This magnificent period residence is a castle in its own right and proudly exhibits the original tower, now a magical bedroom, with panoramic and simply breathtaking views, arguably the best from anywhere in The Lake District and probably the British Isles.
Aptly named this sumptuous place literally has it all and translated the Latin meaning 'LARGE HOUSE', we think this sums it up to a tee!
For a holiday with 'wow factor' - this is a special place and one to spend your precious time together soaking up Lakeland's luxuries.
Step inside and take pleasure in the outstanding features echoed throughout, ancient England blends effortlessly with 21st century life but the views remain exactly the same - climb to the magical tower room, here you are higher than the tallest of trees and birds fly way below you, but take a breath as this view is simply to die for!
Leave aside the 'million dollar views' for a moment and wander into the beautiful garden with terrace.
Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Domvs is a grand statement property delivering comfort and matching your high expectations.
Enjoy the luxury chic bathrooms, sleek yet grand bedrooms all en-suite, 21st century kitchen, a dining room fit for any formal gathering and a drawing room complete with warming open fire, opening into a sun room / conservatory, all wrapped up in sophisticated technology, are but a few things to mention.
The area has everything you could wish for and bustling Windermere will tempt you out to sample excellent restaurants and cuisine.
