You can't get much closer to Windermere than this – the shores of the mighty lake are right on your doorstep at this elegant five-bedroom country residence. And with access to a private jetty and mooring for a boat, you can arrive in style here too. Hidden away in the woodlands of an exclusive 5000-acre holiday estate, this home is perfect for groups looking for more privacy and peace during their Lake District stay. Spend days paddleboarding, lilo sunbathing, or wild swimming – you can always warm up in the hot tub afterward. But if you're more of a fair-weather swimmer, never fear – there's an indoor heated swimming pool (bookable) located on this estate, along with a playground and home farm shop with locally sourced goodies. When it's time to explore, there are so many walks in the area you'll be itching to get out. Or nip over to the historical Hawkshead, home to many adored restaurants and pubs – it's just a ten-minute drive away. Back at home, behind the traditional Cumbrian stone walls, this period home offers pure modern luxury. The made-for-action kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up a feast (we're talking two ovens, two microwaves, and...Read more a welcome hamper stuffed with goodies). And there's room for you all to spill out at that vast dining table overlooking the lake. Or, on warmer evenings, take your meals outside on the terrace – the barbecue, firepit, and hot tub will keep the night flowing. Read less
