    “Four of us stayed at this wonderful property.”

    The cottage is finished to a very high standard and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable week away. The views are stunning from the balconies. The location is perfect for accessing good walks, local villages and towns and was a 5 min walk from The Mortal Man pub in on direction and 10 min walk to The Queens Head in the other.

    The cottage is finished to a very high standard and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable week away. The views are stunning from the balconies. The location is perfect for accessing good walks, local villages and towns and was a 5 min walk from The Mortal Man pub in on direction and 10 min walk to The Queens Head in the other. We visited both pubs more than once and they serve great food and were really cosy and welcoming, so really nice to have them on the doorstep. Finding the cottage is a little tricky but having read others reviews we planned ahead for that, and the parking is adequate but also slightly tricky if you drive a larger car…but that’s to be expected in the Lake District and didn’t bother us at all. Overall we think this is one of the best properties we’ve stayed in and we’ve been visiting the Lakes for 20 years now. We would highly recommend to others and will definitely look to book again.

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 super king size bedroom is a chic bedroom and enjoys stunning views also and the mountains appear so close you feel you can reach out and touch them, this bedroom has a luxury en-suite with double ended deep designer bath and a separate monsoon shower cubicle.

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. Location A blissful and romantic treat in the Troutbeck Valley provides a Lake District holiday experience like no other.

About the location

TROUTBECK

Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.

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.
