This stylish apartment has been lovingly updated with a calm, modern feel, layered with soft textures and curated details that add just the right amount of character. The Retreat is an inviting space for couples or solo travellers seeking a quiet Lake District escape, where slow mornings and unhurried evenings come naturally. On long summer days, throw open the doors, let the fresh Cumbrian air drift through, and linger over simple suppers as the light fades across the fells. When winter settles in, cosy up with a film or a good book, wrapped in a warm throw, as the gentle glow of the lamps and the quiet of the surrounding landscape make it feel like your own private sanctuary. The Space: Step into The Retreat, a beautifully renovated one-bedroom suite designed for comfort, privacy, and style. Situated on the ground floor, this peaceful hideaway opens through a sleek, black-stained front door into a calm, welcoming interior finished to a five-star standard. The contemporary kitchen is a true highlight. Designed for both convenience and creativity, it features Siemens appliances including an oven, microwave, warming drawer, large fridge-freezer, and slimline dishwasher. A floating island with a Teppanyaki grill and indoor BBQ allows you to prepare anything from light breakfasts to romantic dinners for two. The living area invites you to unwind with a double-sided media wall that includes a 65-inch Samsung Smart TV and a Sonos sound bar. A large, designer wool sofa, dressed with soft cushions and faux fur throws, is perfect for curling up with a book, streaming your favourite series, or enjoying a classic board game. When the weather is warm, step outside onto your private patio—an ideal spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink while watching the resident ducks, rabbits, and squirrels explore the landscaped grounds. The master bedroom continues the theme of luxurious calm, offering a super king-size bed with a pocket-sprung mattress, plush duvet, and feather-soft pillows. A second 65-inch Samsung TV provides added entertainment, while plantation shutters filter natural light across a serene and restful space. From the bedroom, you also have direct access to the patio, where you can begin your day with fresh air and countryside views or toast the sunset with a locally distilled rhubarb gin and tonic. The spa-style bathroom completes the experience, featuring striking grey Porcelanosa tiles, a round stone bath with overhead rainfall shower, and a stone pedestal washbasin. Matte black fixtures, luxury local toiletries, fluffy towels, and soft robes all contribute to a stay that feels effortlessly indulgent. Stylishly finished and thoughtfully equipped, The Retreat offers a private patio, a double-sided media wall, and all the elements needed for a restorative and memorable escape in the Lake District.
