There is often an intake of breath, and then a ‘Wow!’ when guests first set eyes on this stunning romantic antique Louis XV double walnut bed with beautiful rococo details that takes centre stage in this eyrie of a room with time-aged wooden beams. A velux window set in the slope of the ceiling opens to reveal panoramic views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding mountains. There is some lovely antique walnut furniture, including Janz’s personal well-loved dressing table and stool with its own family history. A small private bathroom offers a deep clawfoot slipper bath suite and a hand-held shower mixer (not for standing up to take a shower).
