CASE STUDY
decision has seen the hotel become one of the best in the country, bringing together Victorian elegance and modern comforts, all while honouring the natural beauty that surrounds it. In a collaboration that brings together two family-run British businesses, Thwaites chose handcrafted Hypnos mattresses not only because of exceptional comfort and support, but also because of a shared eye for detail and a love of heritage.
Mike Vincent, general manager, said,“ We wanted our guests to feel completely at ease, wrapped in calm and comfort. Hypnos was a natural choice because its values around sustainability and craftmanship mirror everything we stand for at Langdale Chase.”
Thwaites selected the Woolsleeper mattress from the Hypnos Signature Hotel Collection. Each mattress is expertly handcrafted in the UK using 100 % British wool that can be traced right back to the farm. The wool is certified Responsible Wool Standard( RWS) and sees British farmers paid a fair price for the wool they supply through The Woolkeepers scheme. With eOlus layers to add luxury and covered in sustainably sourced, unbleached cotton and viscose to provide a luxurious, breathable sleeping surface; the mattress is handcrafted by Hypnos in Princes Risborough.
David Baldry, group managing director, Hypnos, said,“ Working with Thwaites and the team at Langdale Chase has been a real pleasure. We’ re aligned in our dedication to British heritage, quality, and creating memorable experiences through thoughtful design. Our Signature Hotel Collection mattresses bring all of this together, offering luxurious comfort that’ s responsibly made to last.”
The hotel’ s 30 bedrooms celebrate original period features while offering modern luxuries, including minibars and locally made Cumbrian toiletries from Bath House. For something even more private, guests can book the standalone Boathouse Suite, complete with a rooftop terrace and wraparound balcony. From luxurious beds to experiences aboard the hotel’ s beautifully restored 1928 wooden motor boat, Langdale Chase invites guests to slow down and reconnect with nature in a setting The Times has likened to‘ Lake Como vibes in the Lake District’.
