Description

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.

Reviews

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Post Knott Lodge. The house was fantastic, beautiful views, amazing location in a suburb, comfortable and luxurious house. Thank you!

Mrs M,

Thank you very much for the fantastic stay at Post Knott Lodge. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Spotless clean and welcoming accommodation. Lots of extras were included, in fact everything that you possibly may need during your stay. Post Knott Lodge is extremely comfortable with stunning views. Thank you so very much for making our holiday so special. We will be back.

Mrs W,

Post Knot Lodge was an amazing property and far exceeded the already fantastic photos. We had a wonderful time and Catherine (the owner) was more than helpful with any questions and requests we had. Also, sending us some flowers for my wife birthday was a very nice and thoughtful touch.

Mr Simon L,

Post Knott is amazing, with the best views of Windermere. Everything about the house is exceptional except perhaps the fact that two of the bedrooms were not en-suite. This restricts who we could take on a return visit. This time it was fine as it was all family. Other than that the house and facilities are perfect.

Mr Andrew W,

Lots of space for all - with personal touches throughout, snuggly blankets, and extras in the kitchen and cinema room which were not expected but just showed that each person who arrives is going to feel very welcome.

Mrs Kate C,

There is nothing I could fault with my stay, we had the best of time.

Mr Kevin B,

Fantastic stay in superb property 5*

Mr Justin W,

Every element was exceptional, the communication was before arrival was really helpful. The accommodation was beautiful and homely we felt very comfortable.

Mrs Jayne R,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we made great use of the sauna! Highlight of our stay was having a glass of champagne whilst watching the sunset at the dinner table. See you soon!

Past Customer,

Thank you Catherine and Chris for sharing this lovely house with us. We feel so lucky to have been able to return and found the house even better than our first visit in 2021. We can't wait to come again.

Past Customer,

Thank you for a special weekend to celebrate Mom's 80th. Thanks for making a special place a home and lovely views. Nice times with the family and all the great grandchildren, children, nieces and nephews. What a fantastic place! Hope to come back soon.

Past Customer,

What a fab place, really enjoyed the ambience. The decor is not frightening - I am not scared to touch things, the house is special but homely, thanks for sharing it with us.

Past Customer,
