Uncork a bottle of wine and indulge in a well deserved drink with a seat at the elegant breakfast bar, while the designated chef utilizes the fantastic range of amenities provided to rustle up a hearty meal. Recount the day’s adventures as you tuck-in with your loved ones before moving through the property to pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak in the bathroom with a good book in hand. When sleep calls, catch your rest in one of three well-presented bedrooms, with a super-king-size benefiting from it’s own en-suite, a double bedroom (with zip/link feature) and a bunk room with a double bed and single over. This third bedroom is ideal for teenagers/children, due to the beds being 190cm in length it may be unsuitable for adults. Take a break from doing the cooking and choose to dine-out at one of the many delicious eateries resting on your doorstep; fuel the day’s excursions with a hearty breakfast at Granny Dowbekins Tearooms, or end an adventure-filled day with a crisp pint of real ale at the Crown Inn.

Spend lazy afternoons strolling along the banks of the River Eamont towards the glistening waters of lake Ullswater, where thrill-seekers can embark on a watersport adventure with expert tuition available at Ullswater Wake and Surf, or for a more peaceful experience, hire a boat and enjoy a solace float as you watch the world go by. Catch the Ullswater Steamer and cruise across the lake to the former mining village of Glenridding, popular with hikers looking to reach the summit of Helvellyn, the third-highest peak in England.
