Embrace tradition with a trip to the Lakes and discover this charming apartment, lovingly decorated with charming pine furnishings. Nestled on the ground floor of a remarkable country house, this property happily sleeps a party of five. Boasting acres upon acres of surrounding grounds and private access to the shores of Esthwaite Water, we can think of no better location for soaking up the majestic landscapes and stunning scenery that lie on-hand around you. Discover the heart of the Lake District National Park, safe in the knowledge that unrivalled comfort lies waiting for you at the end of each day.

Decorated throughout with a neutral colour scheme and calming decor, this property offers an instant home-from-home for all that step over its threshold. Step inside the sociable open-plan lounge and dining space, kept ambient and cosy with an open fire burning in the background. Sink into two delectable sofas at the end of each action-packed day, flicking through the Smart TV to find entertainment for all. You’ll find three bedrooms right here on the ground floor, one of which is a king-size master with the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom. Completing the property is 40 acres of shared outdoor space featuring gardens, woodland and a vast play area for children – all of which you’re welcome to enjoy.

Able down the private pathway to discover Esthwaite Water, a sparkling lake with an abundance of beautiful scenery. Those keen to explore further afield will relish in the close proximity to The Old Man of Coniston (8 miles) and Claife Heights (3 miles), with the Lakeland’s further mountains just a short car journey away.

Very good front room and fair sized kitchen, comfortable and roomy apart from the rear beds, which also suffer a bit from lack of storage space if you are avid walkers and cyclists as we are.

This is a lovely apartment and great value for money, I would recommend this place and definitely return should the opportunity arise. There are parts of the apartment which require some attention and the back double and single room don't appear to get much sunlight, this did not spoil our holiday. The apartment is big and the back double and singlRead moree room have their own hall way and bathroom which is bonus. Walking distance to Hawkshead and Tower Bank Pub/Beatrice Potter in other direction . Hide

Fantastic apartment with outstanding views. Very comfortable with everything you need, whilst away from home. Great walks in the grounds, and use of the rowing boats on Esthwaite Water was just perfect, especially while watching the sun set.

The flat is very spacious and has lovely views and the grounds are delightful. Walks straight out the back and boats to take out on to the lake. Sadly the flat was let down with maintenance issues which had either not been identified or not been fixed. Add to that noisy building work in the flat above that we were not told about in advance.

Our fifth time in flat 3 but our 20th at Broomriggs. Comfortable accommodation in a good area for exploring the Lakes and walking. Plenty parking, well kept gardens and splendid views from the terrace if you just want to stay put. Lots of walks nearby without having to drive too far and some from the house. Helpful caretaker.
