When a home is surrounded by beautiful scenery, the interior really has to up its game in order to stand a chance of being noticed and thankfully that's the case with this address. Large floor-to-ceiling windows let in ample amounts of natural daylight, which dances pleasingly off the wooden floors. Added to that, we liked the kitchen finished in a fetching shade of purple, the cosy wood-burning stove in the living room and the smart-looking bathrooms. Combined all together, it's almost enough to distract you from the stunning view of Lake Ullswater watched over by undulating hilltops. When you're in the mood to swoon, there's a terrace complete with alfresco seating so you can dine with this sweeping panorama in front of your eyes. The property itself sits on the Ullswater Way — a walking route that goes around the water — and you can easily reach other natural landmarks on foot. Aira Force waterfall, for instance, takes just over an hour and a half.

Grass of Parnassus

Set in the Lake District, this home has been featured on the TV show Extraordinary Escapes, and we can see why. Situated on the shores of Lake Windermere, it has wonderful views and an acre of garden, as well as several balconies. There’s a terrace for dining and relaxing, as well as a jetty where you can moor a boat or kayak. The interior of this home is impressive too with its designer furniture and ski lodge feel. A home cinema and a games room with a bespoke 8-foot pool table will keep everyone entertained. And all the bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows – two also have oval baths overlooking the lake. This place has been designed with total luxury in mind.

Lakeland Retreat

It's easy to see why this stunning Georgian villa caught our eye – recently renovated, its chic interior exudes charm, garnering it plenty of attention and an appearance on national TV. We fell in love with the orangery, which is the perfect space for cooking (or having someone cook for you) and feasting. And each of the bedrooms has a unique design, adding lovely variety to your stay. The home is also an ideal base for hikers looking for an inviting homestead to return to after a ramble in the Lake District or North Pennines, while the local village houses an award-winning country pub.

The New Georgian Era

Seeking a cosy couple’s retreat with nature on your doorstep? This contemporary cottage in Ambleside more than fits the bill. From the open-plan living area, you can admire the countryside views while snuggling up in front of the wood burner. Step outside, and there’s a hot tub waiting to help you unwind – just the spot for stargazing after a busy day. If you can tear yourself away, a trip to Lake Windermere is a must, where you can while away the hours hiking the shores or on a boat cruise across the water. Pets are also welcome to tag along for a small fee, and you'll find plenty of dog walks on your doorstep.

Whistling Waters

Tucked away in the Eskdale valley, this cosy cottage has the best of the Lake District at its feet. Inside, the wooden beams, brick walls and homespun furnishings have a lasting effect. It’s a warming and tranquil place, with sofas for curling up on when it’s pouring rain and a baby grand piano for sing-songs after a glass or two of wine. You’ll find plenty of modern touches, too – the brand new kitchen makes cooking a doddle and the recently installed bathtub is a treat for ramblers’ aching muscles. Outside, a sprawling lawn complete with dining set is ideal for barbecues in the sunshine. And once you’ve filled up on Cumbrian sausages and sticky Grasmere gingerbread, follow the higgledy-piggledy dry stone walls through wild countryside to the enchanting Stanley Ghyll Waterfall or jump in the car and take the scenic twenty-five-minute drive to Wast Water, England’s deepest lake. Before you make your way home to collapse into ridiculously comfortable beds, stop off at The Boot Inn for a well-deserved drink – it’s only a minute from your doorstep.

On Water Hill

This Lake District’s bolthole is all about the romance. The Romantic poets (including Wordsworth and Coleridge) did wax lyrical about this part of the UK, after all. And we think this 500-year-old stone cottage sitting in the shadow of Scafell Pike is an ideal retreat. It is delightfully cosy, with wooden beams and exposed stonework adding character and warmth. Outside, a riverside paddock is enclosed by those old stone walls the Lake District is famous for, and you can brunch at the picnic table overlooked by the fells. The large roll-top bath is perfect to soak your aching muscles, and the rustic charm of the bedroom especially welcoming after a day of mountain climbing. There are two pubs within walking distance and nothing but untamed country walks just beyond that.

Wrynose Cottage

Dreaming of a countryside escape in the lakes? This riverside sanctuary offers a slice of peace and serenity with a real sense of privacy located amidst The Lake District National Park. Ideally positioned to discover the wide range of outdoorsy activities on offer, you'll be able to walk straight out to the endless array of nature trails and hiking routes to take in the gorgeous Lakeland scenery that surrounds you. The home itself encompasses the warmth of being so close to nature through its cosy interiors and homely features that will have you feeling refreshed and restored in no time. Snuggle up in the living area with the log burner fire on and a glass of wine in hand come evening time or drive out to discover the fabulous local restaurants and eateries available – the choice is yours. The home's protected setting and riverside location aren't the only green aspects of this property. The lodge stands proud as one of the most eco-friendly addresses in the Lakes and is designed to visually blend into the fells behind. Bringing contemporary comforts and practicality with carefully thought out architectural and interior design work, it's a truly special environment to unplug and escape from it all. 

Rivers Edge

Drystone walls snake across emerald-green fields and heather-clad hills dot the landscape of the Lake District. This old stone cottage is in the middle of it all, with walking trails across hills and fells leading right from the doorstep into the great outdoors. If you fancy heading for civilisation instead, Grasmere is a twenty-minute walk away with its selection of bars, restaurants and traditional country inns. After a day in your hiking boots, there’s nothing better than returning to the crackle of the wood-burning stove in this quaint little cottage, while admiring the timber-beamed ceiling above you. The kitchen is fully equipped to whip up any meal of the day, and there’s a bench outside for a sunny morning coffee. The real highlight here is the view. Stepping outside you’re surrounded by fields and fells, with nothing but the sound of sheep bleating in the distance and birds in the trees. Should the weather turn, you can enjoy this vista from the comfort of the living room, where a window seat makes for the ideal reading spot and underfloor heating keeps toes toasty warm.  

Fields & Fells

There aren’t many places that really embrace the away-from-it-all feel of the deepest darkest Lake District, and this one is housed on an estate once owned by the son of William Wordsworth. Fields fringed by drystone walls and hillsides dotted with sheep are home to walking and cycling trails right from your doorstep. The River Rothay flows right past the garden where fairytale-esque stepping stones connect you to the other side of the bank. Following the riverside walk, you’ll end up in the pretty village of Ambleside in twenty minutes where shops and cafés abound and watersports on Lake Windermere are on offer. The home itself is an eco getaway, housed in a circular stone building designed to blend into the fells behind it. Make the most of countryside views from the terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows. The open living room, kitchen and dining room is flooded with light during the day and the high-spec kitchen is a cook’s dream. Plus, there’s underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove to keep things cosy warm. At sundown, there’s no better place than the furnished patio for a tipple or two as the sky streaks orange and pink. 

Viewpoint

Perched on the northern edge of Lake Windermere and cradled by the picturesque Loughrigg Fell, the delightful market town of Ambleside is a fine place to base yourself to uncover the best of the Lakes. And it's where you'll find this immaculate apartment, nestled along a quiet street.

Throw off your walking paraphernalia in the inviting entrance hall and make your way upstairs to discover a contemporary retreat awaiting. Exposed slate stone and lofty gables bring all the charm, while pops of colour and rich textiles add a dash of modernity. Come together in the cosy sitting room and break out the home's games. Or take pre-dinner drinks onto the sunny outdoor terrace – the views over the higgledy-piggledy rooftops are charming.

Friends or family coming together will love the extra privacy the two ensuite bathrooms bring, with power showers ready to kick start your day. 

And you won't have far to go when it's time to soak up Ambleside's gentle hustle and bustle. You're just moments away with its many bars, restaurants, and shops, including the beloved local landmark, Zeffirellis (one minute away), for its quality pizza and pasta. 

And once you're suitably watered and fed, head for the hills for bracing walks around the spell bounding lakes – there are trails starting just an eight-minute hop, skip, and a jump away. 

The Dancing Beck

It’s the personal and thoughtful details that make a home special. And this stylish home in the Lake District has been designed to fill your stay with ease and comfort. 

Located just five–minutes from the Southern shores of Lake Windermere, it’s the perfect setting to retreat into the heart of nature. With views across leafy treetops, it’s the kind of space that feels relaxing and invigorating. And anyone looking to connect with the natural world will love this home.

Open the doors and step onto the balcony – this is a wonderful place to start your day with a coffee whilst listening to the sound of the river below. When you feel the call of adventure, take to the road – this area is filled with opportunities for hiking, cycling and ambling through lakeside towns and villages. 

Whether you’ve been climbing a mountain or kayaking along the river, you’ll love the feeling of walking into this home. Take a long soak in the bath and come together for an evening of relaxation. 

The River Blue

Steeped in Jacobean history, this farmhouse cottage is one of the Lake District's many secrets. The little village of Boot in Eskdale will have you feeling like you're stepping into scenes of your favourite period drama, with quaint rows of stone houses, the local pub, and a post office. This film-worthy setting continues right to the front door of this two-storey cottage. Before you even enter, pick apples from the garden to bake into a delicious crumble in the recently renovated kitchen — how's that for quintessential country living? Immediately, you'll melt into the rustic comforts of the cottage’s cosy living room, complete with a roasting fireplace, flagstone floors, wooden beams, and a gorgeous cupboard that was a wedding present gifted to this home's residents back in 1703. With the nearest fells just metres away, don’t forget those walking boots, which you can store in the old dairy. If you're up for a challenge, you can climb England's highest peak — Scafell Pike — in three and a quarter hours. A firm family favourite, this Lakeland legend certainly makes an unforgettable first impression.
