Built in 1837, the house has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. The lake is less than 50 metre from the property boundary, so there are lake views from many rooms and from the large gardens and meadow. We have 4 luxurious double bedrooms, all ensuite, there is a beautiful kitchen and dining room, and an elegant drawing room. Close to Ambleside (centre of the Lake District), with easy access to other villages, the lakes, and the fells. On site parking. As good as it gets!

    The experience exceeded our expectations. The rooms were larger, the views better and the hosts delightful. I hope it will not be my last time there and will be sharing info on the property with friends and encouraging them to stay there.

    We had a wonderful birthday celebration with friends and family and we couldn't have picked a better location. Everything we could possibly need was in the house, the hosts are exceptionally helpful and very friendly and the views across lake Windermere were amazing. We can't recommend this proeprty highly enough and we're already saving up to come back!

    This property is OUTSTANDING. Utterly beautiful, amazing location, a real show stopper. I booked this as a surprise for my family and they were blown away. The views were just amazing and the house itself is so grand. The garden is lovely to sit out in and enjoy. There's also a fantastic walk in the woods just at the back of the property so you can get stuck in straight away without having to worry about parking. We can't wait to visit again.

    Beautiful home, decor, location and everything else. The owners were pleasant and informative. We loved the furnishings, cleanliness and amenities. This is an excellent, quiet location from which to explore the Lake District.

    The house is beautiful and very spacious. The surrounding gardens are immaculate and provide stunning views of the lake. The house is very well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed as a party of 8 adults and a baby. The location was perfect and we highly recommend Wansfell Holme for a large family stay.

    Fantastic home on the lake with gorgeous grounds and views. Plenty of rooms to spread out and have privacy yet also large family rooms for gathering together for meals and games. Hosts were excellent and very responsive with tips for local restaurants. Overall a magnificent property and we hope to return!

    I called this a home as this is how we felt staying there. The owners are lovely people who are there if you need but give you privacy. They made are Christmas. The views are stunning and the pictures are very accurate. We had from 2 to 9 adults and were great

    We had a great time, albeit very short in a beautiful property, very functional but classy and with lots of space and stunning gardens. The hosts were very friendly and had great attention to detail. Highly recommended!

    The house more than lived up to our expectations. We were a family comprising grandparents, two couples and three young children. Plenty of space for everyone and the garden was a beautiful bonus. The children enjoyed visits from Gillian’s two friendly, well trained collies!

    We had three couples stay at Windemere and had an outstanding time. The grounds, property, bedrooms, and common areas were amazing! So clean and spacious! We enjoyed the big kitchen for group meals and took numerous hikes down to the village. It was the highlight of our trip!
