“Generally cottage was great, Christmas decorations unexpected but a very nice touch and welcome pack also a nice touch.”

...

However not all kitchen utensils clean food residue left guess you rely on previous guests to clean ut they should e checked Also heating not up scratch house cold in mornings, Ok by later timer set for summer time so actually not coming on until late in morning so no chance to warm up, mentioned to Lakelovers but owners did nothing as remotely operated. This would make us think twice about coming back to what was otherwise a superb cottage Finally parking was fun ! especially in dark but with care was fine

Most definitely did not want to leave. Facilities first rate. Lovely views, beautiful setting, very peaceful. Great local walks and we enjoyed the restaurants in Ambleside.

“The best holiday cottage we have stayed in.”

Haystack has fantastic views with the 'wow' factor. The cottage had everything you need to have a very enjoyable stay, in beautiful surroundings and two great pubs within a short walk.

The property

Haystacks is quite simply a gorgeous eclectic Lakeland find occupying a picture postcard outstanding setting with breath-taking panoramic views towards Lake Windermere. For a holiday with 'wow factor' this is a special place and one to spend your precious time together soaking up Lakelands luxuries - step into the impressive living spaces and catch your breath as you gaze through bi-folding walls of glass at the views; we describe the balconies as infinity balconies and you will see exactly what we mean - what a place to unwind. This luxurious escape is furnished for relaxation, designed with your every comfort in mind, embrace the vibrant contemporary, sophisticated and rustic interior, unwind on the glass balconies and soak up the view, cuddle up on the custom made soft furnishings by the warming woodburner, cook up a storm in the sublime kitchen and after a day on the fells or after a night in the local pub, have a soak in one of the two invigorating luxury bathrooms and fall into one of the sumptuous beds - bliss! Haystacks was given its name for several reasons but mostly because it's striking in every way possible! Forming a scenic and select section of this Lakeland residence. Outside the patio provides the ideal spot for morning coffee, or of course one of the glass balconies for a glass or two before dinner! You are surrounded by fabulous walking territory and only 4 mins walk away from two excellent pubs serving hearty meals and real ales, within easy reach of a well-stocked local shop and never too far from the stunning shores of Lake Windermere. Perfect! Haystacks uses renewable energy for all its underfloor heating and hot water system, this with LED lighting throughout the property allows Haystacks to boast its low carbon footprint contributing to the local environment. == Accommodation in detail One of three properties, Haystacks on a first floor level, is nestled in between two adjoining properties. This central position affords Haystacks a feeling of elevation and privacy with stunning views to the surrounding fells and lake. The split level accommodation adds to the charm of the property which offers modern style and convenience yet some very traditional features. Park your car and wander over the large slate patio to the granite entrance steps into Haystacks; a large slate entrance hall with walls of glass looking towards Yoke, Ill Bell and Froswick, open the bespoke oak door and enter the sublime kitchen/dining area and catch your breath when you see the view! Bi-fold glass doors open onto the infinity balcony and this kitchen has all you need wrapped up in granite and with a vaulted ceiling and oak beam you will struggle to get beyond this room! An oak staircase with glass balustrade and luxury carpeting leads to the lounge; what a magnificent room with a second balcony plus a further Juliet balcony, all gazing at the awe inspiring view towards the lake. The lounge also displays a vaulted and beamed ceiling, has sumptuous furnishings and a rug by the warming woodburner, you can't help but unwind in here.

The second bedroom is a king size also staring at those mountains and has its own luxury bathroom with power shower over a designer bath.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
