Great Gable is a luxurious two-bedroom apartment, located on the first floor of Pullwood House, an esteemed, late Victorian property, built on the north-west shore of Lake Windermere. The house lies within the exclusive Pullwood Bay Estate, consisting of 50 acres of mature woodland, impressive landscaped gardens, half a mile of lakeshore, a private jetty and a shingle beach from which guests can launch boats and kayaks. The apartment has wonderful views across the lake and its sumptuous accommodation, de-luxe facilities, inviting landscaped grounds and lake shore access make this a perfect family holiday apartment. It is approximately three miles from the traditional Lakeland towns of Ambleside and Hawkshead.

Drive along the winding driveway to the magnificent Elizabethan styled house, look out for the wildlife and catch glimpses of the peaceful lake inlet as you go. Park in front of the house before climbing the original staircase to your front door, store your outdoor gear in the cupboard with handy drying cabinet then walk into your opulent, open plan sitting room with kitchen and dining area. Admire your deluxe and comfortable suite as you walk to your feature window to see stunning views of the shimmering lake and the acclaimed Fairfield Horseshoe. Sit down and take in the fascinating artwork, including beautifully displayed vintage movie posters and admire the splendour of this spacious and stylish apartment. Discover your Poggenpohl kitchen area and the extensive range of high-end facilities before walking through the impressive arch to your dining table, set in a stunning, sweeping bay window and anticipate memorable evening meals in this gorgeous space. Walk upstairs to find two spacious and charming bedrooms with chairs and attractive roof lines. Firstly, a king size with en-suite double ended bath and walk in shower and secondly a super king zip-link or twin with an adjacent walk in shower room. Both bedrooms have TVs.

Explore the beautiful grounds before heading to the lakeshore with its impressive jetty. If your early enough you might even get a glimpse of the otters! You will have a choice of many wonderful trails from your doorstep, whether it’s a low-level circular route or an adventurous hike up to the high fells. If you fancy an evening meal out without driving the car, why not visit the renowned Drunken Duck Inn which is just over a mile away.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
