Set just 5 miles beyond the stunning mountains and ethereal lakes of the Lake District National Park, this impressive property is the ideal base for ten guests seeking adventure without scrimping on luxury. Surrounded by rural splendour, this elegant retreat is set across several floors and brimming with enchanting details including roaring fires, lavish sleeping facilities and gorgeous entertainment spaces. The owners have even provided a thoughtful welcome pack bursting with locally sourced goodies.
The property is a masterpiece of design with traditional beams, stone fireplaces and a combination of wooden steps and cast-iron staircases, complete with contemporary decor and extravagant accessories. Relax with a glass of wine, curling up by the wood burner in the snug, or heading upstairs to the second lounge, which has a wooden balcony with inspiring views of the Cumbrian countryside. The downstairs kitchen is a must for any budding celebrity chef, so pour the Champagne and settle down for leisurely meals by candlelight. You’ll have over five sumptuous bedrooms to choose from: two on the lower floors, and three secreted in the upper levels and accessed via spiral staircases. Teamed with beautiful bathroom arrangements for an evening’s pampering, you are guaranteed to feel refreshed every morning. Outside, the attractive landscaped garden has furniture for al fresco dining against a spectacular backdrop of rolling hills, and there is off-road parking for five cars.
The nearby village of Ulverston is a popular market town best known for its links to stardom, having been the birthplace of comedic genius Stan Laurel. Boasting the world’s only Laurel and Hardy museum, pretty shops and tempting eateries, the town is easily reached within 2 miles. Venture further afield to experience the sheer beauty of the lakes themselves, boarding a ferry to cross the tranquil waters of Windermere 9 miles away.
