Most glamping breaks give you somewhere lovely to stay. Few sit in the grounds of a hall that has stood for more than 700 years. At The Hamlet, the history is not a backdrop, it is part of the experience, and entry to the Hall is included in your stay. Here is what waits a short stroll from your hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samlesbury Hall dates back to the early fourteenth century, which makes it one of the oldest buildings you are ever likely to sleep beside. Wandering its rooms is a step into timber-framed halls, quiet chapels and centuries of Lancashire life. Because opening days can vary, and the Hall occasionally closes for weddings and private events, it is worth checking times before you plan your visit. The Garden Room Eatery stays open for Hamlet guests even on the days the Hall itself is closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samlesbury Hall has a reputation as one of the most haunted houses in Britain, with tales of numerous resident ghosts gathered over the centuries. The best known is Lady Dorothea Southworth, an Elizabethan woman whose story has been told and retold for generations. You do not have to believe a word of it to enjoy the atmosphere, and it gives the place a character that a newer building simply cannot match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hall runs a full calendar of events, and staying at The Hamlet puts you right on the doorstep for it. Depending on the season you might find guided history tours, the behind-the-scenes Secret Samlesbury experience, atmospheric torchlight tours, living history weekends such as Skirmish, a summer fayre, or the Hall’s much-loved Christmas ghost play in December. It is always worth a look at What’s On to time your stay around something that appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History aside, there is more than enough to fill a slower day on site. The grounds hold woodland walks and the Mayflower playground for younger guests, there is mini golf nearby, and Maria’s Tea Room is on hand for cakes, coffee and ice cream. Guests enjoy 10% off at both the on-site eateries, which makes lingering all the more tempting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A comfortable hut, a fire pit under the stars and 700 years of history to explore between naps. That is the kind of stay that stays with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
