Ees Wyke Country House - A Georgian country house with lake views, exceptional breakfast, and Beatrix Potter connections
Set on high-ground overlooking Esthwaite Water, this elegant Georgian property in the Lake District was once a holiday home of Beatrix Potter. Ees Wyke Country House offers free parking and is less than 5 km from Hawkshead. The house features 2 traditional lounges with fireplaces, and a terrace with stunning views of the Langdale Pikes, Scafell Pike, and Coniston Old Man. Guests at Ees Wyke Country House enjoy locally sourced bacon and Cumberland sausage at breakfast, along with freshly baked bread and options such as Loch Fyne kippers. The 7 rooms, some with sloped beamed ceilings, include en suite bathrooms and a TV. Select rooms offer baths, and views of the lake or garden. Evening meals are prepared by owner-chef Richard Lee, who produces a daily-changing 3-course menu. The Moss Eccles Tarn walk starts directly from the house, and the Windermere Ferry is 3 km away. Amenities include free WiFi, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, and a safety deposit box. Electric vehicle charging and accessible parking are available.
Pros
Welcomed with tea and homemade scones on arrival.
The owner-chef produces world-class 3-course dinners.
Sherry and a bowl of essentials (e.g., cotton pads, tweezers) provided in rooms.
Peaceful location with direct access to Moss Eccles Tarn walk.
Cons
Limited breakfast and dinner hours; no room service.
Attic rooms have low ceilings, which may be uncomfortable for tall guests.
“Ees Wyke Country House provides a truly restorative escape, where the country house charm meets stunning lake district panoramas. From the welcoming scones on arrival to the exceptional locally-sourced breakfasts and thoughtfully appointed rooms, the attention to detail is palpable. It's clear this is a place where guests feel genuinely looked after, making return visits an easy decision.”
