This first floor apartment is set in the stunning grounds of Wreay Mansions, a former hunting lodge, just a short distance from the quieter and more peaceful end of the lake.

Outside, the south-facing gardens are large and extensive.
The village of Watermilock on the shores of Ullswater, is just a 10-minute walk away. Here, you will find a selection of fine dining restaurants and country inns serving home cooked food and real ales. Nearby Pooley Bridge is where you can catch the steamer across the lake. There are many walks in the area from lakeside strolls and waterfalls to more challenging routes on the surrounding fells, which are some of the finest in the National Park, including Helvellyn with its famous Striding Edge. The lakeside road meanders over the Kirkstone Pass. Enjoy the spectacular scenery, then drop down into Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere nearby. Shop 7 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
