Historic Lake District inn being redeveloped into £3m boutique hotel
The Kirkstone Pass Inn, which was bought by development company Supreme Escapes in 2021, is currently being refurbished to open as a boutique hotel with pub attached.
Supreme Escapes are a company who say they 'specialise in rural and countryside areas, taking semi-derelict buildings and finding new ways of giving them a new lease of life'.
They have previously developed a former Church in Cockermouth into a holiday home.
Company co-founder Jerry Huppert estimates that Supreme Escapes have so far spent around £3million and are hoping to have a final spend of around £3.25 million.
He said: 'We have given the building a new lease of life now for hopefully another 150 years.
'It's an honour to be given such an opportunity and I recommend more developers and investors go down the route of bringing back heritage and dilapidated building in the UK rather than just always jumping on the new builds.'
The developer hopes that the Kirkstone Pass Inn will be opened as a boutique hotel by the end of July with the pub element set to follow shortly after.
Following news of the redevelopment coming out on social media, the company faced a backlash to the plans with some people fearing the venue would be used for stag and hen parties as well as raising concerns about the loss of character of the building.
However Mr Huppert said that rumours of the pub being turned into a venue for stag and hen parties were 'unsubstantiated' and that those who are speaking out now against the plans should have supported the pub before it was allowed to have become semi-derelict.
'The way I look at it is something is happening, someone went and invested in a place that was going down, if the place was flourishing then the people wouldn't have sold it", said Mr Huppert.
'All the comments of 'we have just loss this', 'we have just lost that', this asset wasn't supported.
'The question is not should we have been allowed to come and do what we did, the question is why did the locals and whoever has bad feelings about what we have done, where has their support been all these years prior, it's easier to come back in hindsight.'

LSE plots 24-hour trading to revive interest in shares
Shares in UK-listed companies could be traded 24 hours a day under radical plans from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to tap into booming demand from night owl traders. The LSEG, which owns the flagship London stock market, is accelerating plans to launch a 24-hour trading platform to boost the appeal of the gloomy UK market and encourage overseas investors and younger traders to buy British shares. Changing trading patterns in the US, where transactions are increasingly done outside of working hours by a new generation of Gen Z retail investors on smartphone apps, is leaving traditional bourses exposed. Cryptocurrency markets, such as Bitcoin trading, already trade around the clock and more people trade shares in the small hours on platforms like Robinhood, making traditional market hours increasingly anachronistic. London-listed shares currently only trade between 8am and 4pm. The LSEG declined to comment on the plan, first reported by the Financial Times, but chief executive David Schwimmer has made no secret of his desire to boost the London market. Mr Schwimmer has transformed LSEG into a data and technology giant to rival Bloomberg following a $27bn (£21bn) takeover of Refinitiv, with the stock exchange now accounting for just 3pc of the group's revenues. Britain's stock market is facing a crisis after shrinking trading volumes and a dearth of new listing. Recent tax raids by the Government and tariffs woes have also dented companies. According to figures released by EY on Monday, UK-listed companies issued 59 profit warnings during the second quarter of 2025, a 20pc rise compared to the same period last year. A shift to 24-hour trading would mirror strides in the US where so-called 'dark pools' – which are private exchanges where buyers and sellers meet in secret – have become increasingly popular ways to trade shares overnight. Some dark pools, such as Blue Ocean, allow for shares to be traded once US markets close and last year the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a licence for a new Bermuda-based trading platform 24X to offer out-of-hours trading. Mainstream US stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) have sought to keep pace with the developments by extending trading hours. The NYSE asked the SEC for permission to extend its trading window outside of its traditional 9:30pm to 4pm time earlier this year. However any move to extend trading hours is likely to face fierce criticism from conventional fund managers. They use the closing price of shares to set the value of their funds, with trillions of pounds dependent on the closing price. Round-the-clock trading would make setting prices even more difficult, while fund managers are likely to resist moves to monitor the market 24/7.
