The details
Set right on the shimmering shores of Ullswater, Lakefield Boathouse is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks. With uninterrupted 180-degree lake views, a striking glass floor revealing the boathouse below and vast walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between inside and out, this is a stay defined by drama, design and pure escapism.
At the heart of the home is the incredible open-plan Social Hub. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows and bi-fold doors flood the space with light, while plush sofas gather around a statement Lakeland stone fireplace. Step outside onto the expansive deck and you’re practically hovering above the water, coffee in hand, as the lake shifts through its morning rhythms. The kitchen is sleek and sociable, with a large island and top-end appliances, while the dining table for fourteen invites long, laughter-filled dinners and memorable celebrations together.
The house is thoughtfully laid out to offer both togetherness and privacy. Seven luxurious bedrooms are spread across three distinct areas, each beautifully designed with calm, natural textures and indulgent ensuite bathrooms. Most rooms boast lake views, allowing you to wake up to still water and distant fells, while the standout Windermere Suite offers a private annexe complete with its own living space and roof terrace. Elsewhere, a dedicated cinema room, office space and seamless smart home technology ensure every comfort is covered.
Outside, the grounds are just as impressive. Wander down to the pebbled shoreline, launch a paddleboard from the slipway or simply stretch out on the lawn beside one of the ponds. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit under a vast starry sky, the lake gently lapping nearby.
Watermillock offers a peaceful base on one of the Lake District’s most beautiful lakes. From here, you can explore Aira Force waterfall, hike the Helvellyn range or hop aboard an Ullswater Steamer for a scenic cruise. With charming villages, excellent pubs and fine dining all within easy reach, this is a setting that balances wild beauty with refined indulgence.
