Location, location, location is always the main criteria when booking a holiday and this unique Cumbrian cottage has a location to "die for"!!

The Duke of Portland Boathouse provides not only a unique location, sitting directly on the north eastern tip of Lake Ullswater with superb views across the Lake towards Ullswater Marina and the fells above but has been lavishly furnished to provide an ideal honeymoon/romantic Lake District cottage for those seeking to indulge themselves at any time of the year.

The owner has completely refurbished the boathouse in a most distinctive style, using her experience as an interior designer to its full benefit. So striking is the interior design that it has been featured in the Cumbria Life magazine. The boathouse itself is reported to be the most photographed building in Great Britain.
