All the character of a traditional Lakeland cottage, all the style of a chic country retreat.

Soothing Farrow & Ball colours, sinking leather sofas, distressed French antique furniture and fabulous woodburning stove...all set on a stunning combination of traditional slate and wooden floors. On sunny days, fling the patio doors open to make the most of the sun-trap garden. One or two couples, family or friends will find this an enchanting escape at any time of year, with lake cruises and country pubs only a stroll away.

Location
At the very southern tip of Lake Windermere, the small hamlet of Lakeside enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting. Lush green countryside, scattered with pretty tarns and embracing all the elegance of the lake and river shores.

Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly from Lakeside Pier, ferrying passengers the full length of the lake with stops at Bowness and Ambleside - two popular Lake District holiday destinations that you'll love to explore during your stay. Each has a wide range of shops and attractions, so why not do your shopping trip by boat?

Lakeside is home to two fantastic Lake District family attractions; the freshwater Lakes Aquarium (a reat treat for kids) and one end of the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway - take a short trip on a traditional steam train. Historic sites such as Scott Park Bobbin Mill, Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall and Holker Hall & Gardens are all within easy reach by car, with no need to navigate through busy tourist areas.

To your north west, you'll approach the landscapes that famously inspired the children's author Beatrix Potter via peaceful country lanes. Her former home can be visited at Hill Top, in the small village of Near Sawrey. Only a mile or so further, and you'll reach the enchanting village of Hawkshead  - a wonderful place to while away a day, exploring quaint cobbled streets and a blissfully car-free village centre.
