The staff at the Lakes Distillery are very passionate about their whisky. Understanding this through the tour and their descriptions of the process and how the flavours develop adds another dimension to the product. It adds to the ambience of the experience. But if it’s really not your scene ring and ask.

Whisky is barrelled on site, yet stored off site for bulk storage Vodka and gin is bottled off-site at bottling plant

No idea

if you book online you can choose what time you can take the tour, subject to availability of course

Armathwaite Hotel is very close, I have never stayed there as we have a motor home but have heard good things about it

I can’t imagine so.

It may be too cumbersome to take the pram. There are stairs to climb and narrow passages to cross. Better use a baby carrier and leave the pram downstairs or in your car.

You do not state how old the toddler is They have to be 6 or over as the child would be very bored but you could go and one stay with the child and the other one do the tour

Hi, We recommend the Trout Hotel in Cockermouth, a lovely hotel only a short 15 minute drive to the distillery site. Kind regards, Laura from TLD team

I certainly hope dogs are not allowed in the bistro. Certainly not on the tour
