Nestled in the Cumbrian countryside close to the shores of Lake Windermere, this charming home lies on a 5,000-acre estate with a few other holiday homes and an indoor pool. The large terrace has alfresco seating and a private Jacuzzi for taking in the surrounding views. The sleeping arrangements can be flexible and are great for families, with three bedrooms that can be set up as twins or doubles. You'll definitely want a car here – the festival town of Ulverstone isn't far, and there are family attractions like the South Lakes Safari Zoo, plus plenty to get up to on Lake Windermere.

About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
