Dove Nest, Historic hotel in Lakes, Great Britain

The Dove Nest building features roughcast walls with deeply overhanging eaves and multiple 12-paned sash windows across two stories facing the lake.

Dating back to 1780, Dove Nest became the summer residence of poet Felicia Hemans in 1830 and received its Grade II listing status in March 1974.

The property incorporates traditional British architectural elements, including a marble fireplace from Elleray and stone architrave with cornice work throughout the structure.

Located at 1291A Ambleside Windermere Road, Dove Nest provides accommodation services while maintaining its protected status under British heritage preservation laws.

The central entrance, originally a doorway, has been transformed into a window, demonstrating the building's adaptation through different periods while preserving its character.
