Once the hunting lodge for the Duke of Norfolk, this home in the Cumbrian countryside has a sweeping view of Ullswater and the surrounding fells. To make the most of the vantage point, the open dining and living room is up on the top floor, so you can dine and recline with a sublime view – perfect with the wood-burner crackling away. The covered balcony was made for sunny days and the ground-floor bedrooms have French windows leading to a cobbled patio and lawn. You can walk to the edge of Ullswater, or perhaps explore the winding roads on two wheels – bicycle storage is included.

Home truths
While there is a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, the living area is on the top floor. This place may not suit those with limited mobility.
The third bedroom is a single and quite a snug spot.
The twin room can be converted into a king-sized double, just ask your host.
Your host can provide a travel cot and high chair for infants on request.
In a rural location, the wi-fi is only meant for leisure use and may not be strong enough for working remotely.
In a remote location, having a car is recommended. There is designated parking for up to two cars and storage for bicycles.

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....
