Situated in the Lake District, close to Windermere & Coniston Water, Stony Hazel House is the ideal base for your Lakeland getaway. Nestled in ancient woodland with river frontage, you can enjoy walks and mountain bike trails from the doorstep. The Grizedale Forest Visitor Centre - home to a ‘GoApe’, a bike hire shop, children's play area and cafe - is just 2 miles away. The jewel in the crown is the beautiful gardens which offer plenty of space to explore.
The Property:
Spanning four floors, there is plenty of space inside and out;
Lower ground floor: this is where you will enter the property from the car park. It has a utility room (with washing machine, dryer, additional toilet and shower) and games room (equipped with a darts board and pool table).
Ground floor: a fully equipped kitchen, lounge (with large Smart TV and wood burner), toilet, snug area (with wood burner) / dining room.
First floor: two double bedrooms, a bunk room and bathroom (with large shower and freestanding bath).
Second floor: twin bedroom (with zip & link beds which can be joined to create a super-king sized bed if preferred -please specify when booking).
Outside there is over an acre of beautiful outdoor space, including a large lawn with river frontage, terrace, and secluded walled garden.
You will have the whole property to yourself.
The Local Area:
Prepare to be charmed by waterfalls, tarns, woodland and moorland, all within a stone's throw of the house. You may even meet some of the locals -red deer, badgers or buzzards. Further afield, the shores of Windermere and Coniston are within a 15-minute drive and the picturesque village of Hawkshead, with its local pubs, traditional shops and a Co-Op, is around five miles away. For the kids, Haverthwaite steam railway (15 mins), Hill Top House (15 mins), and Dalton safari zoo (25 mins) are easily accessible by car. Fancy a bite to eat or a few drinks? The Eagle’s Head pub at Satterthwaite is walkable in 25 minutes, while Manor House (exceptional food!) at Oxen Park is a 5-minute drive. Both are dog friendly.
Parking:
To the rear of the property there is off-road parking for two to three cars.
Dogs:
Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome, however they must be kept to the two lower ground floors of the property and off the furnishings.
Other Things To Note:
The stream at the bottom of the garden is not fenced off so young children will need to be supervised.
The conservatory roof is in a bad state of repair but we do have plans to pull it down and put a new extension and wrap around deck onto that side of the house. This will also involve re-rendering the end of the house and deal with the damp issue in the double bedrooms. In the meantime, we have made the conservatory as comfortable as possible so that it can be used on fine days.
Check-in and Check-out:
The property is set up to allow remote access with easy self check-in meaning that no direct contact with anyone is needed.
Please note: Check-in is from 16:00 and Check-out is before 10:00.
