The property

Staveley 1.5 miles. Ghyll Bank House is a magnificent hillside retreat in the Lake District National Park, offering expansive accommodation and sweeping views. Ideal for large families and groups of friends seeking space, comfort, and a spectacular setting, this characterful property is just a short drive from Windermere, Bowness, and Ambleside. Set in an elevated position above the valley, the house welcomes guests with generous living spaces designed for gathering and relaxing. The sitting room invites slow evenings and shared moments, with an open fire adding warmth and atmosphere. Whether you're watching wildlife drift through the garden or enjoying quiet conversation, the space encourages connection and calm. The kitchen is well-equipped for group stays, flowing into an adjoining dining room where long meals and lively chats unfold naturally. It’s a place where plans are made, stories are shared, and the day begins or ends together. Eight bedrooms offer flexibility and comfort, allowing guests to spread out and settle in with ease. Each room is arranged to suit a variety of group types, making it easy for everyone to find their own restful corner. The bathrooms are well-appointed, offering convenience and privacy after days spent exploring the surrounding countryside.
