Step inside and enjoy how ancient England blends effortlessly with 21st century life with exactly the same views. Climb to the magical tower room, where you are higher than the tallest of trees and birds fly way below you, an utterly awesome view. Wander into the beautiful garden with terrace & various seating & dining options. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Domvs is a grand statement property delivering comfort and matching your high expectations, with sleek yet grand bedrooms all with en-suite luxury chic bathrooms, 21st century kitchen, a dining room fit for any formal gathering and a drawing room complete with warming open fire, opening into a sun room / conservatory, all complemented with sophisticated technology.
The area has everything you could wish for and bustling Windermere at just a 5 minute walk away will tempt you out to sample excellent restaurants and cuisine. Bowness is 1.5 miles away and sits right on the lake, offering more shops, restaurants and of course, boat cruises and boat hire.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.
