For a romantic rural retreat in a location that is second to none, Fox Corner is sure to tick all your boxes. Set in the middle of the Lake District National Park, it provides the perfect base from which to explore one of England's most scenic locales. You will also be ideally situated just a short walk from Lake Windermere, and a couple of miles from the town Ambleside. And should you wish to stay put, you will have everything you need at Fox Corner. This property offers contemporary fixtures, a cosy wood burning stove, stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and its own private hot tub. Upon entering the house, you will step into the open planned living area. This gorgeous space sits beneath vaulted, timber framed ceilings and offers the perfect relaxation spot – especially for those colder evenings. A comfy two-person couch sits opposite the flat screen TV (with PS4) and a cosy wood burning stove to ensure you remain toasty all year round. The adjacent kitchen area offers modern appliances and has ample workspace. It is equipped with all necessary mod cons for cooking up a gourmet meal, and for the coffee lovers, there is even a Nespresso machine. You will also find a little dining table for two, the ideal spot for a romantic evening meal. Descend the living room's open staircase and you will find the bedroom, complete with a plush king size bed that guarantee's a comfy night's sleep. The ensuite features a WC, basin, and double cubicle walk-in shower for added convenience. Outside, the garden features a spacious, elevated decking area with sumptuous views of the surrounding countryside which can be enjoyed from the outdoor furniture or from the comfort of your own hot tub. Guests will love sharing an evening drink here, or enjoying a soak in the tub after a day out wandering the picturesque Lake District. The Lake District has long been held as one of the UK's most scenic regions and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017. This storybook mountainous region is replete with walks, cycle routes, and climbs to enjoy. Fox Corner sits just a stone's throw from Windermere, England's largest natural lake. The lake has long been a thriving holiday destination, and in the summer months one can catch a ferry to the numerous settlements on its banks. The towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere, while basically adjoined, are separate towns, both of which are thriving tourist hotspots, with cafés, bars, restaurants, and independent shops. Closer to home, the charming town of Ambleside is just a few miles north of Fox Corner and is also worth a visit.

    Upper Crumble is one of two charming cottages that have been created from the shell of a former 17th Century Grade II listed barn. This pretty and comfortable bolthole is situated near the medieval town of Cartmel in the Lake District and has its own private hot tub in the landscaped courtyard for added luxury. This marvellous cottage is ideal as a romantic retreat for couples who are looking to escape to the country. Spend your day wandering the outstanding countryside that surrounds you, then hop in your hot tub with a glass of wine and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet in style. The open plan, main living space is filled with natural light thanks to its large windows, and there’s a wood-burning stove to keep you nice and toasty in the colder months. You’ll be pleased to hear that the interior design of the cottage stays true to the local style, with whitewashed walls, rustic exposed beams and that wonderful farmhouse feel. Guests can cook up a tasty meal in the well-equipped kitchen that comes complete with a three-way microwave combination oven, in addition to a full range of similarly high-end kitchen appliances. Upper Crumble is perfectly positioned for anyone who wants to visit the exceptional countryside that the Lake District has to offer. Ramblers and outdoors enthusiasts will have plenty to see and do during the day, before relaxing in true comfort back at the cottage after a long day out and about. The topography on display in the national park is world famous and is a huge attraction for walkers and artists alike. However, there are also an increasingly varied range of additional things to do in this pretty corner of the world. Make sure you hop on a boat and enjoy seeing Windermere from the water. The nearby Cartmel is a great place for food lovers and has some excellent restaurants on offer. Simon Rogan’s two Michelin Star restaurant L’Enclume is situated there, as well as sister establishment Rogan & Co, which has just won its first Michelen star. The Cartmel Coffee is also worth a visit, before heading to the high-end artisanal Unsworth Yard market, with a micro brewery, cheese shop, and wine bar.

    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.

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.

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.
