    “We’ve had a wonderful week at Pheasants Folly for my birthday.”

    The property is beautiful and the views absolutely stunning. We saw daily changes in the view over lake Windermere from snow to mist and glorious sunshine. Fully equipped kitchen -even an electric whisk- we were able to bake ready for the Bake Off final. Some wood was available so we were able to light the fire on the snowy day and watch a Christmas movie. Games room is lovely with spectacular views and wildlife. We even saw a wood pecker. Easy reach to a wonderful spa, a nature reserve, ...

    The property is beautiful and the views absolutely stunning. We saw daily changes in the view over lake Windermere from snow to mist and glorious sunshine. Fully equipped kitchen -even an electric whisk- we were able to bake ready for the Bake Off final. Some wood was available so we were able to light the fire on the snowy day and watch a Christmas movie. Games room is lovely with spectacular views and wildlife. We even saw a wood pecker. Easy reach to a wonderful spa, a nature reserve, lake side walks and Windermere town. Gilpin restaurant and lakeside was very close by too for afternoon tea. We all really enjoyed our stay. 3 generations together and we all felt very comfortable. Thank you! X

The spacious property offers breath-taking views of Lake Windermere and is a superb base to stay while exploring the southern Lakes and beyond; after a day of walking, take off your shoes at the front porch and enter the underfloor heated hallway and cloakroom.

Downstairs is the lounge, there, you will find brightly coloured sofas, a wood-burning stove, a Smart TV with soundbar, and stylish wallpaper and artwork.

Completing the interior is the family bathroom with a bath, basin, and WC.

Use the expansive, sloping garden, which has a patio area with outdoor furniture ideal for dining alfresco, during the summer months or give the chef a break by dining at one of the many pubs and restaurants in and around Bowness and Windermere area.

Take a trip to the west side of the lake to walk around the peaceful High Dam, Finisthwaite, visit Stott Park Bobbin Mill too or closer to the house, head up Gummer's How for far reaching views of Lake Windermere and the central fells.

Nearby is Lakeside, with it's Aquarium, Haverthwaite steam railway or you can catch a cruise around Lake Windermere or head to National Trust's Fellfoot Park. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, where contemporary exhibits are devoted to the renowned children's author, or head across the lake via the ferry to find Beatrix Potter's former house, Hill Top, which is owned by the National Trust.

There is so much to explore, so why not take the entire family on a unique stay to Pheasants Folly.
