About the host
Hosted by Helen Farthing
Hello, I'm Helen, I deal with all inquiries and I keep the Boathouse to a high standard. I am continually tweaking the property to make sure your stay is comfortable and memorable. I moved to the Lake District in 1989 from Lincolnshire and I still marvel at the views. I enjoy being outside and make use of the lake and mountains.
Why they chose this property
The Boat House was originally the home for a gentleman's launch.
We have lovingly restored the Boat House and created luxury, all on one level accommodation to the Lake District in a truly unique and memorable home. Just as the original builders intended.
I hope you enjoy the Boat House and the Lake District as much as my family and I do. They really are a special place to make memories.
What makes this property unique
From your balcony, you'll have incredible 180-degree views over Lake Windermere and the mountains beyond.
Perched on the edge of Lake Windermere, you're a stones throw from sailing, kayak, and bike rentals. Walks, climbing, hiking, and all the adventures the Lake district has to offer are easily accessible.
The property is quiet and perfect for those with children or elderly relatives. There are no stairs, only one small step to enter the property.
