A Stunning Retreat in the Heart of the Lake District Nestled in the charming and historic village of Hawkshead.

Amaley is a beautifully restored holiday home that offers an unforgettable escape in the breathtaking Lake District. With space to accommodate up to eight guests, this luxurious property has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Whether you're planning a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this home promises an exceptional stay in one of the region’s most sought-after locations.

As you step through the front door, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hallway, designed with convenience in mind. There’s plenty of room for coats, walking boots, and outdoor gear, making it easy to store everything after a day of exploring. From here, you’ll find a beautifully appointed ground-floor bedroom featuring a superking bed, which can be seamlessly converted into twin beds on request. This room comes complete with its own en-suite shower room, offering privacy and comfort for guests.

For entertainment, the garage has been transformed into a fantastic games room, equipped with a dartboard and a pool table—an ideal space to keep both kids and adults entertained, especially on those occasional rainy days. Adjoining the garage is a dedicated boot room, providing ample storage for outdoor clothing, hiking boots, and adventure gear, ensuring everything is kept neat and organised.

Venture upstairs, and you'll find the heart of the home—a spectacular open-plan living area designed for both relaxation and socialising. This inviting space boasts a modern, fully equipped kitchen, complete with high-end appliances, sleek countertops, and all the essentials needed to prepare delicious meals. A large dining table sits at the centre, perfect for enjoying meals together, whether it’s a hearty breakfast before heading out for the day or a cosy dinner by candlelight.

The lounge area is a true highlight, featuring sumptuously comfortable sofas gathered around a charming log burner, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. Whether you're curling up with a book, watching a film on the Smart TV, or simply admiring the stunning views, this is a space where relaxation comes naturally. Large windows provide picturesque views over Hawkshead village, with Latterbarrow and the fells beyond Ambleside forming a breathtaking backdrop—so captivating, you might find it hard to leave!

On this floor, you’ll find three beautifully decorated bedrooms, each offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the Lakes.

  • A spacious double bedroom, designed with comfort in mind.

  • A stylish king-size bedroom, featuring elegant furnishings and plush bedding.

  • A versatile super king bedroom, which can be converted into a twin upon request.

Each bedroom has been carefully styled with tasteful décor and its own Smart TV, ensuring every guest can unwind in privacy and comfort.

To the side of the house, a private carport provides a single parking space and features a dedicated electric vehicle charger—perfect for eco-conscious travellers. In addition, there are two extra parking spaces conveniently located just across from the house.

Step outside, and you’ll discover the rear garden, which features a steeply sloped lawn leading up to a tranquil patio area. This elevated spot is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee while soaking in the spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding fells—an idyllic way to start the day.
