Overview
Property code: LLH26

One of the lesser known lakes in the region, Esthwaite Water is no less beautiful and was, in fact, Beatrix Potter’s favourite lake in the region. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks around the edge of the lake, try their luck at fishing or even take a specialist osprey safari boat trip. Just one mile from the property is the village of Hawkshead, which has a choice of interesting shops and pubs and a number of interesting National Trust properties, including the Beatrix Potter Gallery.

Approaching the property up the sweeping drive, guests will immediately feel that this is a really special place to enjoy a break in the Lakes. The main living area of the property is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has stunning double aspect views of the apartment’s beautiful surroundings, including the lake itself, the property’s woodland estate and the mountains beyond. Here, guests will find a dining table seating four, comfortable seating, a TV (with Chromecast), DVD, hi-fi and ipod dock with Bluetooth speaker. To the rear of the room is the kitchen area, which was refitted in 2016 and is well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. Both of the property’s tastefully decorated bedrooms have woodland views. The master bedroom is a spacious super king-size room which offers a contemporary en suite shower room, whilst the other is a zip-and-link twin room which can be made up as king-size upon request. The bathroom has an elegant roll top bath / shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, the estate enjoys 40-acres of shared gardens and woodland, which guests have full access to. Wandering down to the lake, there is private access to the shore - a perfect spot for enjoying a picnic. Younger guests will enjoy the play area, with swings, a climbing frame, and outdoor table tennis tables. There is off-road parking for provided.

A very comfortable and well equipped apartment in a stunning lakeside location. An ideal spot for visiting this part of the lakes both for walkers and car users. We can recommend the use of the local bus service that can be accessed in Hawkshead village to visit Ambleside, Coniston, Windermere, etc. We Can highly recommend Broomriggs 11 as a holidaRead morey base, from arrival to departure we felt at home and valued the information and input from the on-site manager Alec.

We've had two contrasting holidays at Broomriggs. The first was during the exceptional heatwave, the second was a very rainy week. Both weeks were enjoyable. The peaceful and scenic location lent itself well to being out and about in the good weather, yet we were equally as happy staying in reading and relaxing during the days when we experienced hRead moreeavy rain as the apartment is well equipped and quiet, and it was nice to look out and watch the changing weather patterns.

We really enjoyed staying at Broomriggs 11. The flat was comfortable and had everything we needed - even a stock of books - and the highlight was the view of the lake.

Having been yearly visitors to this part of the Lakes for 30 years we can honestly say this apartment offered far more than any of the others we have stayed in and the view across the lake and beyond was absolutely breathtaking . Our only regret was that it took us this long to find Broomriggs!. We have already booked for next year.
