Turner House

Set on its own picturesque island on the beautiful Hermitage Estate in Lancashire, Turner House is an extraordinary escape where luxury, nature and space combine to create a truly memorable stay. Surrounded by the tranquil waters of the River Lune, with charming Otter Island visible from many rooms, this remarkable property offers a sense of total seclusion while remaining within easy reach of the Lake District and the historic city of Lancaster.

Inside, the house is designed for relaxing, celebrating and spending quality time together. A superb games room greets you on arrival, complete with snooker, air hockey and retro arcade games, making it the perfect spot for friendly competition. When you’re ready to unwind, head outside to soak in the bubbling hot tub or enjoy a rejuvenating moment in the sauna while overlooking the calming riverside scenery.

The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen and dining area where the group’s chef can cook up feasts using the modern appliances, including an electric oven and induction hob. Gather around the dining table to enjoy long, laughter-filled meals before retreating to one of the two inviting sitting rooms. Downstairs you’ll find plush sofas and a large TV for cosy evenings, while upstairs a stylish lounge with a balcony and woodburning stove provides a wonderful place to unwind with a drink and admire the peaceful surroundings.

Turner House comfortably sleeps up to ten guests across four beautifully arranged bedrooms. The luxurious master bedroom features a king size bed, dressing room, office space, ensuite bathroom and a private balcony that’s perfect for morning coffee with a view. There’s also a ground floor double room, a twin with its own ensuite and a spacious family room with four single beds that’s ideal for children or larger groups.

Outside, the expansive gardens are just as impressive. Fire up the barbecue for alfresco dining, challenge your friends to a game of outdoor chess or stroll along the riverbank where you might spot local wildlife. Guests even have fishing rights on the surrounding waters, offering a wonderfully peaceful way to spend an afternoon.

When you’re ready to explore, the surrounding area offers plenty to see and do. Visit historic Lancaster Castle, enjoy coastal walks in nearby Morecambe, or venture into the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you’re celebrating with friends or enjoying a luxurious family retreat, Turner House offers an unforgettable stay in a truly magical setting.
