The Wheelhouse at Staveley is a unique holiday let in the busy village of Staveley. It is modern, comfortable and homely, and is designed with holidaymakers in mind.
The Wheelhouse at Staveley sits to the side of a small industrial site (please note that there may be some deliveries and vehicle movements, mainly during normal working hours in the week) and provides ample room for up to six guests in three bedrooms.
Downstairs there is a relaxing open plan living/dining room, with floor to ceiling glass doors that overlook the private patio at the front of the property. The living area has large leather couches and a wall-mounted flat-screen television, and is beautifully decorated with pictures of the local area. There’s WiFi and Netflix available too for you to catch up on your favourite box sets. It is a great place to relax.
The dining area has a large dining table topped with a map of the Lake District National Park so that you can plan your next day's adventures over dinner.
There is a modern kitchen complete with an induction hob, oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The breakfast bar provides additional workspace and a place to sit and chat with a coffee.
The Wheelhouse at Staveley also has separate utility facilities available including a washing machine, iron and ironing board.
The private Swedish sauna is not to be missed and provides a tranquil haven after a strenuous day walking or cycling in the hills (please note that the sauna is coin operated and takes 20p coins only).
Upstairs, the landing has a chaise lounge and second television. It's a great place for kids to relax and do their own thing, and it has its own Xbox games console for entertainment and watching DVDs.
There are three bedrooms that sleep a total of six guests. Each room is beautifully furnished with good-quality beds and bed linen, drawers and cupboards, and electric central heating radiators.
Bedroom One has a king-sized bed, dressing table, chair, bedside tables and wall mounted reading lights.
Bedroom Two also has a king-size bed with chest of drawers and bedside tables.
Bedroom Three has two single beds, bedside tables with reading lights, a wardrobe and a low window with deep sill and exposed wooden lintel.
There are two fully-tiled shower rooms in the property, each with a large walk-in shower cubicle, wall mounted WC, hand basin and heated towel rail.
Outside the Wheelhouse at Staveley, there is a paved patio area and off-street parking for three cars (one at the front of the property and two at the rear). There is a barbecue in the store room and patio chairs and a table available for you to relax outside in the warm weather. The property has a heated drying room in the stores where you can put your wet gear in at the end of the day, and there's a secure cycle/equipment store with a few useful tools. The equipment store(s) are also perfect if you have a young family, at the end of the day; simply push your buggies and prams into the stores with piece of mind and not having to pack them into your car!
Electricity, towels, tea towels, dishcloths and bedding are included in the cost. However, the Scandinavian sauna is coin operated and takes 20p pieces only. Each 20p lasts for 5 minutes. There is Wi-Fi and central heating throughout the property. A travel cot and highchair are available on request.
Short breaks are possible depending on availability - please enquire.
We have a no pet and no smoking policy at The Wheelhouse at Staveley.
The Wheelhouse at Staveley is only 300m from the centre of the village and so, after your walk, why not head to the Eagle and Child for a pub lunch, try the tapas at the Hawkshead Brewery, Wilf's for a veggie chilli, the More? Bakery for a fresh croissant and bread, a great coffee and cake at Café Eclec or Mr Duffin's coffee den. Staveley has so much to offer on your doorstep.
It is also a great place for cyclists and, at the Wheelhouse at Staveley, we have provided facilities to make your stay more comfortable and hassle free. So bring your bike on holiday, as the Wheelhouse provides a few special touches to certainly make life easier for the enthusiastic cyclist.
Staveley is perfectly positioned for exploring the beautiful Lake District. There is great shopping in the scenic market town of Kendal. With the Kentmere Valley on the doorstep, widely regarded as the 'entrance to the mecca of mountain biking', you could not be in a better place! Getting to Staveley couldn't be easier, just off the M6, or you can arrive by train straight into Staveley station.
There are fabulous trails, walks and climbs, straight from the Wheelhouse. The Kentmere Valley is regarded as the entrance to the mecca of mountain biking and the trails and walks start straight out of the front door. Staveley is a busy, thriving village and the property is easily accessible directly off the main road from Staveley to Kentmere and is perfectly positioned for exploring the beautiful Lake District. Literally open the front door and pick your walk, local to Craggy Wood, a little more adventurous to Potters Tarn and Guernal Dubbs or why not pack your lunch and head off to walk the Kentmere Horseshoe!

What a lovely house! It was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The sauna was a bonus! And in such a beautiful location too with plenty to do nearby - we had an excellent stay here and hope to return one day :)

Lovely little house in a beautiful location. The house had a welcoming feel and was very comfortable. Everything we needed and more for us and our four children - ranging from teens to a toddler. A great walking location and with the bonus of a handy little village with shops, pub and a play area, ...

A beautiful, clean, modern property perfectly located for days out in the Lake District. We were all very happy with the sauna and the large amount of board games available to spend fun times together in the evenings. The kitchen was finely stocked with all the pots, pans & implements you would ever need to do your own cooking. Would recommend anyone to stay here! Thank you for having us. :-) xx
