About The Dome House

For a limited time only (from 1st May to 13th June 2026) you can book Dome House exclusively as a self catering experience.

For the ultimate indulgence, upgrade to a fully catered experience and enjoy private chef dining, curated menus, and complete relaxation. 

Your own private chef and included drinks. Let us spoil you, no cooking or bed making...you're on holiday!! Pool, sauna and hot tub, just relax.

Set on a hillside above Bowness on Windermere, The Dome House boasts the best views of Lake Windermere. You will enjoy the luxury of being the only guests and every luxury has been curated just for you. The house offers five opulent suites with super king sized bed, luxury bathrooms, smart tv and complimentary mini bar. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided for a morning drink to wake slowly and take in the peace and the views, before heading to the breath taking Dome Room for breakfast cooked by your personal chef.

You won’t want to leave the house when you can enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool, relax with a glass of bubbles in the outdoor hot tub or soothe your body in our barrel sauna. For fun and games, there is a games room filled with traditional board games, bar football and a record player.

The evenings are a true dining experience. Your chef will prepare your food, using the highest quality local ingredients and paired with a bespoke drinks list, whilst you settle down with your friends and family and relax, an aperitif in hand until it’s time to gather around the table. What could be more perfect? The floor to ceiling windows and balcony provides a viewing platform for the jaw dropping view. Treat your family, catch up with friends, or host an unforgettable retreat in style.

This isn't just Bowness-on-Windermere. The Dome House is your own slice of Lakeland paradise where five-star service meets architectural brilliance. Lake cruises, the shops of Bowness, local nightlife and cinema are all within walking distance. You can stroll to the water's edge to take in the serene view. If you fancy something more active, there are walks on your doorstep and The Lake District offers a wealth of water sports and activities, some of which must be pre-arranged, so your hosts will be in contact with you ahead of your stay.

From your elevated location, the entire Lake District unfolds like your personal playground. Wake up to lake or fell views and tackle a Wainwright with a guide. Or if you’d rather stay cocooned in luxury having your very own spa day. By arrangement, your host can organise a massage or an indulgent beauty treatment. Simply chill out with your book, play old fashioned board games, or watch a movie on either of the two 75 inch smart tv’s. Hill Top and Beatrix Potter's world feel charmingly quaint when you're living like Lakeland royalty, and those famous Lakeland pubs become your personal discovery trail. This holiday rental in the Lake District doesn't just offer accommodation and superb catering but delivers an experience that will spoil you like nowhere else can.
