Oakland West sits within the former grand hall of one of Windermere’s first gentleman’s residences; painstakingly resorted and now offering luxury accommodation for 14 in one of the area’s most exclusive locations. Staggering lake and fell views provide the perfect back drop to your Lake District escape.
Entering from the private driveway with parking for up to seven cars, you’re welcomed into the large dining kitchen which proves to be the perfect entertaining space time and again. Framed by carved panelled walls, the well-designed kitchen provides all the mod cons for groups wishing to self-cater, with the combination of seating meaning there’s space for everyone to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy longed for time with friends and family.
On the ground floor, you’ll also find a convenient utility room with access to a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as hanging space for your boots, coats and other outdoor wears. Beyond, a cloakroom with double basin and WC.
After a day of exploring, the library-style snug provides comfortable seating for seven and with the wall mounted TV and Firestick at hand, the kids will be kept entertained for hours. If it’s a family affair, the spacious lounge provides comfortable seating for all 14 guests across 3 bespoke leather sofas. The country-chic style is complemented by the modern day Stovax Studio Inset Wood Burner and wall mounted TV. Access to the rear garden and patio can be accessed from both the snug and the lounge, bringing a real sense of space to this luxury residence.
The first floor offers 5 sumptuously styled bedrooms, all presented with well-paired soft furnishings and colours to compliment the beauty of the house, as well as a nod towards the fell and lake views that are found beyond the character windows. Three king size, one twin and one further duplex double bedroom make up the first-floor accommodation, each benefiting from an en-suite bath or shower room. The sixth bedroom makes up the second floor, with 4 single beds – designed to give your group some flexibility – once again, with a stunning en-suite shower room with bold, geometric floor tiles and walk-in shower.
Externally, the property benefits from large private grounds: the garden to the rear of the house offers a tremendous patio for al-fresco dining and summer entertaining, with a 14-seater dining table and 2 charcoal barbeques from where you can enjoy the far-reaching fell views while the kids can relish in the expanse of enclosed lawn. Enjoy a morning cuppa in the tranquillity of the front patio, where further outdoor seating is provided for you to enjoy.
**Please note that bookings staying for 2 nights from a Friday will benefit from a 5pm check-out on the Sunday.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting
A wonderful stay with family in a fabulous house . Needs chairs in bedrooms and areas for ladies to do hair and makeup near to mirrors and plugs. A clock in the kitchen would be useful and pictures in the lounge as walls are large and bare. Garden would be nicer if it had some plants. However, none of this...
A wonderful stay with family in a fabulous house . Needs chairs in bedrooms and areas for ladies to do hair and makeup near to mirrors and plugs. A clock in the kitchen would be useful and pictures in the lounge as walls are large and bare. Garden would be nicer if it had some plants. However, none of this distracted from a lovely time. House was spotless and kitchen had everything you could need. 2 dishwashers perfect for large groups. All bedrooms were beautiful . Thank you

Gorgeous stay in a gorgeous house
We were all really impressed by the bedrooms styles and sizes and the fact that every room had an ensuit! The kitchen was huge and fully stocked with all cooking utensils and made a lovely atmosphere for gathering together. The sitting room was huge as was the garden making it a very comfortable stay for 8 adults.

The sitting room seated 12 comfortably and the wood burner was super efficient and made the dark evenings very cosy.
In terms of location it’s a short walk into Windermere town and a handy location for going off biking. Orrest head and lots of walks just out of the door. All bedrooms were styled nicely and comfortable and clean. We liked the fact it’s set in a quiet location with great views and felt very private.

Fantastic family property
We had a great Christmas stay at Oakland West. It’s a house where you can get together but also have privacy - perfect for mixed aged family groups. All the bedrooms are excellent, which is rare. We will definitely be staying again.

The bedroom’s were all beautiful and en-suite bathrooms a treat.
It was well equipped with plenty of pots, pans and utensils.
The fire doors were very heavy to open especially for the older members of our party.
The garden was great Fi the dogs once we had temporary fixed the gaps, it would have been perfect if this was fixed by the owners.
All in all a fabulous location and property with everything you could need.

The views were gorgeous. It’s a great house for a gathering - lovely kitchen & dining space. The kitchen was well equipped and the two fridges and dishwashers make everything easier when catering for a larger group. The bedrooms were all nice - great having all en-suite. Our only comments would be that a couple of the mattresses were a bit soft, perhaps needing renewed. It would be great to see more with extra-kingsize beds - i’m sure that the rooms are big enough. The Loft room was great for parents with small children. We’ll return here quite happily.
Excellent property for large group.
We had the best stay at Oakland West with our extended family for a l wedding. The bedrooms are a great size, the kitchen spacious and well equipped and the living rooms were just prefect. Loved the garden too. Tarn and Fells were very much on the ball and very responsive to our every request.

Our 3rd time at Oakland West
This is a brilliant property for family gatherings. It’s our third stay here and won’t be the last. Perfectly located at the top of Windermere, with a great walk up to Orrest Head on the doorstep. The facilities in the property are good, and Ross at Tarn & Fell escapes is good at communicating. No hesitation in recommending.

Lovely big house and garden
Great to have 6 en-suite bedrooms. The downstairs bathroom to bedroom 5 was a little awkward but they managed. Great dining kitchen and outdoor dining options for a party of 13 with two bbqs. Two dishwashers and fridges was brilliant. Great views. Not too far to walk into Windermere either. Good parking for our four cars too. Excellent customer service...

Two dishwashers and fridges was brilliant. Great views. Not too far to walk into Windermere either. Good parking for our four cars too. Excellent customer service from Ross of Tarn and Fell escapes. And also two sitting rooms! Could not ask for a better house for our large family. The fire doors took some getting used to. We all loved the wool stair carpet too! Thankyou for a fantastic four night stay
Simply perfect!
Oakland West was the perfect place for our family holiday we can't recommend it highly enough! Spacious and comfortable to accommodate us all with beautiful outdoor space and views.

Windermere & Bowness
Windermere, unsurprisingly, sits close the shores of the world famous lake, Windermere. It's a haven for those who love visiting the Lake District to enjoy it's splendid scenery, while also embracing everything the twin towns of Windermere and Bowness have to offer. From local shops, popular restaurants and water-bourne activities on the lake, Windermere is better know as the heart of the lakes. We can see why.
Oakland West is perfectly located for exploring both towns and the surrounding areas, being only 10 minutes' walk into the centre of Windermere.
