THE
ACCOMMODATIONS:
HOME AT FIRST’s eight Lakeview Apartments are
located in a converted country manor house on a wooded hillside amid the pretty hill
country of the southern English Lake District. Each apartment is unique, but all are
furnished and maintained to a high standard of quality. Rooms are spacious. There are
one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. Larger apartments may have as many
as three bathrooms. Most apartments feature scenic views of hills and a small lake. The
estate covers 100 acres of woodland and gardens. Great |
|
plots of rhododendron add
tremendous color to the grounds when they bloom in the late spring. |
| |
|
THE SETTING:
The Lakeview apartments provide lodging with all
the comforts of home. Each apartment is individually owned and cared for, and all
have lovely views, as the house itself sits in an elevated position overlooking a small
lake, the Esthwaite Water, one of the many of the Lake District. The property boasts 100
acres of gardens and woodlands for strolling and bird watching, and is an ideal central
touring base for England’s Lake District and even as far as Scotland’s southern
border (Hadrian’s Wall), and Yorkshire’s western edges. |

THE LOCATION:
The Lake District is one of Britains premier scenic areas. From
its more gentle southern rolling hills, framed into fields by
stone walls, to the craggy northern and western ranges of
Englands highest mountains, the Lake District offers a wide
variety of vacation activities.
The
Lake District today is particularly well-known for
its well-maintained "hill-walking" or hiking paths. But hiking
is by no means all there is to do in this area. From lake
cruising, to bike-riding, to touring the many historic haunts of
Britains literary elite, the variety of activities in the Lake
District is more than enough to fill a visit of one or two
weeks.
Lakeview Apartments are located a
five-minute drive from
Hawkshead,
one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District, and boyhood
home of |
|
English romantic poet
William Wordsworth. Because the village has grown so popular over the
last ten years, a large parking lot was built to the east of the
village, and the cobblestone streets are now a mandatory car-free zone
all year round.
Hawkshead is a maze of whitewashed 17th century houses and other
architectural anarchy that only adds to its charm. On holiday
weekends and in high summer you will be very glad your own home
away from home is not right in the village, which can be mobbed
with day guests. |

Within a few minutes drive are the
charming villages of Far Sawrey (home of Beatrix Potter of
"Peter Rabbit" fame), Coniston (outdoor activity center), and
Ambleside (regional touring center). A 5-minute drive from
Lakeview Apartments leads to a
car ferry across the principal lake of the region, Lake
Windermere, to Bowness and Windermere towns. |

ACTIVITIES: Walking, touring, cruising the lakes, cycling,
shopping for crafts and arts, visiting museums, riding steam railways, horseback riding,
and climbing mountains are principal activities that attract visitors to the Lake
District. Roads are narrow, twisting, and uncommonly scenic. Famously, the beauty of the
natural setting of the Lake District is complimented by the charm of its towns and
villages. Time moves slowly and gracefully here, at a pace proper for a holiday in such a
tranquil setting. |
