The Main House
The property’s elevated position and striking architecture create a lasting first impression; a promise of the luxury within.
Step inside and slip off your shoes in one of the two welcoming entrance halls, where the warmth of natural materials and soft lighting invite you to unwind. Deer Close is a reverse-level home, with all bedrooms thoughtfully arranged on the ground floor to maximise the living space and views above.
Throughout the sleeping quarters, the interiors are designed to impress, each room offering a tranquil retreat with uninterrupted views of the lake, where you can watch the reflections of the moon ripple across the water as night falls, framed by glass doors or large windows that invite the outdoors in. Begin your stay in the spacious super-king-size master suite, where you can rinse away the day beneath a sleek shower, then prepare for the evening in your own private dressing area, softly lit and elegantly appointed.
This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
