This gorgeous converted barn for two is spacious, luxurious and utterly charming. With Scandinavian style open plan living, wonderful attention to detail and a beguiling garden with riverside seating, it's the perfect escape for couples seeking a peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings.

The open plan living area is a great place to drop your bags and pour a celebratory welcome drink. The room is flooded with light thanks to the floor to ceiling gable end bi-fold doors, and as you settle in you can enjoy the view of the stunning garden and river. A cosy corner sofa, deep leather armchair, fluffy rug, stylish art and toasty wood burner make this space feel like home from home. Settle in and watch a movie or just relax with snacks and drinks and marvel at your surroundings.

The kitchen is sleek, modern, stylish and fully equipped for cooking romantic meals for two to be enjoyed at the dining table by the riverside window. On warm evenings the stable door leads straight out onto the alfresco dining patio where you can while away the evening by candlelight. After dinner you might like to take your coffee down to the bench by the river and stargaze before bed.

When it's time to sleep, the luxurious bedroom offers everything you could need for a restful night. High quality Egyptian linens and plush pillows will envelope you and when you wake you can laze in bed with the built-in surround sound Sonos and Sky TV to entertain you.

Rise in the morning and refresh yourself in the fabulous concrete ensuite beneath the rainfall shower, whilst your towel and robe keep warm and fluffy on the heated towel rails. Underfloor heating will take care of your toes!

Head to the kitchen for the first cup of coffee and if the weather is clement stroll down to the bench by the river and sit in peaceful tranquility with the sun on your face. The patio is perfect for alfresco dining and if its a little chilly you can light the outdoor wood burner and settle at the big table under cover in great comfort.

When it's time to explore there are plenty of lovely pubs within walking distance including the award-winning Mason Arms at Strawberry Bank, only 400m away, and the cosy Hare & Hounds only 150m away! Fine dining can be enjoyed at Simon Rogan's iconic 'L'Enclume' or the Gilpin Spice (you may have seen it on the 'Great British Menu' TV show).

For days out you can hire a boat (rowing or power) and explore the lake. Or simply take a cruise on one of the elegant Lake Windermere Steamers, a charming way to see the area.

    • 3 nights Min Stay

    Tucked away down a private lane, hidden by trees and sitting on the lakeside, Far Boathouse is an idyllic hideaway perfect for a romantic couple who love the water. Unlike many boathouses this one has the luxury of being on the larger side and is rather luxurious. Dispense with your coats in the hallway and make your way in to the cosy open plan living area. The first thing that will strike you is the view. A large, plump comfy sofa and armchair sit facing bi-folding glass doors providing an uninterrupted view of the beautiful lake with the Cumbrian hills framing it in the distance. You might want to just crack open a bottle, turn on the pretty electric fire and settle in to watch the sky change over the water. The interior has been thoughtfully decorated to provide a cosy nook with everything you could need to burrow in and leave the world behind. The kitchen is fully equipped for the creation of wonderful feasts and the hosts have kindly provided a wine cooler to keep things extra civilised. Enjoy a long, lazy supper at the unique marble dining table which seats four. Afterwards you can snuggle up and watch a movie, perhaps crack open the monopoly, chess or dominoes, or maybe just get back to that view. You'll sleep deeply and peacefully in the comfortable king size bed with luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding and in the morning you can watch the news from the comfort of your duvet on the Sony TV. The bathroom has a unique driftwood style and a double sized shower with plenty of hot water where you can make use of all the complimentary toiletries before wrapping yourself up in a big fluffy bathrobe and heading into the kitchen for coffee. Open the balcony door and step out on to the fabulous decked balcony, settle at the table and enjoy your breakfast as the sail boats glide by. The boathouse comes with private mooring so you can hire a kayak, canoe or boat from a nearby supplier and they will deliver and collect it for you. What a wonderful way to start the day, gliding along on the water with a flask of coffee and your camera to hand. Situated just three miles from Pooley Bridge where you'll find three very welcoming pubs and the fabulous Chestnut House which has a “gin wall’ of over 400 different gins, as well as lots of other spirits, liqueurs, beers and local produce. Perfect if you want to pick up a gift or two! If you're in the market for some fine dining make reservations at 1863, an award-winning restaurant which offers a seven-course tasting menu. For independent shops, plenty of great eateries, head over to nearby Penrith and submerge yourself in the foodie culture. There's also a great farmer's market where you can stock up on local goodies. Whether you choose to have a picnic by the lake or head back to your retreat and watch the stars from the comfort of your lakeside balcony, you'll never want to leave this wonderful boathouse.
