The details
Perched above the shores of Windermere with uninterrupted panoramic views across England's largest lake, Post Knott Lodge is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression from the moment you arrive. Built into the hillside to make the most of its spectacular setting, this remarkable retreat combines contemporary architecture with five-star luxury, offering an unforgettable escape for families, friends and special celebrations. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with light while framing the ever-changing lake views, and a private wellness suite complete with a sauna, steam room and fully equipped gym takes your stay to another level.
Sleeping up to 12 guests across six beautifully appointed bedrooms, the lodge has been thoughtfully designed to offer both sociable gathering spaces and peaceful corners to unwind. Each bedroom features a luxurious super-king size zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as twins on request, making the property wonderfully flexible for groups. The magnificent master suite enjoys a Juliet balcony overlooking Windermere, a spacious dressing room and a stylish ensuite, while several of the other bedrooms also wake up to breathtaking lake views. With five bathrooms plus an additional cloakroom, everyone has plenty of space to relax in comfort.
The heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan living area. The sleek kitchen is equipped with everything needed for memorable feasts, including two ovens, two dishwashers, two built-in fridges with a freezer section, a wine fridge and coffee machine. Gather around the large dining table for celebratory meals before sinking into the inviting sitting room beside the wood burner. For film nights, the dedicated cinema room offers plush seating, Smart TVs with NOW TV and Sonos sound systems, creating the perfect setting for evenings together.
Outside, the entertaining continues. Throw open the bi-fold doors and dine alfresco on the spacious terrace while soaking up the incredible views across the lake. The covered outdoor lounge is a true highlight, featuring comfortable seating, a gas BBQ, outdoor wood burner and large Smart TV, making it just as enjoyable after sunset as it is on sunny afternoons. Meanwhile, tucked into the hillside, the private wellness suite offers a sauna, steam room, shower facilities and a superb gym complete with a Peloton bike, rowing machine, weights and space for yoga or Pilates.
Despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, Post Knott Lodge is just a short stroll from the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere.
