The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is set underneath exposed beamed and has a central island where guests can socialise together as the chef cooks up delights. The dining table is set in front of large French doors making the most of the surrounding views. Once you are full up from dinner, you can curl up in front of the wood burner on the sumptuous lounge seating. If you fancy a movie night, the state-of-the-art cinema room provides the perfect spot.

The location,house,grounds and facilities are amazing with so much to do and see within walking distance or a relatively short drive away. Some housekeeping issues were below expectations for a property of this standing,but generally the facilities and equipment are of a good standard and the issues resolved with more attention to detail. We wereRead more a group of 9 adults and our 14 year old dog and had a wonderful holiday walking at least 5 miles each day,including visits to Ambleside,Keswick and Windermere to Hill top the home of Beatrix Potter. We loved having the steamer jetty on our doorstep providing trips on the lake to Pooley Bridge and Glenriding and particularly liked the restaurant/cafes in Pooley Bridge. Some of our party used their paddle boards and swam in the lake each day,despite it being the last week of September. We arranged for local chef Peter Sidwell to cook for us one evening and had a lovely 3 course meal with all the trimmings. What a beautiful and welcoming place the Lake District is with amazing scenery with so many waterfalls and wonderful walks . Hide

Waternook is absolutely stunning. Our party of 12 stayed in the main house. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Plenty of areas to go, and we never felt on top of each other. A short walk to the lake where we were able to paddle boards and fish. The kitchen/ dining area is perfect for entertaining , especiaRead morelly as its straight onto a terrace with tables and chairs. The views are stunning. A perfect place to go and only a short drive from Pooley Bridge, not that we left Waternook. Would totally recommend. Hide
