Luxurious period house on the shores of Lake Windermere

Built in 1837, the house has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. The lake is less than 50 metre from the property boundary, so there are lake views from many rooms and from the large gardens and meadow. We have 4 luxurious double bedrooms, all ensuite, there is a beautiful kitchen and dining room, and an elegant drawing room. Close to Ambleside (centre of the Lake District), with easy access to other villages, the lakes, and the fells. On site parking. As good as it gets!

Beautiful House in a perfect location
This is a perfect holiday home. A stylishly decorated, spacious well equipped house with stunning, uninterrupted lake views. Gillian is a great host and answered any queries we had very quickly. We were made to feel very welcome. EV charging on site was really useful & it’s only a 10 minute walk into Ambleside. There are hill walks possible directly from the house. We loved it.

Simply spectacular home.
This is an amazing, historic, upscale home in a beautiful area with spectacular views over the lake. Don’t even bother looking at any other homes if this is available. The gardens are a delight and the home is perfect in every way. David and Gillian were lovely and were extremely responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay. PS: A must hike if you like hiking is the trek up Wansfell Pike, then down the other side through Troutbeck, where tea and scones at the old Post Office are a must, then down Robin Lane as it meanders back to the home. It’s about a 4-5 hour hike and is quite steep going up to Wansfell Pike, but soft and easy after that. Pick it up in the center of Ambleside just to the right of the waterfalls. And, if you like vegetarian/vegan, Fellinis is as good as it gets. We hope you enjoy everything about this home and this area as we did. M Rob, Mindy and Family.

This is an amazing place for my family to spend our Easter weekend. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.
The property fulfilled all my requirements for space, amazing views, peace and tranquillity for a memorable Easter get together with eight members of my family members. The icing on the cake was that we had good weather throughout the Easter weekend, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden and walks in the surrounding areas, including a visit to the nearby National Trust park. We will most certainly come back to the property in the future. Gillian was a wonderful host and did everything possible to make us all feel welcome. I particularly commend her for her efforts to swiftly restore the internet connection when WiFi system went done Thx for your hospitality.
