Property code: OC-POSTKL

Post Knott Lodge has the ultimate wow factor, with uninterrupted panoramic views across Windermere, and from pulling up outside, you’ll immediately get the sense you’re about to stay somewhere unique. Nothing short of a showstopper, Post Knott Lodge is the perfect place for family holidays or special occasions. This memorable property, won by its current owners as part of the Omaze competitions, sleeps up to 12 people and makes the most of its location, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the luxury of a sauna, steam room and gym, built into the hillside and accessed via the garden.  

Not to be forgotten is the unrivalled location of Post Knott Lodge – being an easy walk away from the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can sample some cocktails or choose from a selection of champagnes in the Fizzy Tarte. If fine dining is more your style, enjoy eating out at one of Cumbria’s 7 Michelin star restaurants, the HRiSHi in Bowness, or the L’Enclume in the nearby village of Cartmel.

Looking for things to do on your stay? Charter a private skippered yacht on Windermere, enjoy a breath-taking experience in a Gyroplane, or head up in a hot air balloon ride which launches close to Windermere. For a more relaxing activity, enjoy a self-drive boat on Windermere to enjoy the views at your own pace, or Sail ‘n’ Dine, where you can drop anchor in one of Windermere’s many secluded bays and enjoy a glass of champagne. If you fancy exploring the fells without walking boots, why not take the wheel of a specialist Kankku 4x4 vehicle, for a real off-road adventure from their command centre in Windermere.

This house is amazing. The decor, the views and everything about the property are outstanding and well worth the cost. The welcome package and other extras were a nice touch. All communication with the property owners was very easy and they were very helpful. All my guests had a wonderful time and would book this property again.

The trip was delayed due to illness of one of our party and we finally arrived in the Lakes early December to be greeted by one of the worst storms for some time! In some ways this was a blessing as we stayed in the house using the fantastic facilities without any guilt of not exploring the area. A group of 5 couples had more than enough space to tRead morehoroughly enjoy our 3 nights; dining at the vast table overlooking the lake was a particular treat. The house is special - large comfortable bedrooms - all but one ensuite - with good showers and plenty of storage. The dining / kitchen area and the sitting room are especially comfortable and practical with lovely decor heightened by the Christmas decorations. An added feature is the TV room with comfortable seating and a large screen. For those more energetic the house also has a small gym, although limited equipment (Peleton feature is an unnecessary complication for a short stay). Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the break in such wonderfiul surroundings and would highly recommend. Hide

The house is absolutely beautiful. All the furnishing are high quality, comfortable and cosy. Decent cooking facilities- could do with a few more bits for keen cooks. Great and easy 10 min or less walk to the town or to the lake side.
