Fairbank Farm House is a former gentleman’s residence set in 350 acres of beautiful working farmland. Fairbank Farmhouse is a semi-detached property and part of a private and secluded Lake District estate, which is situated close to the village of Staveley and only 10 minutes from Windermere.

Recently refurbished throughout in a contemporary style, it is the perfect base for friends and families to enjoy. Every room in the house has magnificent vistas from the windows and you will be forgiven if you find yourself daydreaming, looking out at the impressive views.  There are two large lounges, each with comfortable seating and with a warming and inviting wood burner.

Our family had a great 2025 Christmas stay at Fairbank. Superb accommodation, spotlessly clean. Great big log burners. Location was great too for exploring the area. The owner Clare was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend for family/friends.
