A landscaped wellness garden sets the tone for an idyllic stay in this Bowness-on-Windermere house. There's a hot tub under an oak-framed gazebo, a barrel sauna, and an outdoor shower for post-fell cool-downs. There's also an all-weather badminton and pickleball court for family fun. Inside, a wood-burning stove warms the richly layered living room, while the a games room with a pool table earns its keep on rainy evenings. Beyond here, Bowness village and the shores of Lake Windermere are close by for hiking and adventures.

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
