Description

Hawkshead 4.4 miles.

An exceptional, detached holiday property set in an elevated position, just half a mile from Lake Windermere, within the 5000-acre Graythwaite Estate.

Boasting delightful views towards the water, and four bedrooms, each equipped with their own excellent en-suites, this wonderful Windermere cottage provides the perfect, luxury base for a very special holiday spent with family or friends.

The contemporary kitchen is equipped to an excellent standard to ensure your party is well catered for, with a breakfast bar ideal for grabbing a quick bite before heading out for the day, and a spacious dining area where everyone can gather together to discuss plans.

The sitting room offers a large, open space, charmingly decorated with a tasteful country theme that blends well with the beautiful scenery surrounding this special cottage, benefiting from the warmth of a roaring woodburning stove for frosty evenings.

Outside there is a private patio garden, edged by woodland, providing the perfect place for barbecues on sunny days, with serene views stretching across the lake, while the wood-fired hot tub is perfect for relaxing.

With four lovely bedrooms to choose from, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, each guest will find themselves an elegant sleeping spot, with the bedrooms comprising two king-size rooms and two twin rooms.

Guests can roam the scenic estate grounds and enjoy the benefits of on-site fishing on the 2.5-acre trout fishing lake, a perfect way to relax during a peaceful afternoon.

Inspiring walks can begin in every direction, whether ambling along the shoreline of Windermere, heading into the Grizedale Forest for woodland walks, or embarking on a journey up one of the Lake District’s many peaks or fells.

Graythwaite Adventure offer guests an easy way to enjoy some exciting activities, with 4x4 off-road driving, axe throwing, bushcraft and plenty of watersports including paddle-boarding, there’s something for everyone!

Grizedale Forest also has exceptional mountain biking facilities with bike hire available here, or simply wander the walkways dotted with impressive sculptures.

A fine array of impressive country houses can be discovered nearby, with family-friendly attractions giving your little ones a chance to meet Peter Rabbit and his friends at Beatrix Potter's Hilltop home.

Return to this luxury cottage after an evening's stroll beside the lakeshore, a wonderful choice for a memorable holiday.

Had a fantastic stay in this house, it was immaculate and had everything we needed for our family of 6 adults, 2 teenagers and boxer dog.

The only small comment I would make is I thought the slate tiles in the garden needed resetting and some replacing, we had a couple of near trips on the loose ones.But overall a great stay.

A beautiful property only really let down by the wood fired hot tub which takes a load of wood to heat and reheat the water over several hours, and it's really only a hot bath not a hot tub perse, I.

e. there are no jets/bubbles. The TV in the lounge is an LG model and is not fit for purpose, too small for a large lounge, the response time is too slow and I couldn't get any of the apps to work. Other than that many plus points including luxurious bedding and towels, fantastic showers, great kitchen and spacious throughout. Others have commented that the garden is open so you have to watch dogs with open access to the road, we stayed in September and it wasn't too busy.
