A stone’s throw from the idyllic village of Grasmere, the 17th Century former farm will feature seven plush en-suite bedrooms, a rustic bistro and an open-plan lounge area.
Family-run, The Yan will epitomise Cumbrian hospitality, offering guests a wholesome welcome, hearty food and stylish interiors, placing the new bistro with beds as the perfect base for those who want to explore The Lakes.
Nestled amongst the Central Fells, and named after the Cumbrian word for the number ‘one’, the centre-piece to The Yan will be an open-plan bistro and lounge area. The area will combine elements of old and new to create a contrasting yet welcoming environment – a theme that will run throughout the interior design.
Floor to ceiling windows and skylights will fill the communal areas with natural light, allowing guests to look out onto the breathtaking natural landscape, while exposed steel girders and ceilings, wood clad panelling and slate features will create an industrial feel.
An open steel staircase leading up to the bedrooms and a modern floating log burner will add to the contemporary surroundings, with comfy furnishings enabling guests to sit, relax and take in the stunning scenery.
Each of the seven plush ensuite bedrooms will have their own individual characteristics, mirroring both the unique surrounding landscape and quirks of the historic building. The bedrooms will also include contemporary touches and luxurious details, creating a serene haven for guests.
The bistro will be open to both overnight guests of The Yan and the public, serving seasonal, hearty dishes inspired by the farm’s rich history. A casual yet classy eatery, the menu will use locally sourced and sustainable ingredients as the focal point, creating rustic Cumbrian classics and nostalgic British favourites.
