About this house rental

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!

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

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!

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 & it’s 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. Can’t wait to rebook.

10.0 / 10.0

This is an amazing, historic, upscale home in a beautiful area with spectacular views over the lake. Don’t 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. It’s 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 Rob, Mindy and Family.
