Never forget a stay in this five-star Cumbrian holiday home, a Lake District retreat where luxury and comfort combine to create a truly memorable base for adventure. With Hallin Fell as its backdrop, calm Ullswater waters before you, and panoramic views across the Lake District National Park, the serenity of this property’s surroundings is simply unrivalled. Lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike to discover the scenery in every direction, tackling Helvellyn (6.5 miles), Place Fell (7 miles) and Dale Head (3 miles). Across Ullswater, accessible via the Ullswater Steamer, you’ll find the Aira Force Waterfall (9 miles), a National Trust beauty spot in the pretty Matterdale Valley. Alternatively, hike along the water’s edge to Pooley Bridge to discover country pubs in this charming Eden Valley village, or take a short drive to Penrith (9.5 miles) for busier attractions and amenities.

Designed with luxury in mind, this enviable property features four suites and generous shared spaces for relaxing together. Step inside to find a lounge with bespoke carpets underfoot and artworks adorning the walls. The lower level of this room is home to a 75" cinema-style TV with surround sound – perfect for movie nights. Stairs lead up to a mezzanine seating area, ideal for curling up with a book or enjoying a board game. A handy utility room with laundry facilities sits just off the staircase. On the ground floor, the contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a boiling water tap and coffee machine, while the adjoining dining room sets the scene for celebratory dinners around a large table. Bi-fold doors open to reveal a panoramic view of Ullswater. As evening falls, retreat to one of four luxurious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and WC. The master suite offers a spacious super-king-size bed, a luxurious bath, and stunning views. The remaining rooms are two king-sizes and one double, with one of the king-size rooms opening directly onto the ‘Yoga Terrace’ – a peaceful spot to enjoy sunrise with your morning coffee.

Step outside to make the most of awe-inspiring views from the enclosed terrace. Furnished with outdoor seating and overlooking the sweeping waters of Ullswater, it’s a sublime setting to soak up the serenity of this extraordinary location. Also outside, a private, secure gated driveway offers parking for up to four cars.
