests of Stanley House. Two sitting rooms, kitchen opening into dining area and conservatory, drying room and downstairs loo. Private gardens with lawns running down to the confluence of the river Esk and Whillan Beck. We like to look after breakfast - which is served between 8.00am and 9.30am. For the rest of the day and night this room is yours too.

We supply and keep stocked the Open Larder with basic food, for the rest please visit our local shops and try the Cumbrian fayre.

If booking the whole building then we let you make your own breakfast and restock the Open Larder when you tell us it running low.
