If you want to enjoy more active activities, many nearby walks and cycle routes offer lovely views of the surrounding area.
“Words are hard to find that do justice to The Far Boathouse experience. As it truly takes you to another place, from its idyllic evocative tranquil location, to its delightfully well-equipped and elegantly appointed interior.”

We had lovely few days stay at The Far Boathouse. Inspired by the TV programme “Gone Fishing” we booked as soon as we could. We were not disappointed. The Boathouse is a beautiful accommodation and very well equipped for everything you need – home from home. The scenery was outstanding especially the autumn colours. Caught a lovely perch off the jetty to round off a perfect trip. Many thanks for the birthday gifts for my wife.

Our second visit to this amazing place. Sunny September days spent relaxing on the balcony enjoying the ever changing light over the lake and hills. All the thoughtful, special touches make this the perfect place for a short break. We’re already booked for next year!!!
