The Boathouse, Ambleside

Arrival day: Friday | Sleeps: 4

VisitEngland 5 star rated property

Where in the Lake District is there better to be than on Lake Windermere in your very own luxury boathouse.  The setting is sublime and the views simply breathtaking in every way, this is a place to truly live it up and soak up and this magnificent place has to offer.  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.
 
The accommodation comprises; an ancient oak door leads to an entrance lower hall with viewing window into the wet dock and access to where you can keep your boat.  A contemporary oak and steel staircase takes you to the first floor with the first glimpse through the glass to that view.  The living area is luxurious and open plan with folding glass leading onto a viewing glass balcony.  The oak floor adorns sumptuous furnishings and the designer gloss kitchen has everything you need.  On this level is the super king size or twin bedroom with luxurious en-suite facility and an oak and steel staircase takes you to the top floor vaulted suite with another wall of folding glass doors to a viewing glass balcony and magnificent views out over the lake towards the majestic mountains backdrop.  The luxury bathroom is designed for long soaks and there is a walk in wardrobe. The Boathouse is one of those dreamy places and we look forward to showing you how dreams do become reality.
