Tucked away in the Vale of Grasmere, this luxurious holiday home is perfectly located for exploring the beauty and tranquility of the Lake District. You'll have stunning views from every window with spectacular fells in all directions and the River Rothay flowing nearby. The house has been built on the footprint of a Victorian glass vine house, once part of a walled fruit and vegetable garden for the hotel nearby. Exotic grape varieties were grown here with the sun streaming through the south-facing windows of the vine house. It has now been transformed into a home, perfect for families or groups of friends looking for a quiet, luxurious retreat in the heart of the Lake District. You'll find Rowan at Grasmere at the end of a private lane with a bridge that takes you over the River Rothay. Once through the entrance gate, head up the Lakeland slate path to find the house with the rugged fells rising up behind it. There's plenty of space for your walking gear in the porch and then you can make your way through to the cosy interior. The kitchen, dining area and sun lounge are all spaces perfect for socialising. Whip up feasts using the contemporary, fully-equipped kitchen, and gather around the dining table to enjoy delicious meals together with views of the fells and crags. If you fancy eating outdoors and making the most of the scenery, step through the French doors and straight onto the south-facing terrace. After dinner, head into the comfortable and inviting living room, complete with a beautiful fireplace made of Lakeland slate and equipped with a wood-burning stove. Curl up on the sofas upholstered with Scottish Harris Tweed wool and enjoy a movie night or simply relax and unwind with a book while the fire crackles in the background. The living space also features two upholstered cushioned armchairs which can swivel so you can get comfy and take in the fell views. There are three double bedrooms, all with their own luxurious ensuite bathrooms, pocket-sprung mattresses and HD smart TVs. You'll find bathrobes and fluffy towels waiting for you on the bathroom radiators, along with underfloor heating to keep you toasty on colder days. Outside, the landscaped garden has been designed to frame the spectacular scenery. Sit out at any time of year and enjoy the inspiring view and you'll discover why this was the perfect spot for a Victorian vine house. There's plenty of outdoor furniture for relaxing and dining alfresco when the sun is shining and low level lighting creates plenty of ambiance in the evenings. The fantastic location means that you have some of the Lake District's best walks and scenic spots right at your doorstep. Whether you're a keen rambler or you'd prefer to explore some of the area's charming towns and villages, Grasmere is a great starting point. Begin with a trip into the village for a cup of tea and to try the famous Grasmere Gingerbread, then venture out to explore the breathtaking landscapes by strolling around the lake. If you're feeling adventurous, tackle a famous walk such as Helm Crag or Loughrigg Fell. Helvellyn and the Langdale mountains are also nearby for those seeking more challenging hikes and the rewards of spectacular views.

There are nine rooms to choose from, all of which have super-king size beds which can be adapted into twins as needed. The décor mixes modern elegance and luxury with the fine bedding, plush pillows and warm cosy duvets and blankets, and adds a touch of charm with the exposed beams and stone walls. Pretty art adorns the walls and the furniture is made from reclaimed wood. The rooms are large enough to lounge about in, you have a choice between classic king, deluxe king and superior king, and some of the deluxe rooms are on the ground floor for those with mobility issues. Curl up on the bed, get some snacks and pour yourself a big drink before settling in for a movie on the Smart TV which offers iPlayer, Netflix and much more. In the morning you'll be delighted by the fabulous ensuite bathroom with its white brick tiled walls and pretty detailed floor tiles.

Cockermouth is one of only 51 towns in Britain designated as a 'Gem' town, and you'll be a short drive away from some beautiful serene lakes and mountains. Derwentwater Pier is particularly lovely and you'll want to take some photos there. Allonby Beach is also a must visit and the hosts recommend you stop by The Lakes Distillery for a tasting. They also have a lovely bistro and the setting is a former Victorian farmstead’s cattle parlour. If you fancy a pint the town is famous for its Jenning's Brewery where you can also enjoy a tour and sample of their beers. Tilia, next door to the hotel has a lovely menu and when you're done exploring you can head back to Tithe Barn Hotel and head down to the Tithe Tap, a hidden speakeasy and gin bar offering decadent cocktails and delicious charcuterie boards.

Enjoy a long, lazy supper at the unique marble dining table which seats four.

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.
