Lake Windermere House in The Lake District

Sleeps 10, Bedrooms: 5

LUXURY LAKESIDE RETREAT FOR A SELECT GATHERING

Is it a hunting lodge? A ski chalet? Or just an amazing lakeside home with plaid throws, faux fur rugs and a showpiece antler chandelier. It sounds rustic, but Lake Windermere House is a modern wonder in an unbeatable location with uninterrupted lake views and its own private jetty.

Start your days at the breakfast table, catching the morning sun, and eat later at the magnificent 3.5m bespoke, Whetstone Oak dining table. Hunker down in the family room, stoking the Stuv wood burner and watching the sunlight chase over the lake. Cosy up in the cinema room, on the Roche Bobois Mah Jong sofa or seek out the games room with its 8-foot pool table. If you’re a gym bunny, you’ll love the glass-fronted gym and sauna pods with lake views. In every room, enjoy unadulterated luxury and high-end brands like Ralph Lauren, Andrew Martin and Van Thiel, brought together with a designer’s eye.

Now, step onto the sun terrace and take a moment. The landscaped lawns meet the water’s edge and views stretch across Lake Windermere to the hills beyond. Fire up the barbecue, sink into a sun lounger and there’s no better place to be.

To fill your days, Bowness-on-Windermere is on your doorstep and is one of the UK’s premier destinations for outdoor activities. Further afield, visit Holker Hall, or hire bikes, go on a lake cruise, climb a mountain. Five fabulous bedrooms await your return, most with lake views and a balcony. Vispring beds, high quality furnishings and ensuites in Mandarin stone with Drench showers make each bedroom a sanctuary. For location, style and comfort, Lake Windermere House is in a class of its own. Perfect for select gatherings and special occasions.

Guest reviews

This is a house that absolutely oozes quality throughout. Having stayed in many upmarket holiday homes, I can quite honestly say this was the best. My (grown up) kids loved the facilities such as the private cinema and games room. My wife and I just couldn't get enough of the breathtaking views across the lake. This really is something special - thank you to you and your team for suggesting it and all the help offered. Well done Big House Experience!

Timothy, Cirencester

We booked a special family holiday in the Lake District through Big House Experience. From start to finish the experience was 5-star...Lake Windermere House was all that was described and more. Private, well-equipped, spacious and in a stunning location immediately overlooking the lake.

Keith, Stirling

I have stayed at this property a few times over the summer and in the winter and it never disappoints. It is the perfect location for relaxing, and is just a short walk to the local pubs and restaurants. The house is stunning, and waking up to the view of the lake is an absolute highlight!
