About this property
Tall Trees is an eclectic detached Lakeland residence that oozes luxury. The property occupies a sublime setting within woodland glade surrounded by 'tall trees' just a short walk from the shores of Lake Windermere near Storrs Park, the area is known locally as 'Millionaires Mile'.
Please note that building work is being carried out next door which should be complete by the end of April. Internal work will be completed by the start of April which will just leave landscaping and tarmacking the car park. Disruption will be at a minimum - this is reflected in the owners advertised rates for any disruption caused.
This holiday property really has the wow factor! Step inside and see in the outstanding contemporary features echoed throughout. Located on a secluded countryside atmosphere blends seamlessly with contemporary living, where the infinity glazed design really does bring the outside in. Enjoy the smart luxury bathrooms, plush bedrooms, a modern open plan kitchen and dining area fit for a formal or relaxed gathering. The living space has a warming circular wood burner and there’s sophisticated technology throughout, ensuring you have everything you need and more besides.
Step outside via full length bi-folding doors onto a large terraced balcony or the large slate patio and enjoy the fresh air that greets you.
A great place to relax and enjoy al-fresco Lakeland life. There’s also direct access onto a number of National Trust footpaths. Whether you are celebrating a happy event or just spending time with your favourite people, Tall Trees is a magical treat delivering sheer luxury and matching your high expectations. Ghyll Head is a picturesque sleepy hamlet surrounded by some fabulous eateries including the very well known 'Masons Arms' at Strawberry Bank and bustling Bowness-on-Windermere a just a short distance away.
The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes.

We had a very enjoyable stay and the property was perfect for us. Would very happily stay here again with one exceptionâ¦. the smell from the utility room and twin bedroom en-suite was extremely unpleasant. We placed rolled up towels at the base of the doorway to both areas to stop the smell from invading the rest of the property - this worked well and we enjoyed our stay regardless. Those of us who stayed in the twin bedroom and the double bedroom (with the roll-top bath) shared the other separate bathroom off of the corridor. It is a shame really because the property is absolutely wonderful. We certainly enjoyed the lovely log fire and 360 view from the living area. Local walks from the door were great. The property itself was a perfect base to drive from for the most wonderful and challenging walks further afield. Everything catered for within the property, also clean and tidy.

The utility room smelt dreadful and the washing machine door surround was covered in mould (which we cleaned). This smell did permeate around the lower floor for a couple of days until we managed to get rid of the smell. The outdoor lights on the front balcony trip the circuit breaker when it is raining, so be aware. The fire glass had not been cleaned in a long time (we cleaned it). The utility room produces a constant 'hum' which was not a problem for us as we were only 2 people and slept at the other end of the hall but might annoy people in the room adjacent.

So we had a total of 6 in the group....the property is amazing.... breathtaking views from the extensive veranda....the accuracy of the house description is spot on...the summerhouse room is huge, although storage space is somewhat limited....there is a utility room with larger American fridge freezer downstairs, so over the week you definitely get your steps in...The only other negative we could find from the kitchen space would be to have a larger dishwasher...as the house sleeps 6 then a normal sized dishwasher would be more practical than the half size one currently in place....The outdoor furniture is gorgeous and luckily the weather enabled us to use this a few times...the extended garden was superb for the dog to play although the walk to the top of the hill that starts alongside the house is fantastic...the views of Windermere from the stone seat on the top of the hill are breathtaking.... each room were very well suited, 2 with en suite. The middle bedroom had a plumbed in roll top bath which we never used and a separate bathroom at the end of the ground floor...the showers were walk in ones which was great for my folks and the mirrors were Bluetooth enabled which is a fancy touch...the only complaints we had from the rooms were that the twin room bathroom had a sewerage smell which we had seen from previous reviews. It wasn't a game changer but probably needs addressing...there is also a boiler that sits next to the front door, which seemed to be on a lot and when so was noisy especially at night. We just left the heating settings as we found them so this may be why the boiler was on a lot, the temperature was comfortable so thought it was pointless to tinker with them. On the positive side, my folks have travelled all over the world in every type of accommodation and they both agreed the beds were the comfiest they'd ever slept in....high praise!!!. Overall I have to say we were so happy to pay a little more than usual as you could really benefit the extra space....I did have to laugh that when I went downstairs to get some stuff from the larger fridge my watch would lose Bluetooth connection from my phone which highlighted the size of the property....We would certainly recommend this property to anyone....the negative points are minor in comparison to the beauty of the place and size of the property....
