Fairfield, Ambleside
Arrival day: Friday | Sleeps: 4
This luxury Lake District apartment isn't just a decadent dream inside; Fairfield lies within Lake Windermere's prestigious Pullwood Bay residence, dating back to 1891. The impressive country house stands within 50 acres of grounds and gardens, along more than half a mile of private lake shore. No expense is spared throughout this romantic hideaway (for one or two couples) or indulgent family retreat; walnut floors, ambient lighting, state-of-the-art sound system and sleek marble en-suite bathrooms. The open plan living area incorporates sophisticated dining space and a bespoke Pogenpohl kitchen. With grounds to wander in and private lake shore to admire, this really is a place to remember. Even better, you'll find the famous Drunken Duck pub restaurant a mile away, and Ambleside only two.
Fairfield has achieved Enjoy England Gold Award 2009/10 for exceptional quality of accommodation and customer service.
