Long before it became a Lake District tourist attraction, the Chocolate House was a bakery - the old outlines of the bread ovens are still visible in the restaurant - as well as an antiques shop, a travel agent and a ladies fashion shop. As many of our English traditions are fast disappearing, we are committed to retaining a few of the best from the 1600’s.
No wonder chocolate is said to have aphrodisiac properties!
This special loft space is a unique gallery exhibiting local and some national works from a wide spectrum of fine art, photography, textiles, jewellery, glassware, ceramic art and sculpture.
