With the crisp fresh air, the abundant nature, and the endless walking trails, there's nothing quite like staying in the Lake District. And in this duplex apartment, you get to experience the very best of it. The home is cosy, warm, and inviting, with low-toned neutral shades and sleek, contemporary furniture. It's the perfect setting for a group of friends or family to enjoy a relaxing countryside getaway. Mornings here are particularly lovely. Your super comfy bed will be hard to get out of, but the sunshine peeking in through the curtains will encourage you to get up. Enjoy a fresh coffee out on the patio, listening to the chirps of the birds and feeling the warm morning sun on your face. The early sunlight floods in through the patio doors, so even if it isn't quite warm enough to sit outside, your mornings will be blissful. If you love the great outdoors, there are few places to enjoy its wildness and beauty than the Lake District. There are countless walking and cycling trails, and you're just five minutes from the shores of Lake Windermere. There's storage here if you'd like to bring your own bikes, or there's a place to hire them just a ten-minute drive away. After a long day of hiking, cycling, and exploring, nothing tastes quite as good as that first sip of a drink. Luckily, you're just a ten-minute from your local pub in the quiet village of Backbarrow.

Local guide


About The Lake District

Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
