Enjoy a luxurious Lakeland getaway in this magnificent holiday home on the banks of Ullswater. Sleeping eight guests and two waggy-tailed pals, the spacious property makes the ideal base for large families and groups of friends. Enjoy walks through the 26-acre estate and along the private stretch of shoreline, or head further afield to take on Lake District highlights such as Helvellyn (6.5 miles) or Blencathra (17 miles).
The stylish retreat combines beautiful exposed beams and stonework with elegant furniture and luxurious design elements. The main living space is arranged across two levels, with a lower cinema room and a mezzanine-style seating area with plump sofas and armchairs. The sleek kitchen is full of high-spec appliances to make self-catering a breeze, and the stunning dining room boasts panoramic views across Ullswater. With wooden floors and bi-fold doors leading to the garden, this room is a good place to set up the dog beds. There’s also a handy utility room for storing all your dog-walking gear. Each of the four bedrooms is decorated in its own, unique style, with plush linens, plenty of storage, and en-suite facilities. Outside, soak up the scenery on your enclosed, private terrace or explore the wider estate, which is shared with one other holiday home. There is parking on a gated driveway for four cars.
The surrounding landscape is a paradise for keen walkers. Let Rover and Fido lead the way on an exhilarating hike to the summit of Place Fell (7 miles) or Dale Head (3 miles). You can also join the Ullswater Way, which circumnavigates the lake. To admire the scenery from the water, head to the Ullswater Steamer pier, 0.5 miles away, and take a boat trip with the pups to Pooley Bridge or Aira Force waterfall. For shopping and eating out, the bustling town of Penrith is 10 miles away.
