For customers seeking something special with stunning lake views, then Derwentwater View must come at the top of your list. This luxury first floor apartment is one of 9 other apartments in Harney Peak, a former Lakeland Hotel converted, refurbished and upgraded to a high standard, situated in the peaceful attractive village of Portinscale. This is an ideal base for couples, families or a small walking group to have a luxurious stay whilst exploring the Lake District.
The open plan layout provides a spacious, light and airy space, comfortable seating for all, and a view across Derwentwater and down towards the Borrowdale valley. In fact, many of the well-known fells can be seen from a number of the apartment windows including Carl Side, Swinside and Walla Crag, inspiring views to get you exploring. Should you choose to stay in and relax, the sumptuous sofas and a good read are maybe all that you need, with the large picture window leading onto the balcony to enchant you with the surrounding beauty.
The apartment has a Scandinavian feel, with aesthetically clean modern looks, and a brightness that evokes a sense of calm. A well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to start the day with a hearty breakfast, or an evening meal to enjoy around the table with good conversation and laughter. Each bedroom is lavishly decorated, with plush bedding and comfy beds for a good night’s sleep. There are three bathrooms, including an en-suite to wake up revived and refreshed to start your day.
Follow the footpath to the lake or to nearby Keswick, where you will find an abundance of small independent shops, outdoor retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants. Whilst on your doorstep, Portinscale is home to many of Wainwright’s walks, including the famous Catbells- this is the perfect base to leave the car and get out on foot. Alternatively, there is one of Portinscale’s renowned tea rooms just a few strides away, with tasty home cooked food.
