Welcome to The Hideaway at Yew Trees, a retro alpine lodge overlooking Ullswater
Tucked away above the shores of Lake Ullswater in peaceful Watermillock, The Hideaway is a striking architect-designed alpine lodge blending mid-century style with spectacular views and total privacy. Hidden amongst mature trees and south-facing gardens, it’s the kind of place you retreat to and never want to leave.
Inside
You enter into a light-filled handmade kitchen, fully kitted out for cooks and grazers alike. From here, the space flows into the open-plan living and dining area, warm, welcoming, and full of character. A huge picture window draws your eye to the lake and fells beyond, making the changing light and weather a constant backdrop to your stay.
The house sleeps six comfortably across three stylish bedrooms: a super king with an ensuite shower room, a king-sized room, and a twin. There’s also a large family bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower. Whether you’re a group of friends or a family with kids, it’s a relaxed, flexible space that works for everyone.
Outside
The balcony off the living room is where you’ll want to start and end your day, coffee at sunrise, wine as the sun sets behind the fells. The lodge is surrounded by mature trees and lush gardens, all facing south, giving you day-long sun and the kind of privacy that makes you feel like you’ve got the Lakes to yourself.
Location
Set in Watermillock, just above the northern shore of Lake Ullswater, The Hideaway is brilliantly placed for wild adventures and lakeside lounging alike. Ullswater is one of the Lake District’s most peaceful spots, known for its calm waters, dramatic fells, and slower pace.
Explore the Ullswater Way, a 20-mile trail circling the lake, or just dip into the best bits with the help of the Ullswater Steamers. You’ll find wild swimming coves, paddleboarding spots, Aira Force waterfall, and fantastic pubs in nearby Pooley Bridge and Glenridding.
Reserve your stay at The Hideaway and enjoy the very best of the Lake District from this hidden retreat, your ideal home away from home is ready to welcome you!
