Just a mile from Windermere and within a striking Arts and Crafts manor house, this elegant apartment offers a tranquil Lake District escape. A flexible two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout makes this a fine choice for a grown-up getaway, with wonderful grounds and walks from the doorstep. Offering superb vistas across its gorgeous gardens, adjoining National Trust farmland and onto the fells beyond, this famous hall is a Lakeland gem. Completed in 1901, it’s now the setting for a select group of apartments, among them this beautiful first-floor holiday home.
Arrive in style via the grand entrance to the main building, then take the stairs to your own front door. A lovely L-shaped sofa sets the scene for laid-back downtime in the open-plan living space. Light and welcoming, the lounge area at one end has a Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker so you can unwind in true home-from-home style. To the rear, the kitchen is sleek with all the must-haves for hassle-free meal prep, with a contemporary dining suite where you can chat and plan your next day’s adventures. As bedtime beckons, relocate to your choice of two dream-inducing rooms: a king-size bedroom and a second with a super-king-size bed that, for ultimate flexibility, can be made up as twins instead. An en-suite shower room and a separate bathroom ensure convenience for all. A car park offers plenty of parking.
Surrounded by mature grounds that are rich in wildlife and offer fabulous views, enjoy leisurely strolls on site or wander a mile into Windermere town and, another mile further, for walks at the lake’s shore. On the other side of the lake, Grizedale Forest (9.5 miles) offers waymarked woodland trails and sculptures to discover with your pup, while the romantic village of Grasmere (11 miles) is perfect for a day out, with tearooms, galleries and gentle walks.
