The Great Barn - Luxury Home with Lake Access - Dog-friendly | House in Howtown

The Great Barn, sleeping 8 over 4 luxury suites, occupies a sublime, secluded setting within 27 acres of private grounds and terraced gardens, commanding breathtaking views of the Ullswater and surrounding fells. Waternook's dramatic setting is complemented by half a mile of Ullswater's lake shoreline and a boathouse with a private jetty. Don't forget that if you have a larger party (or just require an extra bit of privacy), you can book Waternook as well, sleeping a further 12 for complete exclusivity of the estate.

The Great Barn is fitted with state-of-the-art technology, a spacious lounge and a mezzanine reading area, a modern kitchen, and a dining terrace complete with awe-inspiring views. For the music lovers amongst you, the Great Barn is fitted with a Sonos invisible multi-room sound system complemented by KEF in-ceiling speakers.
Gazing out through the array of glass or indeed in the fresh-air gardens with terraces, it would be easy to imagine the surrounding mountains have been carefully arranged to provide Waternook with the most breathtaking views.

Leave aside the 'million dollar views and setting' for a moment and stroll throughout The Great Barn in our 3D interactive tour. Sleek, sophisticated interior styling and perfectionist attention to detail ensure that this luxury self-catering homestay will inspire even the most discerning guest. Whether you are celebrating a happy event, searching for the perfect setting for an intimate wedding reception, or just spending time with your favourite people, here is a magical treat that delivers sheer luxury and matches your high expectations.

The Great Barn is furnished to the highest of standards and will please even the most discerning of guests. Underfoot, you will be walking on the finest Brintons carpets. Brintons have been awarded the Royal Warrant, which indicates the standards you can expect throughout. All the beds are handmade by And So To Bed, a specialist in fine antique-style beds, and our mattresses are Vi-Spring Elite - one of the best mattresses money can buy.

Don't forget the grounds include your very own private stretch of lakeshore, traditional boathouse, and jetty for ultimate selfie settings. Your security is paramount; there is gated access and CCTV for discreet privacy. If you are pushed for time and need a helicopter taxi service, there is space for landing right in front of the property. There is a secure building to store outdoor equipment, such as bicycles or walking gear. Enjoy the swathes of space for the clean mountain air, a choice of seating on the barbecue terrace, and instant access to the lake shore path along the eastern shores of Ullswater.
