The Hideaway at Higher Longtail
Summary:
Nestled just outside the vibrant town of Bowness which overlooks the iconic Lake Windermere, find The Hideaway at Higher Longtail – the perfect idyllic retreat in the heart of the Lake District. Step into the comfort and relaxation of this modern home where every detail has been carefully crafted to elevate your stay, including a modern private spa room.
The Space:
Step directly from the patio, just a few steps from the parking area up to the front door and enjoy a warm entry to the property directly off the dining area.
Begin your journey in the heart of the home – the open-plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor. Here, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen equipped with all the essentials to satisfy your culinary desires. From the Sage coffee machine to the wine cooler, every amenity has been thoughtfully selected to enhance your culinary experience. Pool-safe glassware and utensils are also provided, perfect for enjoying drinks and snacks in the garden area or while relaxing in the hot tub, part of the custom spa room overlooking the garden.
Guests can relax around the dining table, where up to four people can comfortably enjoy a meal together. A cosy log burner shares the space, adding warmth and ambiance to your dining experience.
Venture upstairs to discover the cosy living room, where comfortable seating invites you to unwind beside the rustic fireplace. A Smart TV provides entertainment for quiet evenings in. Step out onto the balcony overlooking the garden and soak up the sunshine in warmer weather.
Both bedrooms await upstairs, each offering the comfort of a king-size bed adorned with large throws for added cosiness. Open storage and storage baskets provide ample space for your belongings, while LED lighting around the beds adds a touch of ambiance to your evening retreat.
While only one of the comfortable upstairs king bedrooms boasts an en-suite bathroom with a large rainfall shower, WC, basin, and heated towel rail, providing a luxurious sanctuary for your daily rituals. The second bedroom can enjoy the downstairs bathroom with a spacious bathroom featuring micro-cemented walls, a freestanding bath, WC, large mirror, basin, and invigorating shower, complete with underfloor heating for added comfort. Both bathrooms are stocked with indulgent Bath House soaps, shampoos, and shower gels, ensuring a pampering experience for every guest.
For the ultimate relaxation, step outside to the custom spa room that overlooks the garden, accessible from the ground-floor patio. Here, you'll find outdoor seating, five-person hot tub, and a custom-built sauna – the perfect retreat for soothing tired muscles and rejuvenating the soul.
