Downstairs offers a choice of areas in which to chill out and socialise. A large cinema room gives a cosy hunting lodge vibe with faux fur throws and wood-panelled walls, and a Smart TV and Sonos sound system make it the perfect spot to kick back and relax in the comfortable sofas or beanbags with a good film. Or relax in the welcoming lounge with its wood-burning stove and full-length glass patio doors which flood the space with light and allow breathtaking views across the lake. By day or by night this is an irresistible room. The stunningly designed kitchen and dining area is made for entertaining. With two built-in electric ovens, an electric induction hob, two integrated fridges (one with a small freezer), two dishwashers, a wine fridge and a Nespresso coffee machine, you’ll be able to prepare meals in style and serve them up at the chic 12-seater table. The bi-fold patio doors on three sides enable you to open the space right out to make you feel like you’re dining with the scenery surrounding you. A useful utility room provides two washing machines, two tumble dryers and storage alongside an extra cloakroom with a loo. There are six luxurious bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and four of which are ensuite with super stylish shower rooms. Each bedroom is sumptuously appointed with luxurious bedding and relaxing neutral tones accented with rustic wooden touches. They feature huge picture windows so that you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee in bed with views to die for. You’ll never want to get up! The ground floor bedroom is smaller than the others but it does have its own doors out to a secluded patio. Outside you will find an immaculately maintained, enclosed lawned garden. An extensive patio features a lovely outside seating area where you can appreciate the view with a chilled drink. Don’t worry if the weather lets you down, as there's also a beautifully timbered undercover seating area with a gas BBQ, external wood burner and 50” Smart TV. From the garden, you can access the sauna, steam room and gym which are cleverly built into the hillside. Here there is a handy changing room, loo and shower room. The gym is fitted with a Peloton bike, rowing machine and exercise bench. There is additional space next to the floor-to-ceiling mirrors for pilates or yoga on the matting. All you need to supply is the willpower! The bustling town of Bowness on Windermere is an easy walk away and boasts a wide variety of shops selling local produce, outdoor clothing, locally made crafts and gifts as well as a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Make your choice from five incredible log-built lodges in peaceful surroundings, each sleeping between six and ten guests. On the banks of the River Lyne, these eco-friendly cabins sit comfortably amongst nature. Each cabin is kept cosy with a combination of solar power and a wood-burning stove. The countryside setting makes them the perfect place for pets to unwind too, so it’s a real plus that dogs are welcome at each of the Hidden River Cabins. All cabins are equipped with a hot tub looking out over the river, and an outdoor seating area for dining and relaxing. There are three cabins which sleep six: Roe Deer, Otterstone and Kingfisher, which feature two double bedrooms and a sofa-bed. All have that unmistakable log cabin ambience, from the modern bathroom to the fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable living area, complete with TV and DVD. Two larger cabins, Bluebell and Foxglove, add a pair of twin rooms to the mix, making them ideal for groups of up to ten. Two of the bedrooms have a TV and these two cabins benefit from the luxury of underfloor heating. If you fancy getting social around a barbecue when the weather is fine, you can rent one for the duration of your stay at any of the cabins.

They’re all kitted out with luxury bed linens, duvets and logs for the wood burner, so all you need do is turn up and make yourself comfortable.

Exploring the best of the borders is easy, with the likes of Gretna Green, Carlisle Castle and the Solway Coast not far away. The area is great for all kinds of activities too, from paintballing to flying and 4x4 off-roading… or perhaps you would prefer the simple pleasures of walks in the woods or down by the river. Be sure to drop by the Hidden River Café too, where there is always something tasty being cooked up, whatever the time of day.
