Superb host, and fantastic high quality boathouse. This place and setting is like nothing else. We had the best experience and I highly recommend to anyone - you will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much Jayne, we had the best weekend. The most beautiful place, can't recommend enough. Anouska & Sadie

I recently stayed here with my partner Jim for his 50th birthday for two nights and it was fantastic!Jaw dropping in fact!A short drive down a private tree lined track to the waters edge .My first view was the rear with a raised wooden decked area and seating/table to give lovely view of the water.Some small steps down and we entered ...beautifully furnished to a very high standard everywhere and it smelt wonderful!very cosy and well thought out giving lots of space for two people.Wonderful bathroom with huge walk in shower that could fit a football team.The best is yet to come!Walk through the hallway past a wonderful open plan kitchen on left into open plan dining/living area and the whole front of the boathouse has concertina doors that open fully onto a balcony over Ullswater.This is the stuff dreams are made of!The balcony is glass fronted ,wide and long with seating/table and has its own private stone jetty and marble seating area to left next to water edge down below.The view is of the best part of the water and mountains and it was hard to peel ourselves off this to do anything for nearly 3 days!It exceeded my expectations and the pics on Jayne's website are good!Ducks and swans regular visitors and low flying geese across the water and fish jumping up for air.Very quiet ,private and peaceful with very low light pollution for the stars at night!A beautiful haven that I will be blessed to revisit again.On top of all this...Jayne the host is the best I have ever encountered when staying away,hotels and private lets.Her attention to customer comfort and happiness is amazing.She genuinely cares about her guests and their individual needs.Other hosts should take a leaf from her book!An amazing host in an amazing place that is totally private.There are other boathouses on Ullswater that I have seen while I was there and this one is the best!Thankyou Jayne for your wonderful hospitality.This place is perfect and I will struggle to find anywhere else to match everything you have here .Regards Gail and Jim

Just got home from a fantastic romantic break at the Far Boathouse. Arrived and was instantly blown away with the high level of detail taken to ensure it was perfect. The view from the sitting room is unbelievable, without doubt one of the best locations I have stayed in. It is also very easy and fast to travel to superb locations from the boathouse, such as Windermere, Ambleside and Keswick for the day and then relax in the beautiful boathouse in the evening. Genuinely can not recommend the place enough and would certainly return in the future.

The view from the house was stunning. It was very peaceful and very relaxing. Jayne was very kind and looked after us very well. She even prepared a birthday cake for us as I told her it's my husband's birthday weekend. We look forward to coming back!

We had to cut our time there short but the time we did spend there was absolutely fabulous the view of the lake from sitting room was brilliant ! Due to the generosity of the owner ( Jayne ) we are going back and I can't wait !

Beautiful boathouse - lovely few days relaxing after a hectic few weeks planning our wedding. Loved the peaceful location and excellent views. Shame the dog couldn't come along as well!

We had a fantastic 3 days for Jonathan's 50th birthday. His favourite place is the Lake District and he was thrilled with the boathouse. It was very private and has superb views. It made his birthday extra special. Thank you Jayne for the champagne and chocolates, they were a lovely touch on arrival. We are both going to come back! Thank you again Jayne X

My husband and I stayed in the boathouse for 3 nights. From the moment I opened the door I knew that it was one of the best if not possibly the best place in the UK that we have ever stayed, and we've stayed in some pretty good places. Even though the weather was not good it did not matter to us. Everything we needed was there. I was celebrating my 60th birthday Jayne left me wine chocolates and red roses. There was even tea pigs fruit teabags and scrummy biscuits. The view was to die for, and I loved the big sofa with all the cozy cushions. The dressing gowns was a lovely added luxury. My only regret is I didn't book it for longer.

I am so so glad that we heard about the Far Boathouse. It is honestly one of the most breath taking places we have ever stayed. It's tucked away down a private path that opens up to a lovely secluded spot on the edge of the lake with just the most amazing views. We spent most of our time looking out from the balcony and woke up early to catch sunrise. It felt like home straight away with everything you could ever need with lots of extra touches from Jayne. The most perfect place to stay for our first wedding anniversary. Thank you!
