The Engineer is a striking one-bedroom apartment at Netherby Hall, blending historic character with contemporary luxury in the Cumbrian countryside near Carlisle. Defined by its unique split-level design and vaulted oak-beam ceiling, this spacious retreat offers a distinctive layout ideal for couples seeking something a little different.
Positioned toward the front of the Victorian stables, the apartment features an open-plan living space centred around a cosy fireside seating area. A well-appointed kitchen and dining area sit neatly within the layout, creating a sociable and comfortable environment for relaxing stays.
Upstairs, the elevated bedroom suite enjoys expansive west-facing views across the lawns of Netherby Hall, making it an exceptional spot to unwind and take in the evening sunset. The generous en-suite bathroom adds a further touch of indulgence, with both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower.

Beautiful place to stay, accommodation is amazing, staff very friendly and helpful, they even run a free shuttle bus to the pub that's about 5 miles away and bring you back, if you get a meal there, I cant recommend this place highly enough.
