Set in a peaceful location, with upside-down accommodation making the most of the views and its toes right in the water is The Boathouse at The Fisheries.
This large, detached property offers a charming boathouse feel inside, with a white exterior wrapped up in 80 acres of private woodland.
Perfect for romantic couples, this cottage welcomes fishing and walking enthusiasts to enjoy a tranquil lakeside setting.

Sip your morning coffee from the warmth of your bed as you watch the fish jump high out of the water and ducks swim along to join their raft.
Across from the bedroom is the bathroom, oozing quality from head to toe.
Enjoy the deep-soaking bath after a day out exploring, or step up into the large shower cubicle, for a rejuvenating wash under the rainfall showerhead.
