Luxurious period house on the shores of Lake Windermere
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 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 Gillianâs 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!
This exceeded all our expectations, a stunningly beautiful period home, we all completely fell in love with it! Perfect location with stunning views from every window. Very well equipped & absolutley immaculate. Gillian & David were so welcoming! We honestly couldnât have wished for a more wonderful stay, we already cannot wait to return!
Fantastic snowy weekend at the Lake House , beautiful location , friendly and helpful hosts . Extra little treats left for us. Would return in a heartbeat!

Beyond all expectations, beautiful property, immaculate yet so, so comfortable.
Fabulous kitchen / dinning room. Lounge with views to die for.
Many many thanks,
The Fenton family
This is a perfect holiday home. A stylishly decorated, spacious well equipped house with stunning, uninterrupted lake views. Gillian is a great host and answered any queries we had very quickly. We were made to feel very welcome. EV charging on site was really useful & itâs only a 10 minute walk into Ambleside. There are hill walks possible directly from the house. We loved it.
The house was amazing with enviable views across Windermere. Total luxury. We all really enjoyed the stay. Very close to Ambleside and local amenities. Canât wait to rebook.
This is an amazing, historic, upscale home in a beautiful area with spectacular views over the lake. Donât even bother looking at any other homes if this is available. The gardens are a delight and the home is perfect in every way. David and Gillian were lovely and were extremely responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay. PS: A must hike if you like hiking is the trek up Wansfell Pike, then down the other side through Troutbeck, where tea and scones at the old Post Office are a must, then down Robin Lane as it meanders back to the home. Itâs about a 4-5 hour hike and is quite steep going up to Wansfell Pike, but soft and easy after that. Pick it up in the center of Ambleside just to the right of the waterfalls. And, if you like vegetarian/vegan, Fellinis is as good as it gets.
We hope you enjoy everything about this home and this area as we did. M

This is an amazing place for my family to spend our Easter weekend. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.
The property fulfilled all my requirements for space, amazing views, peace and tranquillity for a memorable Easter get together with eight members of my family members. The icing on the cake was that we had good weather throughout the Easter weekend, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden and walks in the surrounding areas, including a visit to the nearby National Trust park.
We will most certainly come back to the property in the future. Gillian was a wonderful host and did everything possible to make us all feel welcome. I particularly commend her for her efforts to swiftly restore the internet connection when WiFi system went done
Thx for your hospitality.
This is an absolutely fantastic place to stay. House is absolutely beautiful, nicely furnished and with plenty of space. Fantastic views over the lake. Its also very quiet.
Its in a great location by the lake and very easy to find. the owners provided good instructions ahead of arrival. Parking available for 3 to 4 cars.
I wouldnt hesitate to book again.
This property has wonderful views over lake Windemere with its ever changing landscape. Beautiful, clean accommodation with large rooms. The en-suites to every bedroom are great, along with a well equipped kitchen and large lounge and dining room for gatherings. The large garden is ideal for outdoor bbqs and admiring the views. Everything is provided in the house for you to enjoy an excellent stay. The hosts are lovely and in hand with lots of local information and tips. Local walks on hand. We would love to return.
We stayed here to celebrate a 60th birthday. The house was beautiful and set in a perfect location. The hosts were welcoming, attentive and even arranged for us to stay an additional night as we had enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be staying again in the future.
The house and view were beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. Had a great time here. Hosts were quite standoffish at the end but I think we were a more boisterous group than they were expecting.
Couldn't recommend this place enough. Gillian and her partner are incredible. The property is beyong words, and tastefully decorated. Location is superb. Kitchen and Baths are all top notch. We spent a week here with friends whilst running the Lakeland 50, and will happily book here again.
