This property enjoys an idyllic location in the Lake District, less than one mile from the edge of Lake Windermere, the largest of the region’s lakes. One of only a few properties in the Lake District recognised by Visit England given a 5 star Gold rating .There is plenty to see and do both on and around the edge of the lake, including the towns of Bowness and Ambleside, the country park at Fell Foot, numerous water sports, leisurely cruises, and of course scenic walks. There are also a number of interesting properties and heritage sites in the area such as the Lakeside Wray Castle, Beatrix Potter’s home Hilltop and Dove Cottage, the former home of William Wordsworth. The area is also known for the range of outdoor pursuits on offer and there are a number of adventure centres nearby which offer the chance to have a go at climbing, canyoning and ghyll scrambling amongst other activities.

Upon entering, guests will find themselves in a hallway from which a door leads into the impressive open-plan sitting/ dining room: a stunning, light-filled room with wooden floors, a contemporary-style wood-burner, plump sofas and Smart TV. A wide opening from the dining area leads through to the sleek, well-equipped kitchen with AGA for year-round warmth. Returning to the sitting area, double doors lead through to a cosy snug room which, with its bay window and second wood-burner, offers a quiet retreat from the rest of the house and is the ideal place to relax with a drink and good book. Two of the property’s bedrooms are located on the ground floor, the first of which is a chic super-king-size room benefitting from an en-suite with walk-in shower featuring local slate and WC. The second bedroom is a king-size room with a walk-in wardrobe, close to which is a shower room with WC. Heading back to the main hallway, guests pass a study area, perfect for those who need a work area, before taking the LED-lit stairs to the master bedroom suite on the first floor. This truly magnificent space adds a touch of glamour to the property. The elegant and contemporary space is a true sanctuary, not only offering a super-king-size bedroom with TV, but its own opulent lounge which was originally designed as an art studio, and a stunning en-suite bathroom with a deep, tear-drop shaped, free-standing bath, separate shower and WC.

Patio doors from the lounge open on to the property’s garden where there is a sloping lawn, as well as a sheltered, private patio seating area with garden furniture and a BBQ. There is ample parking provided for three cars. Note there is a step up to the entrance of the property.

This is a lovely cottage. It looks unassuming from the outside, but is actually quite spectacular (and a bit of a tardis - huge!). Furnishings, decor and objets d'art are all high quality (loved the bath and bedding). We used the aga to cook every meal and loved relaxing in the living room each evening.

We had a really fabulous weeks stay at the beautiful Nethercroft. It had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space for parking 3 cars and in the cottage there was more than enough room for the six of us. Lovely views and great location. Thanks

This setting is simply stunning and ideal to get back to nature. The owners have created a luxury home from home with everything catered for. Great central location for visits to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere, Ulverston and Hawkshead but this the kind of place you can't wait to get back to as well.
