Swarthbeck House - Howtown, Ullswater

Swarthbeck House is a newly refurbished 7-bedroom house situated on the eastern shores of Ullswater, near Howtown. It has lake access and plenty of walks right from the doorstep, including Bonscale Pike and Arthur's Pike.The extensive ground floor comprises the grand entrance hallway and staircase, from which you have the spacious lounge with dual-aspect windows, three large three-seat sofas and a 50" Freeview Smart TV. The modern electric fireplace gives a sense of luxury and comfort.

The games room is next door to the living room and is a great space for watching sports or a film on the large TV. Why not challenge other guests to a pool or foosball game, especially if the weather isn't so good and you can't get out walking or exploring the area (it is the Lake District, after all)?

Family meals from the fabulous kitchen, fitted with modern appliances and beautifully decorated with William Morris tiles, will cater to your needs. The large dining room is opposite the kitchen, so it'll be easy to prepare hearty meals for everyone to enjoy around the large square dining table!

Now for upstairs- seven gorgeous bedrooms, including single, twin, triple, and double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite! Each bedroom has been tastefully decorated, and the large double-glazed windows allow you to enjoy the views.

While the inside is gorgeous, the outside space is equally as special - the property sits on the banks of Swarth Beck with a steady flow of water from the fells behind down to Ullswater below. The front of the house has a large paved patio area surrounded by established shrubbery with glimpses of Ullswater through the trees. Picnic benches and a BBQ make this space ideal for alfresco dining. Another slightly larger garden sits at the rear of the house. This space is equally special with views of Ullswater.

LAKE ACCESS: Guests at the house also benefit from access to Ullswater, a gorgeous stretch of private lakeshore (shared only with residents of two other nearby holiday cottages) perfect for picnics and water-related activities. Guests are welcome to swim, so why not bring your kayaks, SUP boards, or canoes? (Motorised craft are not permitted.)

We highly recommend this beautiful house for families, friends or walking groups.
