The Waternook Estate combines two separate properties, Waternook and The Great Barn, set in a truly stunning location on the shores of Ullswater. A 5-star luxury experience like no other awaits at your very own private gated estate. The multi-award-winning properties have been created to provide the ultimate in relaxation in a setting that provides you with not only your own private grounds and lakeshore but also majestic lake and mountain views in one of Britain's most scenic corners.
A great opportunity for two families to holiday together while maintaining an element of privacy
As far as group accommodation in the Lake District goes, both properties are just stunning! They are furnished to the highest of standards and will please even the most discerning of guests. Underfoot, you will be walking on the finest Brintons carpets. Brintons have been awarded the Royal Warrant, which indicates the standards you can expect throughout. All the beds are handmade by And So To Bed, a specialist in fine antique-style beds, and our mattresses are Vi-Spring Elite - one of the best mattresses money can buy.
The private grounds include your very own stretch of lakeshore, a traditional boathouse, and a jetty for ultimate selfie-setting. Your security is paramount; there is gated access and CCTV for discreet privacy. There is a secure building at Waternook to store outdoor equipment, such as bicycles or walking gear. Enjoy the swathes of space for the clean mountain air, a choice of seating on the barbecue terrace, and instant access to the lake shore path along the eastern shores of Ullswater.
