Built in 1936 The Boathouse offers two guests an intimate front-row seat to the Lake District
A Unique Lakeside Boathouse with Heritage and Comfort
A lakeside holiday retreat.
For all the possibilities beyond The Boathouses’ Lakeside doors are wildlife moments of Otters fishing or Cormorants diving, the guests can enjoy the Boathouse’s greatest luxury in its seclusion. It is equally suited to a short break or a milestone stay, an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday or proposal. The appeal is elemental: privacy, water and an unforgettable view through out any season with the best of the Lake District within easy reach.
Originally built for residential use in 1936, the boathouse has been carefully renovated to preserve its character while bringing in the comforts of a contemporary hideaway. Slate floors and original structural details at the time, by an awarding winning International Architect give the open-plan interior a sense of place; central heating, a log burner and a Euro king-size bed make it inviting – a place for all of the seasons.
With a compact kitchen and breakfast bar adding practicality, while the 360-degree “love seat” is positioned for slow mornings and long views across the lake.
Outside, the lake dictates the rhythm. Canoeing, sailing, paddleboarding and water-skiing are all close at hand, while the
surrounding landscape opens onto classic Lakeland walks. Shops, galleries, Inns and
restaurants can be reached on foot or by car. Ambleside or Windermere are accessible by boat or boat taxi. Farther afield, Keswick, Grasmere and Rydal make rewarding day trips.
