Today's Wedding

Today we've had the pleasure of hosting a wedding at Losehill House Hotel. One of the exciting parts of hosting a wedding is seeing how each couple decide to decorate the hotel. The couple today had the great idea to hang flowers over our entrance door, as you can see in the image below.

This door is in fact the original door that was built in the Arts & Crafts style back in 1914 when the building was a farmhouse used by the CHA Walking Charity. The guesthouse welcomed people for 90 years until it was closed in 2001 due to the foot and mouth epidemic. The hotel you see today is here thanks to redevelopment by the previous owners.

Lose Hill and Win Hill

Our hotel gets its name from Lose Hill, the hill upon which we are based. At the bottom of the valley the land then rises up again to form Win Hill.

To uncover the reason for the two names, it's necessary to go back into the Saxon period of the 650s AD when the Kings of Mercia and Wessex on Losehill, and the King of Northumbria on Win Hill fought a great battle. Northumbria won hence the name Win Hill and Wessex and Mercia lost giving us the name Lose Hill and the name of the hotel.
