Luxuriate in a stay at this unique, ground-floor apartment, less than 1 mile from Hawkshead and with panoramic views out over Esthwaite Water. The stylish, two-bedroom holiday home, which sleeps four guests, is set within an elegant, period country house, in the southern Lake District, about 1.5 miles from Windermere. Perfect for two couples or a small family, the apartment sits within parkland grounds of approximately 40 acres that reach right down to the shores of Esthwaite Water and include a play area.
Step into the apartment, to find interesting and quirky features such as a large map of the Lake District covering one wall. Wander into the bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with its colourful decor to recline on the comfortable seating; find a film on the Smart TV or play games. Whip up delicious meals in the kitchen area then pull up a chair to dine together at the table by the beautiful bay window. Discover both bedrooms are super-king-size but with zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as twins in advance. The family bathroom is close by. Make the most of the apartment’s setting by exploring the grounds, taking a rowing boat out on to the water in the summer and watching the children play pitch and putt or table tennis. There is a shared laundry on the site and parking is available.
Stroll into Hawkshead to pick up local produce or eat out; visit the Beatrix Potter gallery while you are here. Drive 5 miles into Ambleside for a much broader choice of shops, pubs and restaurants. Take a carriage or walk just over 0.5 miles from the centre of Ambleside to Waterhead to take a cruise out on Windermere. Hire your own motorboat here too to explore the expanse of water at your own speed.
