About this property

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 place
The house and view were beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. Had a great time here. Hosts were quite standoffish at the end but I think we were a more boisterous group than they were expecting.
