This unique, iconic, luxury cottage is an 'ideal honeymoon cottage in a location to die for', stunning views of Lake Ullswater and the fells can be viewed whilst relaxing on the balcony of this traditional boathouse or from the bedroom through the patio doors. Unsurprisingly, the Duke of Portland Boathouse has been voted "the best waterside retreat" by BBC Countryfile Magazine! It's location at the top of Ullswater gives it superb, unparalleled views across this beautiful lake. It is one of the most iconic and most photographed buildings in the Lake District. The boathouse originally belonged to the 3rd Duke of Portland in the 18th century but he had to sell it along with his Cumberland estates to pay his legal bills. His loss is our gain! Park beside the boathouse and climb the steps to enter a unique, romantic and cosy interior that provides everything needed for a perfect stay at every time of the year. Shades of Farrow and Ball are mixed with sumptuous furnishings and luxury fabrics. The boathouse has an open plan layout with magnificent cruick beams and underfloor heating beneath a rustic oak floor and comprises:- The bespoke painted kitchen with granite work tops provides all you need with a generous breakfast bar and comfortable stools for intimate dining a deux. There is an LPG oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, coffee machine (accepts vertuo nespresso coffee pods, not provided.) After dining you can sit back and relax on a sumptuous leather sofa in front of the wood burning stove. Smart TV and Bluetooth sound system are all provided for your entertainment. Unwind in the luxurious slate shower room with overhead shower, WC and hand basin. Fluffy towels and bathrobes are provided together with a range of toiletries. Enjoy the views down the length of the lake from the romantic bedroom. You can gaze out at a starlit sky from the comfortable king size bed with luxurious Egyptian Cotton bedding or relax in the slipper bath sipping a glass of champagne! Double doors open onto the balcony from which you can truly experience the breathtaking views! An amazing place to enjoy breakfast or just sit and contemplate the beautiful surroundings and its wildlife. Cosy rugs are provided for chillier evenings! The boathouse also has its own private jetty and owns a quarter of a mile of lakeshore with fishing rights. If you are tempted out of the boathouse, the renowned Another Place Hotel is a short drive down the lakeside for fine dining. Alternatively there are traditional Cumbrian pubs in nearby Pooley Bridge.PLEASE NOTE: Dogs are not accepted at this property. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 377 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32940000/32931400/32931374/776c52cf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Appleby Appleby - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=32931374&PinnedHotelID=32931374&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32923400/32923345/50441fa4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Sowerby Row near Penrith Sowerby Row near Penrith - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=32923345&PinnedHotelID=32923345&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32920600/32920578/f419ae33.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Near Keswick Near Keswick - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=32920578&PinnedHotelID=32920578&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32928700/32928610/3c139bab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Mungrisdale near Keswick Mungrisdale near Keswick - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=32928610&PinnedHotelID=32928610&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32920600/32920538/c14465dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Watermillock-on-Ullswater Watermillock-on-Ullswater - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=32920538&PinnedHotelID=32920538&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70460000/70453000/70452925/a8733dba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Greystoke Greystoke - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=70452925&PinnedHotelID=70452925&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32940000/32931300/32931299/3d6dd3ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning views over Ullswater from this modern open plan apartment.

We stayed at the boathouse as a base for cycling, walking and exploring but it really was so much more... We swam from the slipway, fished from the jetty and watched the birds and the fish and the lake and the view. We really were Duke and Duchess for our short but memorable stay.

We then back into the boathouse to enjoy supper by the wood burner stove. What a memorable treat. ##### John C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne B. 28 Apr 2024 #### Amazing Location 3 night stay in April and we were very lucky to see blue skies. The boathouse is furnished in a traditional style with some lovely modern touches. Walking to the sound of the water and the view of the lake and mountains was unforgettable. Pooley Bridge is a short walk away but be careful of traffic as you leave the boathouse it is a busy road. ##### Joanne B.

If you want to enjoy a unique, romantic, and luxurious Lakeland experience then look no further. The Boathouse is a wonderful property both inside and out. The location is stunning.

My husband and I had the most incredible stay at this beautiful boathouse! It exceeded expectations in every way - beautifully decorated inside with lovely little touches, so cosy (with a log burner and loads of wood provided) and the most stunning views from every single window. We could have happily stayed for weeks!! Thank you for a fantastic break. Highly highly recommend!

It was as good as I anticipated. Beautifully renovated with lovely, comfortable facilities. The location is superb and allows for free swimming in the lake which I enjoyed - even if it was cold! It was the perfect distraction from life and a getaway I will definitely be repeating. Thank you. ##### Tabby K.

The bath with the views was a wonderful experience. A magical place to stay and so warm and cozy. Had the opportunity to kayak in the morning directly from the house and the views and tranquility of the lake were amazing. A hidden gem To put on your bucket list of places to stay.

It’s an intimate setting for two, with all amenities including a lovely log fire. Whilst the main road is just to the front of the property, you are not affected by the sound from it, however it was a little disappointing to learn on arrival that the Boat House doesn’t command the privacy it portrays on the photos and you could not be on the balcony looking over the lake without feeling somewhat overlooked, by cars and hikers. That aside, it was an amazing place This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 16 Jan 2025 #### Absolutely beautiful one night stay! I was extremely lucky to have won a one night stay in a facebook competition! We arrived on a cold and sunny day with the snow still on the ground and the views were breathtaking! It is a gorgeous boathouse outside, and the inside doesn't disappoint either! It was very clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our break! I loved the copper bath and we enjoyed getting cosy by the wood burning fire! We slept with the shutters open so we were able to wake up with views across the lake....stunning!! I cant remember the last time we both felt so relaxed. I can imagine the boathouse being an amazing place to stay any time of year. Thank you for your hospitality :) This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Y., Stockton On Tees 28 Aug 2023 #### luxurious accommodation in a stunning location We stayed for two nights wishing we had booked for 3+ nights. The accommodation is picture postcard perfect in every way from the unique location to the superb views and exquisitely equipped accommodation. We were that enamored by the Boathouse we had all our evening meals there not wanting to miss our time there, We are very familiar with Ullswater and had some lovely walks but the highlight was our morning paddlebording form the jetty. I have no doubt we will be back Dave & Moira ##### David Y.

It was everything I expected and more. I could have spent the whole of my time just sitting on the balcony, the view is amazing and so relaxing listening to the water below and watching the ducks. I would love to return in the winter and sit in front of the wood burner, it would be so cosy. Highly recommend staying here. ##### gail c. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Jul 2024 #### A lovely hideaway on Ullswater I stayed at the boathouse for 3 days, and found it to be delightful. All amenities were modern & covered my expectations. The weather was inclement, but the underfloor heating was soothing, as was watching the waterside life from the terrace ( well wrapped up ) I guess my only complaint was the entrance. Right on a blind bend a little bit scary at times This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona M. 10 Nov 2024 #### Wow! Just perfect Thank you so much David, Julia, and Gail. We have always wanted to stay at the Boathouse so treated ourselves for our 25th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. The boathouse lived up to our expectations, and more. Well equipped, warm and a real treat. We enjoyed walks from the boathouse each day, took in the views from the balcony over the Lake late afternoon/early evening (wrapped in the blankets thoughtfully supplied), enjoyed soaking in the copper bath, and relaxed in the warm interior in the evening! Bed was super comfy too and made for a lovely deep sleep. We will be booking again I'm sure! ##### Fiona M.
