Two Beautiful Victorian Country houses set in many acres of gardens and ancient woodland, providing accomodation for 32 guests, or 18 & 14 guests separately, built high above the head of Lake Windermere & providing stunning views of the countryside.
Broad Ings & Skelghyll Woods are both rich in original features, such as oak panelling and real fires. Broad Ings is rumoured to have been a hunting lodge of the Yellow Earl, and is definately large enough to have been! Situated just a short distance from the village of Ambleside, with it's cosmopolitan atmosphere & everything from a supermarket to market stalls, trendy wine bars to traditional English pubs, and so much history on the doorstep; Beatrix Potter's house, the Wordsworth Museum, a Roman fort, & England's longest lake to name just a few. For the more adventurous there are many walks and climbs, landboarding, off roading days, horseriding and many more activities, all bookable with your holiday, or as you like when you arrive. There really is something for everyone here!
