The property
Hawkshead 4.4 miles. An exceptional, detached holiday property set in an elevated position, just half a mile from Lake Windermere, within the 5000-acre Graythwaite Estate. Boasting delightful views towards the water, and four bedrooms, each equipped with their own excellent en-suites, this wonderful Windermere cottage provides the perfect, luxury base for a very special holiday spent with family or friends. The contemporary kitchen is equipped to an excellent standard to ensure your party is well catered for, with a breakfast bar ideal for grabbing a quick bite before heading out for the day, and a spacious dining area where everyone can gather together to discuss plans. The sitting room offers a large, open space, charmingly decorated with a tasteful country theme that blends well with the beautiful scenery surrounding this special cottage, benefiting from the warmth of a roaring woodburning stove for frosty evenings. Outside there is a private patio garden, edged by woodland, providing the perfect place for barbecues on sunny days, with serene views stretching across the lake, while the wood-fired hot tub is perfect for relaxing. With four lovely bedrooms to choose from, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, each guest will find themselves an elegant sleeping spot, with the bedrooms comprising two king-size rooms and two twin rooms. Guests can roam the scenic estate grounds and enjoy the benefits of on-site fishing on the 2.5-acre trout fishing lake, a perfect way to relax during a peaceful afternoon. Inspiring walks can begin in every direction, whether ambling along the shoreline of Windermere, heading into the Grizedale Forest for woodland walks, or embarking on a journey up one of the Lake District’s many peaks or fells. Graythwaite Adventure offer guests an easy way to enjoy some exciting activities, with 4x4 off-road driving, axe throwing, bushcraft and plenty of watersports including paddle-boarding, there’s something for everyone! Grizedale Forest also has exceptional mountain biking facilities with bike hire available here, or simply wander the walkways dotted with impressive sculptures. A fine array of impressive country houses can be discovered nearby, with family-friendly attractions giving your little ones a chance to meet Peter Rabbit and his friends at Beatrix Potter's Hilltop home.
