It features two ground-floor bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom with a shower, WC, and sink. While the annex provides comfortable sleeping arrangements and garden access, there’s no kitchen, so guests will need to use the main house for meals and other facilities.

Family Bathroom: A spacious bathroom with both a shower and a bath, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Secluded Yet Accessible

Despite its secluded setting, you’re still just a short drive from Lake Windermere and the charming town of Bowness, making it easy to enjoy local dining at The Gilpin or The Wild Boar or to explore the wider Lake District.
Thoughtfully Sourced Materials and High Standards
Every aspect of Shepherds Rock has been carefully considered, from the handmade beds, mattresses, and furniture sourced from northern England to the high-quality fittings from Stoke, Denby, and Lichfield. The renovation prioritized sustainability and modern technology, reducing the carbon footprint while maintaining the house`s original charm.
