PENN IT IN | With cosy season well and truly upon us, we can think of few places we’d rather retreat to for a few hibernal days than The Penn The Penn - Windermere . Tucked away in the heart of the Lake District, this family-owned, design-led, room-only hotel makes the perfect base for exploring one of the most beautiful corners of the UK. And with rooms full of colour, character and carefully considered details, there’s plenty of reason to stay in, too.
‘When renovating the hotel, we wanted each room and bathroom to feel individual, with its own personality, whilst complementing the building’s original charm. Colour, texture and thoughtful details played a big part in bringing this vision to life.
We chose Bert & May for their beautiful range of designs and colours, as well as their practical porcelain tiles, which were perfectly suited to a busy hospitality setting.’ — Madeleine Sidi, Owner.
From rich, moody colours to bold geometric patterns, Bert & May tiles feature throughout the hotel, giving each space its own distinct identity while sitting comfortably alongside the building’s original features.
The result is a collection of wonderfully individual rooms, made for slowing down, settling in and enjoying a few days away. All the more appealing at this time of year.
