Living Spaces
The lovely shape of the Drawing Room allows for sofas, armchairs and footstools to fall into casual and homely groupings. It has a nice feel and purpose without feeling designed. It’s beautifully light with pastel walls and floor-length windows on two sides and views to the lake. Perfect for daytime planning and evening socialising.
Perfect for relaxing, the Library is comfortable and casual and doubles as a leisure room with a card table set up for backgammon and board games in the dresser. It’s a lovely light room that catches the morning sun and has plenty of armchairs and large sofas to enjoy the views over the gardens to the lake.
Fully equipped would be an understatement for a luxury Kitchen that includes beautiful handmade cupboards, marble worktops, a glass washer as well as two dishwashers, conventional and steam ovens, conventional and induction hobs, remote-controlled extractor fan, two fridge-freezers, masses of glasses, crockery and cutlery, and plenty of spares in the larder area below the kitchen. One long table comfortably seats 18 guests for relaxed conversation. And glass doors and amazing views over the gardens to the lake. It’s a dream.
Cooking & Dining
The kitchen at Lakeside House is breathtaking, with floor to ceiling windows opening out to an ever changing view of the lake. In contrast the Dining Room is a grand affair, perfect for a big celebration – or supper of fish fresh from the lake.
We also know that part of the pleasure of being away from home is to take a break from domestic routine. So we have a list of superb professional chefs and catering companies who we can put you in touch with to prepare and serve a delicious menu to suit you.
Bedrooms
There are eight bedrooms in the main house and a further bedroom in Coachman’s Cottage close by. All the bedrooms are ensuite and each bedroom has something special about it.
The bedrooms are light and spacious with views to the lake or mature woodland. Every ensuite bathroom is beautifully finished, and many have a walk-in shower as well as a bath. Almost every bed is super king size, with some rooms having the option of twin beds instead, and all are superbly comfortable with quality bedding. Furnishings are smart and luxurious country house chic.
What people say
Big adventures under big skies.
See your itinerary through the window pane. The ever changing lake. The long walks under big skies, the chugging steamers, the abseiling, the climbing and the mountain biking. Go Ape! at Grizedale then finish with a fireside nightcap.
