Scheme seeks to reimagine historic lakeside hotel and gardens for new era

Feilden Fowles has submitted a scheme to revitalise the Sharrow Bay Hotel site in Cumbria to the Lake District National Park Planning Authority.

The masterplan includes the restoration and conversion of the original hotel’s existing buildings and gardens, along with the expansion of facilities.

The scheme aims to utilise the existing building stock to minimise new construction, employ sustainable materials, install on-site renewable energy, and improve accessibility across the 17-acre site.

Ruth Pearn, project architect at Feilden Fowles, said: “It has been a pleasure to play a part in the restoration of such a culturally significant hotel, and explore the social history and physical qualities that have made Sharrow Bay Hotel an iconic and much-loved destination over the last 75 years.
