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.

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....
