The Far Boathouse, Ullswater
Far Boathouse on Ullswater, Watermillock Nr. Penrith, Cumbria CA11 0JJ
Tucked away at the end of a private track, The Far Boathouse sits peacefully on the shores of Ullswater, offering an intimate escape with uninterrupted lake views, this really is a stay like no other. As you descend towards the water, the boathouse reveals itself at the last moment—secluded, serene, and perfectly positioned for a relaxing getaway.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining area provides a comfortable, stylish space to unwind. A marble-topped table invites long breakfasts or laid-back dinners, while the large sofa faces glass bifold doors that open onto the balcony. From here, you can watch the water change with the light, spot swans gliding across the surface, or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for self-catering, with modern appliances, a wine cooler, and a ground coffee machine.
The bedroom is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a king-size bed dressed in soft Egyptian cotton sheets. The driftwood-style bathroom adds a subtle nod to the lakeside surroundings, with earthy textures and a spacious overhead shower. For special occasions, rose petals and a bottle of wine add a romantic touch.
Whether you’re here to celebrate a honeymoon, anniversary, or just to switch off from daily life, The Far Boathouse delivers a rare sense of seclusion, it is the perfect romantic retreat. Step onto the balcony to breathe in the fresh air, watch the sunrise over the fells, or stargaze over the still waters after dark. And when it’s time to leave, the tranquil views of Ullswater will stay with you long after the journey home.
