We make dreams come true!

Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 & 8 May still available at discounted rate, why not make your dreams come true.

Our latest guest has dreamed of staying at the boathouse since she was a little girl.

"I have driven past this boathoyse every year since childhood and finally got the chance to stay. It was everything I expected and more.
I could have spent the whole of my time just sitting on the balcony, the view is amazing and so relaxing listening to the water below and watching the ducks.
I would love to return in the winter and sit in front of the wood burner, it would be so cosy.
Highly recommend staying here."

We look forward to welcoming you back in the winter Margaret.

📣What a fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

"Absolutely stunning and beautiful location, the Boathouse was just so special for a romantic and relaxing break. The facilities are superb and it is beautifully decorated throughout. Expensive, yes, but so worth it for a special occasion. The views are stunning - even on a gloomy morning, but incredible when the sun's out and you can have breakfast on the balcony. The copper bath was fabulous too, especially after a long day walking. A wonderful, unexpected addition was the quality English sparkling wine that was left in the fridge for us - thank you so much, we very much enjoyed it - on the balcony obviously!"

Had an amazing night. Everything perfect. The bath with the views was a wonderful experience. A magical place to stay and so warm and cozy. Had the opportunity to kayak in the morning directly from the house and the views and tranquility of the lake were amazing. A hidden gem to put on your bucket list of places to stay. Thank you for the champagne to add to a perfect stay.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Spring is definitely in the air, the daffodils that inspired William Wordsworth are starting to flutter and dance on the shores of Lake Ullswater.

Take advantage of our discounted rates in March and book your spring break now and discover Wordsworth inspiration for yourself.

Week night was £450 now £350, Friday and Saturday was £495 now £395 plus £45 booking fee.

We love hearing from guests, thank you for a 5/5 star review Paul and Elaine.

"We have been wondering what it would be like to stay at this iconic place on Ullswater since we started visiting the Lake District a few years ago.....WOW, it was better than we ever imagined it would be. It's so very welcoming when you step through the door. A very well appointed open plan kitchen/living area. A large walk in shower in the bathroom, W/C. Going through to the bedroom with a large bath & stunning view of the lake as you awake. Then out onto the veranda which you can sit out and experience the stunning views of Ullswater. Even though it was a brief stay for my Wife's 60th, hopefully we will return one day to the Boathouse. Thank you!!"

We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
