About this property

Oak Bank is a luxurious and spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom house, set midway between Windermere and Ambleside, only two miles away from each town. It is set within beautiful gardens, close to Lake Windermere. It is ideal for a family group or couples holidaying together.

It is the perfect home for a family holiday. A five-minute walk will take you to fabulous Brockhole, the National Park Visitor Centre, set in 30 acres and boasting a stunning late Victorian house, beautiful gardens, cruises from its own jetty, a tree top adventure, zip wire, soft play area for young children and many other exciting adventures for the whole family. Guests of Oak Bank have shared use of 20 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens across the road at lovely Merewood Country House Hotel.

Climb the steps to your front door, walk through your entrance hall and enter your magnificent, open plan sitting room with dining area. You are sure to notice the large windows letting in plenty of natural light and the luxurious furniture set within understated and elegant décor. Go through the French window to sit and relax on your sheltered, south facing patio. Sip a favourite drink and take in the beautiful scenery as you gaze down towards the shimmering lake. Walk back inside to discover your impeccable, modern kitchen and start to plan your family meal, to be enjoyed that evening at your stylish dining table.

You holiday home is ideally placed to tour the Lake District by car or by bus, so why not set off for the day to discover the area’s charming villages and hamlets, sparkling lakes and dramatic valleys.

Why not leave the car for the day and set out on an inspiring walk up to lovely Wansfell Pike or make your way over the fells to the beautiful village of Troutbeck with its traditional slate cottages set in rolling green fields. On the edge of the village is Townend, a rustic Lakeland farmhouse, superbly preserved by the National Trust. A real historical gem!

At the end of your busy day unwind in your gorgeous and spacious bedrooms. Your first bedroom, set on the ground floor, is a deluxe split-level bedroom with king-size bed and en-suite bathroom. Climb the stairs to find your other deluxe split-level bedroom with king-size bed and en-suite shower room and your bright and cheerful, cosy twin with use of the third bathroom. From this floor walk out to your terrace and small rear garden to admire the lovely views towards Lake Windermere.

The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

  • Brian

    Beds are very comfortable. It's in a good and very quiet location, making it easy to get around either by car or public transport. We would definitely recommend Oakbank.

  • Peter

    For us it was a great location, with walks available from the front door and a ferry stop at Brockholes across the road (along with the Lakeland Visitors Centre). Would love to go back some time as would my children.
