Holly House in Pooley Bridge

Holly House5 bedrooms, Sleeps 10.

Right in Pooley Bridge, this roomy village house works particularly well for a gathering of friends, couples or family members who want everyone to have their own space: it sleeps 10 in 5 bedrooms, and each one has an en-suite. The layout spreads across several levels, with a lower-ground utility and cloakroom, a living room and dining room on the main floor, then bedrooms arranged over the half landing and first floor, including three kingsize rooms, one double and a twin.

Being so close to the village makes it easy to leave the car behind, while the shore of Ullswater is only a short stroll away. At the back, the shared lawned garden is a real bonus, with seating, a barbecue and open views across the fields that give the house a quieter feel than its central position suggests. Refurbished throughout, it feels well set up for larger groups who want to walk, cycle or spend time on the water, then come back to somewhere sociable rather than isolated.

Just a short walk will take you to the shore of Ullswater where there are all year round regular steamers travelling the sinuous length of the lake, calling at Howton on the way south to Glenridding. Water sports, cycling and walking are all popular activities and whichever you choose you’ll be amazed by the spectacular scenery which Wordsworth called ‘the happiest combination of beauty and grandeur’.

South of the lake you can drive over the scenic Kirkstone Pass which takes you down into the popular village of Ambleside and on to Windermere. The traditional market town of Penrith with a good variety of shops, pubs and restaurants is 6 miles. Shops and pubs 30 yards
