10 Bed in Howtown (oc-w33505) | Cottage in Ullswater

Set against the shimmering waters of Ullswater and framed by the dramatic Lakeland fells, Waternook Estate is one of the Lake District’s most exclusive self-catering retreats. Spanning a private 27-acre estate with over half a mile of lake frontage, landscaped grounds, it offers a world where luxury, privacy, and nature exist in perfect harmony. From the doorstep, guests can walk to the Ullswater Steamer pier (0.5 miles) for scenic cruises to Pooley Bridge, Glenridding, or the dramatic Aira Force waterfall. Keen hikers can take on Hallin Fell (1.5 miles) or Place Fell (7 miles) for unforgettable panoramas, while seasoned walkers may be tempted by the iconic Helvellyn (6.5 miles).
Combining two exceptional properties, Waternook – sleeping 12 guests in six sumptuous en-suites bedrooms and The Great Barn – a stunning 17th-century converted bank barn, sleeping 8 guests across four exquisite en-suite suites bedrooms. Together, both properties can accommodate up to 20 guests, making Waternook Estate an unrivalled destination for gatherings, celebrations, or simply the ultimate escape. Both residences feature state-of-the-art kitchens. Sumptuous living and dining areas plus out of this world entertainment, you can enjoy private cinema-style lounges, SONOS multi-room sound systems with KEF speakers, and Rako mood lighting throughout.
Step outside onto terraces that command breathtaking views of Ullswater and the surrounding fells. Dine al fresco, relax on the lawns, or soak under the stars in the hot tub. The lake itself offers boundless opportunity for wild swimming, paddleboarding, and boating adventures.
Whether you take Waternook, The Great Barn, or both together for exclusive use of the whole estate, Waternook promises a stay like no other — where luxury meets the wild beauty of the Lake District.
This is Waternook Estate: a destination of rare distinction, designed to be remembered long after you leave.
