INCREDIBLE ACCOMMODATION, THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR A SPECIAL GATHERING OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Be welcomed into this exquisite property via the grand panelled hallway with its magnificent original staircase and make your way into the beautiful open-plan living space where you can look forward to relaxing and socialising with your loved ones. Be impressed by the array of quality appliances in the kitchen, with a two oven AGA range, electric double oven and five-ring induction hob, Quooker tap, two large fridge freezers and two dishwashers at your fingertips and an excellent array of cooking equipment, this is truly a “cooks kitchen”. The rustic kitchen island presents the perfect spot at which to perch with a glass of wine while the cooking smells fill the room. Retreat to the window seat to soak in the view over the garden towards Claife Heights and the lake, or relax by watching the TV from one of the armchairs, before all are called to gather at the long wooden table in the elegant dining area.
Warm yourself up in the cooler months by settling in the snug where a wood-burning stove can provide the heat as you get lost in a good book, or watch a movie. When you want to bring everyone together for an evening of fun, head down to the sitting room on the lower ground floor where several sofas await you along with a TV, a snooker/pool table and table football, offering the perfect environment for making happy memories.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room is a lovely room featuring pale blue hues on the walls and cupboards, home to a washing machine and tumble dryer, large butler sink with Quooker tap, and lots of space for drying any damp clothes after a day on the fells.
Enjoy spending time in the beautiful garden where two patio areas make excellent spots for alfresco dining, having a BBQ and soaking up the last of the evening sun.
End your day by heading up to one of the five comfortable and elegant bedrooms, each beautifully furnished and boasting plenty of storage for your belongings, as well as featuring lovely views to wake up to.
Find three bedrooms on the first floor, including a king-size and a double, both enjoying en-suite shower rooms, and a further king-size served by the stunning family bathroom where a large feature bath provides a sumptuous spot to unwind. The second floor affords both a king-size and twin room with views over the lake and fells, with both served by a fabulous shower room with a large shower cubicle.

What a magnificent, spacious and comfortable house!!
Absolutely perfect for three generations of our family.
We have enjoyed every room; the comfort, the beautiful decor, and the spaciousness... especially the kitchen diner.
A perfect position for exploring all areas of the Lake District.
Thank you for the wonderful welcome pack and for the walk suggestions... We have loved every minute of our stay!

The house is beautiful, comfortable, extremely spacious and warm. Plenty of room for three generations of our family. Well equipped, with many amenities and a fabulous games room, this house caters, perfectly, for all ages. Situated in Windermere, it is a good base from which to explore all areas of the Lake District. There is a comprehensive folder, full of suggestions for walks, activities, restaurants etc, (which was very helpful), as well as a wonderful Welcome Pack! We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this stunning house!

From Granny and Grandad, Mummies and Daddy through to three boisterous Grandsons. This house catered for us all with room to spare. The basement games and cinema seats were a favourite with the boys.
Fabulous throughout. Fabulous location.
We'd love to come back.
Many thanks, The Davies family and The Greatholder family

The Williamson family gathered from UK, France and the USA to celebrate my 80th birthday. We couldn't have chosen a better house to accommodate our every need- so well modernised, tasteful everywhere. We loved the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the spacious kitchen, dining area, the snug, the lounge in the garden room not forgetting the pool and soccer tables, and not least the reading room!! We even had pretty good weather and managed a hog roast at the top of the garden. All in all, a wonderful place, thank you.

Your hospitality has exceeded our expectations. Every inch of your beautiful home has been planed meticulously from the wonderful welcome basket to the restored architectural details. We've stayed in numerous rural homes all over and this has been by far the best. Thank you!

What a wonderful place to spend a family week celebrating a special Birthday. We all loved the house which we found very comfortable for a large group. Fantastic facilities in the kitchen and the games room downstairs was fantastic for the younger ones. Enjoyed discovering The Lakes, even if it wasn't always dry!

What a memorable stay at such a wonderful house. The perfect place for a family reunion. It was a long journey home from Hong Kong but well worth it to surprise our Mum for her 70th birthday. The house is all we could have wanted and more, we all just want to move here! So beautiful to see such love has gone into this property and that so many memories have been made here. We look forward to coming back.
With love and fond memories!

We had such an incredible time here. It was an international gathering with family coming in from the US to spend time together and with our new-born (on her first holiday!). We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much.

What an amazing house - we have had a fantastic week here, and for the first time on holiday we chose to stay in rather than going out on many evenings, because we loved being in the beautiful kitchen so much! The location is so perfect for exploring the area and we found all of the information in the folder very useful. We absolutely loved the gin too - thank you!

A lovely week - boat trips, walks and beautiful places to visit and a warm welcoming house to come home to. What a treat! Even the rain couldn't spoil our stay. We all went home feeling refreshed and more 'normal' after a strange year. Thank you! Chris, Elaine, Tom, Carole and Steve xx

We absolutely loved our stay at Oakburn. The location was brilliant and the house was above and beyond expectations. It was very comfortable and felt like home. I cooked with herbs from the herb garden outside and all enjoyed cooking toast using the AGA stove very much. The snug was a highlight room as it had a fireplace and was so cute and cosy. We woke up the morning with a beautiful view of the lake and we walked to School Knott and Orrest Head from the doorstep. We loved it and will hopefully be back again.
