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.
