Holidays can stay with you forever and here at The Boathouse you will not be disappointed. On honeymoon or planning a very special occasion, this magical hideaway is the one.
Built in 1870 and now sympathetically restored way beyond any former glory with the 23rd century definitely in mind, blending into our National Park, proudly adorning Lakeland slate and reflecting glass - The Boathouse is somewhere to gaze out over the lake, forget everything and watch the ever changing mood of Windermere. A place of luxury is one where every detail is taken care of and here at The Boathouse; it certainly lives up to this reputation. This is a place to live in luxury, relax and spend precious time together - here you will escape from the everyday and live in the dream.
The setting is breathtaking, approached along a private driveway which seems to go on for miles and in a private secluded part of Pullwood Bay, circumscribed by 50 acres of grounds and gardens with over half a mile of Lake Frontage. The views are to 'die for'; they will remain with you long after you leave.
If you have your own boat then perfect and if not why not hire one for a few days - this is the way to tour our location in style and here your front garden is made of water...beautiful and tantalising Lake Windermere surrounds you. Here you not only truly experience Lake District life - you actually live on England's largest and most famous lake! Inside this is a luxury contemporary residence in every way with walls of glass pictures!
Here you are surrounded by glorious walking paradise with a mouth watering country pub / restaurant being only a mile away, the famous 'Drunken Duck'. Bustling Ambleside is but a five minute drive away, stocked with excellent restaurants, local shops, bars, cinemas and more.
If searching for somewhere truly special and where returning home will never be the same again, then go on, try The Boathouse, and experience Lake District lakeside luxury at its very best.
