The Big House is a magnificent abode, set at the front of the estate affording superb views across the immaculately manicured grounds to the fells beyond. The well-planned layout lends itself perfectly to a larger gathering of close family and friends looking to spend precious quality time together.
With ample deep cushioned seating for all to sink into and relax, the room flows effortlessly through to an elegant dining room with enormous table, plenty big enough to comfortably seat fourteen.
Catering for those budding chefs among your group; with its central island there’s plenty of work-space and elbow room for everyone to lend a hand in the preparation of that special family lunch or dinner.
At the front of the house, with original fireplace and a wealth of wood panelling, the snug is the perfect spot for having some quite ‘me’ time, reading your holiday novel of choice or planning the next day’s walk.
Sitting on the first and second floor are a mix of twin, zip and link, kings and superkings, each individually designed to reflect the location, the heritage, and beauty of the area.
Dressed with stunning soft furnishings and married with perfectly chosen accessories, each bedroom is blessed with top quality mattresses adorned with luxurious linens to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Fully tiled en-suite bath or shower rooms, each, again with an individual theme and first class fittings, complete the offering.

The Big House on The Heaning Estate is fabulous. All fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard and very comfortable. Big white fluffy towels, local toiletries that smelled divine and very comfortable beds. Slippers and robes were also provided in every room. Luxury! And the views were absolutely fantastic. We were lucky to have cloudless skies for 3 days. What a bonus. We would certainly love to revisit next time we have a big birthday to celebrate!!
The Big House is set in a wonderful location, and is a quick drive into Windermere where there are lots of amazing walks! The house itself is beautiful, the dining room was a perfect size for our group as was the lounge. The house is well decorated and stayed nice and warm and was a lovely place to spend a long weekend with a large group.
Amazing house! Had the best time. The host was attentive and helpful. The rooms and their en-suite were beautiful.
Gorgeous house with breathtaking views.
A fantastic property for a big family gathering! The rooms were all beautiful and the house was spotless! The estate has beautiful gardens to enjoy and everyone in our group from 4 to 80 had a great time. Thank you!
A fabulous place to stay, a beautiful house in a stunning location, all contact with Lakeland Retreats was prompt and efficient!
Our family enjoyed a long weekend in the Big House, cooking a Sunday roast for 11 has never been so easy as the kitchen was well equipped.
The Big House is absolutely stunning! You can tell straight away that no expense has been spared and is well equipped for anyone’s stay! We did not need much contact with Michelle, but a courtesy call before our arrival was a very welcome touch. I couldn’t recommend a stay enough!
A wonderful house – a really 5star experience and a fantastic location!
