Is there anything better than finishing a countryside walk and sinking into a comfy pub armchair for a pint? This apartment is perfectly placed for just that, as it’s above the village pub. You’ll be in the village of Baycliff, just a ten-minute drive from the market town of Ulverston and with views of Morecambe Bay just two minutes away. The location on the scenic coast road makes it the perfect base for exploring the Southern Lakes. And when you’re not out and about, you’ll have a fuss-free home to return to. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need during your stay.

Paid Parking On Street

Once a shoe shop, this home has been converted into an excellent two-story apartment. It’s in the heart of Ulverston so you can easily explore the Lake District and Cumbria. Keen hikers might want to tackle Scafell Pike, which is less than an hour away, and Lake Windermere can be reached in half an hour. The apartment is a fuss-free base, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable break. There’s a petite desk for those needing to work during their stay. 

The Cobbler's House

This cosy apartment is located in the heart of vibrant Ulverston. From here, you can easily explore the beautiful Lake District – Lake Windermere is around thirty minutes away by car. Hikers will have plenty to keep them entertained, too, with Scafell Pike under an hour away. The apartment, which is spread over two floors, was once a shoe shop. Now it’s a comfortable and welcoming home-from-home, equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing break.

In a charming spot in a tiny village on the little River Eea, this cosy home is a mix of character features and modern comforts. Overlooking the river, with an unusual layout and plenty of space, it's a great choice for a family but would just as readily suit a group of friends.

Having recently been renovated, there's no chintz here – instead, crisp white walls and wood floors are the order of the day. The living room and dining area have been thoughtfully popped up on the first floor, to take advantage of the views, and the vaulted ceiling has created space for a secret seating spot (the kids will consider this a den).

There's a cute log burner for cosy stays no matter the season and a suntrap rear garden that's perfect for breakfast on summer mornings. Set out on walks from your doorstep, drive to the nearby coast or visit Lake Windermere, just around fifteen miles away. And best of all, there are a couple of pubs to choose from within the village.

This detached barn conversion is located in a quiet hamlet and offers panoramic views over the Cumbrian countryside. Outside, there’s a decked area for lunches in the sunshine and an enclosed garden for four-legged friends. Inside, the living area is kept warm with a wood-burning stove. If we had to be picky, we’d say the bathroom could do with a refresh, though it functions fine. The Cambrian Way passes by the front of the home, making the place ideal for walkers. Plus, the bustling market town of Ulverston, which holds a twice-weekly market, is a ten-minute drive away.

This cosy little cottage, complete with quintessential Aga and woodburner, is located in the centre of the popular market town of Ulverston. You can access the back garden from the first floor to enjoy a barbecue, or light the fireplace when it’s a little chilly and snuggle up in front of your favourite Netflix show. There are plenty of great pubs and restaurants right on your doorstep and for those nature fanatics you are spoilt for choice in the gorgeous Lake District.

Tucked away in the bustling market town of Ulverston, this home offers easy access to the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coast. While the town isn't much of a tourist attraction, step out, and you'll find yourself yards from its cobbled high street, with a butcher, a baker, and a greengrocer (no candlestick maker, unfortunately) within 100 yards of the front door. Given the region's changeable weather, the proximity of the art deco Roxy cinema is bound to be a bonus. Alternatively, seek out scene-stealing natural beauty 9 miles away at Coniston Water or Windermere. Meanwhile, Scafell Pike offers a challenging uphill hike, around an hour from home.

Fenced Property

Standing proudly at the heart of South Walney Nature Reserve, quietly watching over the wildlife that calls this stunning landscape home, this beautiful lighthouse really is the perfect escape. With four bedrooms stretched across the main cottage and the single-level annexe, there’s space for all the family to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings in an elegant, welcoming home. 

Settle down in your living room, take a peek through your binoculars and relish the wildlife that’s brought into focus. This area is a haven for a diverse range of birds, and at high tide, you may even be lucky enough to spot a grey seal frolicking in the ocean. It’s easy to pass countless hours completely lost in the nature that surrounds you, particularly in winter months with the wood burner warming you and casting an amber glow across the room for added cosiness. 
With peace, quiet, and views that you’ll never tire of, is there anywhere else you’d rather be?

If the call of the wild is too strong to ignore, pull on your hiking boots and walk the various trails across the dunes to immerse yourself in nature further. After an exhilarating day in the great outdoors, return home to your little slice of tranquillity to enjoy a delicious dinner with loved ones. With memories being created every second you’re in this home, you may find you never want to leave.

With an elevated position, this apartment has wonderful views over the golf course and Morecambe Bay. The home is housed in a historic building dating from 1897, so as you'd expect, this home has character features such as double-height vaulted ceilings. We love the mezzanine games room with its pool table, and there's plenty of room to entertain your family and friends. There's a claw-footed bath in the main bedroom's en-suite, too, perfect for a soak after a stroll around the estate's 4 acres of grounds. There's also a shared barbecue area with tables and chairs – ideal for warm summer evenings. Other attractions nearby include the Brown Robin Nature Reserve and the town of Grange-over-Sands.

Morecambe Bay View

Home Cinema Setup

Wellness & Fitness

This home is a superb base for a family wanting to explore the Lake District while staying in style. It’s been lovingly renovated and redecorated, shaped into a calming, welcoming home-from-home. It has the feel of a traditional cosy cottage but all the modern amenities you might want for a stress-free stay. There’s a patio outside and a home cinema, so little ones will be happy. We think grown-ups will enjoy the elegant kitchen and dining space, as well as the deep bathtub – perfect after a day of hiking. The home is in the quaint village of Newton-in-Cartmel, surrounded by rolling hills and scenic countryside. What more could you hope for? 


Lakeside Charm

This home really is one of a kind. Ideal for nature lovers, this cottage stands beside a lighthouse in the heart of the South Walney Nature Reserve at the southern tip of Cumbria. Staying here, you’re surrounded by wildlife, with sea views as well as those of the nature reserve. At high tide, you may spot grey seals bobbing off the coast. Using the handy bird-watching guidebooks and binoculars at the cottage, you’ll have the chance to spot birds like willow warblers, sandwich terns and eider ducks.

The cottage has a cosy, contemporary feel. Everything you need for your stay has been thought of, so you can focus on relaxing and making the most of your unique home-from-home. We love the log burner – after a day spent out in the fresh air, it’s lovely to curl up beside the fire with a glass of wine. You don’t even need to leave the cottage to enjoy the setting, as the views are incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset.  


Keeping The Light

The South Walney Nature Reserve, with its wild, rugged scenery and rolling dunes, is the perfect setting for a remote retreat. And nestled at the foot of its lighthouse, this little home welcomes you to cuddle up, get cosy and experience the rejuvenating spirit of the Cumbrian countryside. 

Stepping inside, you’ll find the living room creates an instant sense of welcome, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything you could need to enjoy the comfort of home cooking. And with views across the dunes, you could spend hours here gazing at the scenery and enjoying the simple pleasure of relaxing by the fire. However, should you feel the call to put on your hiking boots and adventure outside, you won’t be disappointed. 

Follow one of the trails across the dunes, listen to the sound of the birds, look out for Grey seals and witness incredible sunsets. However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of this unique location. 

Follow the Light

Paid Parking On Premises

Balcony / Patio

With the crisp fresh air, the abundant nature, and the endless walking trails, there's nothing quite like staying in the Lake District. And in this duplex apartment, you get to experience the very best of it. The home is cosy, warm, and inviting, with low-toned neutral shades and sleek, contemporary furniture. It's the perfect setting for a group of friends or family to enjoy a relaxing countryside getaway. 

Mornings here are particularly lovely. Your super comfy bed will be hard to get out of, but the sunshine peeking in through the curtains will encourage you to get up. Enjoy a fresh coffee out on the patio, listening to the chirps of the birds and feeling the warm morning sun on your face. The early sunlight floods in through the patio doors, so even if it isn't quite warm enough to sit outside, your mornings will be blissful. 

If you love the great outdoors, there are few places to enjoy its wildness and beauty than the Lake District. There are countless walking and cycling trails, and you're just five minutes from the shores of Lake Windermere. There's storage here if you'd like to bring your own bikes, or there's a place to hire them just a ten-minute drive away. After a long day of hiking, cycling, and exploring, nothing tastes quite as good as that first sip of a drink. Luckily, you're just a ten-minute from your local pub in the quiet village of Backbarrow.

Situated at the southern end of Coniston Water, the fifth largest of the lakes, this barn conversion blends contemporary comfort with period details. The farm is believed to date back to the 17th century, and the surrounding landscape hasn't changed much in all that time. Lace up your hiking boots and follow any number of footpaths that pass right by the front door. Lake Bank pier is just ten minutes on foot and is perfect for summer swims, canoe launches and paddle boarding.  Alternatively, head north to Coniston Boating Centre for boat hire and trips on the beautifully restored Victorian steam-powered Gondola.

Village life is on your doorstep at this pet-friendly apartment in pretty Backbarrow. Set on the second and third floors of a modern apartment building, while there’s no garden to speak of, the snug balcony with river views is a lovely touch. An excellent option for families looking to explore the Lake District, take your pick from the countless walking and cycling routes nearby. Or hop in the car to Lake Windermere (two miles) or Coniston Water (ten miles) – getting out and about is a cinch with two off-road parking spaces. But if the weather doesn’t buck up, there are board games, a Playstation and Netflix here to amuse the kids (and the young at heart).

Overlooking the calm estuaries of Morecambe Bay, this spectacular home boasts a litany of activities and an unbeatable location. The interiors are decorated in classic English style, with duck egg blue kitchen cupboards, grand fireplaces, and antique wooden furniture. Kids and grown ups alike will be in heaven here – on sunny days there’s a plethora of garden games, from giant Connect 4 and a garden chess set, to a pair of swings and a slide. Get everyone involved in a ping pong tournament, shoot goals in the netball hoop, or play a spot of badminton before firing up the two barbecues and enjoying an alfresco lunch on the deck. When it rains, fear not. Retreat to the games room for a round of pool, or curl up with a book in the plush sitting room while the kids play on the PS4. Your hosts pride themselves on their eco credentials – the underfloor heating is through a renewable ground source, and there’s a solar array on the roof providing the electricity.

Grange-over-Sands is a peaceful seaside town with elegant Edwardian architecture. The house is 150 metres from the Main Street, and within easy walking distance of a supermarket, local cafés, and some excellent takeaway restaurants. On sunny days, stroll along the banks of the estuary or walk seven minutes to the Ornamental Gardens for a picnic. The Lakes are easily accessible from the house – the southern end of Lake Windermere is fourteen minutes away by car, where you can practise a variety of watersports. On race days, drive eight minutes to the lively Cartmel Racecourse, and visit one of the top class restaurants in the town afterwards. Or head home and take advantage of the electric pizza oven for a pizza night on the verandah. There’s endless fun to be had here – we just hope you can squeeze it all in!

The English Gambit

Unwind and release yourself from the daily grind in this cosy apartment in the Lake District. Kitted out with everything you need to make the most of your time in the great outdoors, including a bath to relax those sore legs, bike storage, and a beautiful view to take in your surroundings, it's perfect for a getaway in the Lakes.

With an open space that's ideal for socialising, this is an ideal home for a group of friends or family. The little ones will particularly enjoy the steam train that passes by every day on the Haverthwaite Railway, and you're just steps away from the River Leven.

Although the interior is sleek and contemporary, this home embraces its natural surroundings and community spirit, with ethical, sustainable toiletries made by a local brand and ground coffee supplied by a local family roaster. This spirit is alive both in the home and in the many beautiful villages that surround Lake Windermere's southern end. One such place is Lakeside, a seven-minute drive away, a small, quaint village surrounded by forestry. You can also easily get to the towns of Bowness, Cartmel, and Grange-over-Sands in under twenty minutes by car,  all with access to Lake Windermere. Wherever you go, you'll get the crisp fresh air, friendly locals, and incredible natural beauty that you've been craving. 

Whether you're just exploring the towns or if you hop onto one of the many hiking and cycling trails, you'll love coming home to your pristine apartment. Relax on the balcony, enjoying a nice cold beer or glass of wine, or maybe take a stroll along the nearby river, before getting started on a family feast in the well-equipped kitchen.

Riverside Retreat

Lift Access

Escape to this apartment housed in a grand building built in 1897. The views over the golf course and Morecambe Bay are beautiful. Relax with the whole family in the open-plan living space and create some home-cooked meals in the modern kitchen. Or head outside, where you’ll find a communal seating and barbecue area, again with wonderful vistas. After lunch, go for a stroll around the estate's 4 acres of grounds or visit the pretty town of Grange-over-Sands.

Bay Vistas

This charming holiday home is located in the small village of Staveley-in-Cartmel in the Lake District National Park. You can set off on beautiful walks straight from the front door – Windermere is only a five-minute walk away. The characterful cottage has original features and is equipped with everything you might need for a cosy break in the Lakes. The small front garden boasts wonderful views of the surrounding fields and countryside and is a splendid spot for a post-hike drink. 

A Cosy Outlook

Shared Pool

Once the dwelling of the estate's groundskeeper, this Lake District property has been refurbished to become a contemporary countryside getaway.

Inside, the design could definitely be described as minimalist, with walls painted in soothing whites adorned only by a few well-chosen pieces of artwork, a sleek kitchen and a preference for simple wooden furnishings. The wood-burning fireplace situated in an archway between the living room and dining area is sure to keep the whole ground floor warm and toasty.

But what about during those balmy months in which a roaring fire isn't necessary? The alfresco dining table on the terrace is sure to see some use during this time, as is the barbecue. You'll probably want to work up an appetite first, however, and there's an onsite heated swimming pool and an activity centre offering everything from watersports, 4x4 off-road driving, clay pigeon shooting, archery, axe-throwing or bushcraft.

If you're after something a little more sedate, there are plenty of walking routes that start from the site, including one to the cute village of Hawkshead about ninety minutes away on foot.



The Keeper

Seamlessly blending traditional and modern, this rural farmhouse is a true escape from it all. Tailor-made for socialising, we love the open-concept kitchen and dining areas making up the heart of the home, where in winter, you can soak up the warmth of the wood burner or in summer months, spill out onto the terrace. Locally, you’re just a short distance from the vibrant market towns of Clitheroe and Settle, while walkers and cyclers alike will adore Gisburn Forest, a mere five-minute drive away. 

A Serene Soul

At Ullswater Lake, the second biggest in the Lake District, you’ll find a diverse range of landscapes and activities as you hike around its enormous perimeter. From the quaint village of Pooley Bridge, with traditional pubs and cute restaurants, take a fourteen-minute stroll to reach an altogether different scene – an isolated, romantic boathouse. As you arrive, its stone walls and wooden balcony look gloriously rustic. You could even plan to arrive by boat and pull up to the private jetty. From every angle, the surroundings of this home are striking – leafy trees, the glistening lake, and rolling mountains across the water make this setting feel quite special. Inside, the traditional theme continues with chunky beams and vintage furniture. We love the glossy, lacquered wooden pieces in the lounge, as well as the understated chandelier bringing a romantic glow in the evening. Take a look around while you wait for the wood-burning stove to heat up – the bedroom is quite magnificent. A luxurious cushioned headboard, freestanding copper bathtub, and private balcony set over the water are just a few of the fabulous features. Wrap up in your fluffy bathrobes and settle into lakeside living.

Dukes & Duchesses

At the end of a quiet lane in the bucolic Lancashire countryside, this former stables building is a modern yet cosy escape for a couple or small family. After a soundless sleep in the sumptuous beds, rustle up a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen then feast together around the solid oak dining table. If it’s grey out, throw a couple of logs in the wood-burning stove and curl up on the sofa with a crossword puzzle. But should the sun make an appearance, pull on your hiking shoes and follow one of the nearby footpaths to the Mellor Millennium Viewpoint for far-reaching views across the landscape. 

Ramble through the Forest of Bowland Area of Natural Beauty, a thirty-minute drive away, or head into the market town of Clitheroe for a peep around the Castle and Museum followed by a well-deserved cup of Earl Grey in a quaint tearoom.  

Blue Skies Up Ahead

Some of the Lake District’s most striking scenery can be found at Ullswater, with its mountainous landscape and unusual z-shaped, ‘ribbon lake’, which is the second largest in the region. But even better than simply visiting this beautiful spot, you can see it all from the windows of this lakeside home. Although it’s just a five-minute drive from the quaint town of Pooley Bridge, this home feels truly rural and isolated. Park up the 4x4 in the gravel drive and head into this warm and welcoming abode. Light up the wood-burning stove in the plush lounge, with its horseshoe sofa that can fit the entire family. Or you can even have your own private hideaway in the second sitting room, with yet another fireplace – this time a sleek, modern hearth set into the wall. For balmy English evenings, another space can be found outdoors, with your very own patio complete with comfy garden furniture. Alfresco drinking and dining will certainly be on the cards out here. While you can see the water from the comfort of your own home, it’s just a seven-minute walk down to Ullswater Marina.

We dare you to find a traditional Yorkshire Dales cottage more charming than this, folks. Tucked away on the edge of a pretty green in the hamlet of Newby and close to the conservation village of Clapham, the setting is idyllic. Mooch along to the café down the road for hearty breakfasts, or a smidge further, into Clapham (four-minute drive or half-an-hour stroll) with its cheese shop (this is Wensleydale territory), delightful independent gift shops, and a traditional pub for real ale and a warm welcome.  

When it’s time to dive into the great outdoors, you’re right beneath Ingleborough, one of the famous Three Peaks. Follow the countless bridle paths just moments away, leading to lakeside nature trails, mature woodlands, spectacular limestone caves, and eventually, the summit of Ingleborough.

When it’s time to come back down to earth, this elegant home with a pedigree going way back to 1620 delivers all the cottage feels with flagged stone floors, exposed beams, and quirky little nooks. Friends sharing will love how spaced out the bedrooms feel, each on their own floor. And though there’s no enclosed garden to speak of, the lawned sitting-out area at the front of the home is perfect for evening summer drinks as you watch the lambs and ducks waddle by across the green. In winter months, take things indoors to hunker down for cosy film nights –⁠ the wood is stacked by the stove and Netflix is at the ready.

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

A peaceful retreat in the Lake District, this home is perfect for those looking for a relaxing break close to the Great Outdoors. The apartment is in Staveley, a short drive from Kendal and Windermere, and in a great location for hiking and cycling trails. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need for a fuss-free stay, and even boasts a private patio that looks out over the River Gowan. Nearby, you’ll have traditional pubs, cafes, and independent shops – what more could you ask for?

Bobbins & Threads

This warm and inviting home is in the grounds of the old vicarage estate, having originally been the stables. It’s nestled in the heart of the Lake District, between Lake Windermere and Esthwaite. The home boasts beautiful views down the valley towards Sawrey, Grizedale Forest, and the Old Man of Coniston. It’s just a short walk from Hill Top, Beatrix Potter’s home, and is surrounded by a wild meadow planted with fruit and nut tree orchards – this is certainly a picturesque spot for a romantic escape. We love the freestanding bathtub and the wood-burning stove of this comfortable, cosy home-from-home.

Walking in the Rain

From this spot on the western edge of Windermere, you'll be able to enjoy the whole of the Graythwaite Estate – covering 5000 lakeside acres. Spend your days walking the many trails, soaking up the natural landscape, or pop along to the estate's on-site activity centre, where you can book anything from paddleboarding to a 4X4 adventure. And for lunch, head to the nearby villages of Hawkshead, Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey – all bursting with eateries and attractions – or take the ferry across to Bowness. Back at home, relax in the bright and homely living space, with modern grey and white furnishings and a cosy log burner for warming the toes in the chilly winter months. To make the most of the lake views, you'll find the accommodation is upside down, with the bedrooms on the ground floor. And, if you're lucky with the weather, you'll have your own terrace with stunning views across the water. Imagine sitting out there, cradling a hard-earned cup of tea after a long walk. And for added luxury, book a slot at the estate's indoor swimming pool.


The Grassholme

Parking On Street

Warm and inviting, this home is perfect for families and groups of friends. It’s located just outside of Windermere, a mere ten-minute walk from the shops, restaurants, and pubs. There are plenty of parks to explore, in addition to the lake – will you hike around it or enjoy a spot of boating? The home itself is cosy and comfortable, with a log burner for chilly weather and an attractive patio garden for warmer days.
