Description
If you are looking for an “Adult Only” luxurious private home for a weekend escape or a romantic getaway, 1 Priory Manor is the perfect place.
Thanks to our privileged location, our guests have picture perfect views of the lake and surrounding fells.
Centrally located Priory Manor will be your home base to enjoy the best of the Lake District. The historic villages of Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, where you will find an abundance of pubs, restaurants and shops are just a stone throw away. A few miles further out and you will find the picturesque villages of Hawkshead, Ambleside, Elterwater and Grasmere.
Your ultimate getaway is part of The Priory, a Grade II, Victorian Gothic Mansion, built in 1869 as a private residence for Manchester businessman William Carver. The location he chose for his magnificent home, commands breathtaking views of Windermere, England's largest natural lake, the Langdale Pikes and beyond.
The Priory overlooks the beautiful grounds and rolling fields that lead down to the shores of Windermere. To fully enjoy the breathtaking views, William Carver added a Tower Room, giving him nearly a 360* view of this magical place.
Today, The Priory has since been divided into two private, luxurious residences. The small terraced garden residences below the hedge of The Priory's private garden, were the location of the green houses. The beautiful building to the right of The Priory, was the Coach House.
The main entrance, with its gorgeous gothic front door, is the entrance to 1 Priory Manor. The beloved tower room and grand staircase with the priceless stained glass windows, are all .are part of 1 Priory Manor.
Entering the residence through the gothic front doors, you will find yourself in the reception room. To your right, the grand staircase, home to "The Ladies of Priory Manor".
Six eloquent stain glass windows, depicting Peace, Love, Hope, Faith, Charity and Industry. These priceless masterpieces were commissioned by William Carver and must have had significant meaning to him. Look closely and you will see that his initials were part of the harlequin pattern.
The staircase will take you up to a lovely sitting area and a long hallway that leads to both the Master and Bedrooms.
Follow the stairs up to the 3rd level and you will find a charming little getaway. Here you will find the final staircase that leads you up to the Tower Room, a great place to escape and have a cup a tea or a morning coffee.
Make your way back down the staircases and through the double doors, you will find the impressive drawing room with its beautiful view of the lake. Luxurious, yet cozy, this is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a day of touring.
Walk outside to the terrace, a perfect place to enjoy a bite to eat or share a bottle of wine. Follow the stone stairs down to the garden and then follow the private pathway that will take you down to the lake, a perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon.
The local grocery store, Booths, is located next to the train station, only a ½ mile away, giving you even more options to easily travel to London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
Priory Manor has a well-equipped kitchen, including the Nutribullet, Nespresso, Cappuccino Machine, Juicer etc.
Free WIFI, Flat Screen TVs, DVD Players, Wireless Speakers, iPod Docks, Hairdryers and Straighteners.
Local brochures and restaurant menus are located in the small office, right before the Drawing Room.
Due to the historical nature of Priory Manor we do not except children or pets.
