The Sanctuary | Ridgestone

Ridgestone is very proud to present to you, The Sanctuary, a beautifully renovated one-bedroom apartment designed to offer guests an exceptional blend of comfort, design, and peace. Set within the Whitbarrow Holiday Village, this luxury self-catering suite has been thoughtfully curated to provide a truly serene and stylish stay. Start long summer evenings out on the balcony, grazing on a cheeseboard as the last light spills over the fells and the sky fades to dusky pink. On crisp winter nights, sink into the sofa with a good book and a soft blanket, letting the glow of the lamps and the hush of the surrounding woodland lull you into complete relaxation. The open-plan living space is light-filled and welcoming, with large windows that frame views of the surrounding landscape and open onto a private balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. Inside, a cosy seating area features a Samsung Smart TV, an Apple HomePod for immersive sound, and a plush sofa ideal for relaxing after a day out exploring. The sleek, modern kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line Siemens appliances, including a combination microwave and grill, induction hob, warming drawer, slimline dishwasher, and integrated fridge-freezer. A Nespresso Vertuo Pop with Espresso Aeroccino is on hand for your perfect morning coffee, and the kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need to prepare and enjoy simple meals at home. The bedroom offers a restful retreat, complete with a sumptuous super king bed, a pocket-sprung mattress, high-quality linens, and a second Samsung Smart TV for added comfort. Shutter blinds let you control the morning light while adding to the calming atmosphere. The en-suite bathroom has a spa-like finish, featuring striking grey Porcelanosa tiles, a generous rainfall shower, and a sculptural stone pedestal basin. Guests are provided with soft towels, luxury toiletries, and robes to complete the experience. Throughout your stay, you’ll enjoy access to a range of on-site amenities, including a swimming pool, steam room, Jacuzzi, gym, restaurant, bar, and leisure activities such as crazy golf, a giant chessboard, and frisbee football. Whether you're here for a romantic escape or to recharge in nature, The Sanctuary offers the perfect combination of style, privacy, and convenience in the heart of the Lake District.

Follow in the footsteps of Wordsworth, take a walk discovering the beautiful fauna and flora the Lake District has to offer, take a relaxing ride on an Ullswater steamer and enjoy a picnic watching the world go by on the side of the lake. Discover the historical locations of Penrith castle or the Cumbria’s stone circles of Castlerigg. The Lake District is a playground for thrill seekers, from gorge walking, abseiling, white water tubing or the calmer kayaking or archery. Enjoy the pool, Jacuzzi or gym after a spending the day exploring the area. Dine in the onsite restaurant Eden, in a choice of local gastro pubs, or dine alfresco with some locally sourced produce you have picked up from one of the many farm shops in the area.
