Experience world-class service at Ees Wyke Country House

Ees Wyke Country House is an elegant Georgian property in the Lake District, less than 3 miles from the town of Hawkshead. Set on high-ground the house overlooks Esthwaite Water and offers free parking. Ees Wyke, once a holiday home of Beatrix Potter, features 2 traditional lounges, both with a fireplace. Stunning views of some of the most well-known fells in the Lake District can be enjoyed from the terrace area. Bedrooms feature striking picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Each room includes an en suite bathroom, as well as a TV. Some rooms also feature slopped beamed ceilings. Most mornings you will awake to the aroma of freshly baked bread, which accompanies the locally sourced bacon and Cumberland sausage at breakfast. In addition to this there is a menu featuring tasty options such as Loch Fyne kippers. The Lake District is famed for its many countryside walks and the Moss Eccles Tarn walk starts from the house. The Windermere Ferry is 2 miles from the house and goes to Ferry Nab near Bowness-On-Windermere. 7 rooms are ensuite, 2 rooms have seporate bathrooms
