Enjoy a luxurious stay when you choose this renovated cottage on The Heaning Estate. Explore 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, dotted with meadows and picnic spots, for something a bit special on their retreat.
A stay at this cottage, 1.5 miles from Windermere, offers couples and solo travellers the perfect balance of tranquillity and easy access to the very best of the Lake District National Park. At the heart of it all is Lake Windermere (2 miles), where you can board a cruise, hire a kayak, or simply stroll along the shoreline. Head to Bowness-on-Windermere (2.5 miles) for lakeside cafes, independent shops and relaxed dining with a view. Walkers are spoilt for choice. Orrest Head (2 miles) is one of the most accessible viewpoints in the area, with panoramic vistas that are especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset. For something more challenging, venture 5 miles to tackle Wansfell Pike, rewarding you with sweeping views across the central fells. Explore Ambleside (6 miles), known for its charming streets and cosy eateries, or take a longer scenic drive to Grasmere (10 miles) for literary heritage and classic Lakeland scenery.
Inside, a sumptuous sofa takes centre stage in front of an electric wood-burner-effect fire, creating a cosy focal point for evenings in. The generous, well-appointed kitchen is fitted with everything needed for a short break or extended stay, with a central dining table and white-washed beams adding character and charm. After a day exploring the fells, the wet room provides a refreshing shower to revive tired bodies. Walk up the stairs to the first floor, the king-size bedroom is styled in calming, nature-inspired tones and showcases beautiful exposed beams. This room is served by a handy en-suite basin and WC.
Outside, a private, fully enclosed courtyard garden with outdoor seating offers a secluded spot for morning coffee or supper under the open sky. Private parking for one car adds extra convenience so you can come and go with ease. The estate comprises five one-bedroomed barn cottages, five three-bedroomed homes, and a seven-bedroomed Victorian house, which can be booked individually, together, or in any combination to suit your requirements.
