Some people might know the firm 'Travelling Light' which went out of business.
It's now been resurrected on a smaller scale as 'Travelling 2', based on the premises it always had in the village of Morland, Cumbria.
There's a little more here:

Not that this is an ad for the clothing, but just to say if anyone is in the area, a visit is well worthwhile, as the shop is housed in a magnificent stable block, which once must have been home to some fine horses from the adjacent Big House (Morland House).
That's not all - the owners have kindly thrown open the gates to allow people to wander round the delightful grounds and gardens of the house free, and a super new caff has opened too, there's a new holiday let, and the lovely village of Morland to walk around.

See Morland church with the only Saxon tower in the North West of England - the oldest building in Cumbria still in daily use for its original purpose.

If you want somewhere grand to stay, there's always:

Post foot and mouth, so many places are re-inventing themselves as more than farming communities, it's good to see this one attracting more visitors.
