A Family Welcome
Walk into the warmth of the Tufton Arms Hotel, a renowned coaching house
in the centre of the medieval market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland, and
savour the experience. You will be welcomed with a smile at reception
and a genuine concern that your stay will be not just pleasant but memorable.
It is quite likely you will immediately meet one of the owners, the Milsom
Family. They speak not of guests, but of friends who come to stay.
Fine Cuisine
Dinner is taken in the elegant Conservatory Restaurant, set overlooking
the cobbled mews courtyard. Be prepared to spend some time sifting through
the menus for a wide selection of delicious dishes, using local fresh
produce. The superb quality of the food has not gone unnoticed with Chef
David Milsom and his team having been awarded an AA red rosette. With
a wine list of over 160 bins, from £8.95 to £100, expertly chosen for
value and distinction, the perfect marriage to meat, game, fish or seafood
is assured.
Comfort & Hospitality
A former 16th century coaching inn, the Hotel was completely refurbished
in 1989 to evoke the Victorian era when the Tufton Arms reached its present
proportions. All twenty-one en suite bedrooms are individually furnished
and decorated, with all the modern day comforts you would expect.
Banqueting & Conferences
You may be on business or planning a function or wedding, in which case
there are three purposefully designed conference and function suites to
select from. Elegantly furnished to retain the hotel's character and ambiance,
the suites offer a luxurious backdrop to any occasion and meet all business
requirements.
Weddings and Receptions
The Tufton Arms Hotel provides the perfect setting for any occasion, set
against a backdrop for Victorian decor, character and charm. Combined
with warm hospitality, excellent cuisine and caring attentive assistance
from our team of staff you can be assured of a successful and enjoyable
event.
Our well-appointed reception suites can accommodate the smaller more intimate party to the larger reception for one hundred guests.
Conferences and Meetings
The Tufton Arms function suites can accommodate groups from five to one
hundred suitable for conferences, business presentations, training seminars
and corporate hospitality. A comprehensive range of activities and pursuits
for incentive groups and corporate entertainment are also on hand within
the Eden Valley and the nearby Lake District. Business support services
at the Hotel include photocopying, faxing and word processing. The Hotel
also has three additional syndicate rooms if required.
