Relax in this iconic 1957 American Airstream, situated in the grounds of an 18th Century residence, which is conveniently situated between the villages of Ings and Staveley and only 2.5 miles from Windermere.

The Airstream has been permanently placed and with such benefits from fresh running water, electricity and a plumbed-in loo. Wooden decking to the front makes an ideal space to have a BBQ or read a book.

The Airstream offers a comfortable double bed with fresh bedding, a WC, a separate shower and a cosy seating area. The wooden work surfaces and abundance of storage space makes for an uncluttered space. A fridge, microwave and tea/coffee making facilities are provided but there are no cooking facilities, but this is easily remedied by taking a short stroll to one of the local pubs - The Watermill Inn & Brewery at Ings, The Eagle and Child in Staveley or Hawkshead Brewery & Beer Hall in Staveley all of which offer superb food. Alternatively, head into Windermere for a choice of fantastic restaurants.

The area is popular with mountain bikers too, riding the many routes in the Kentdale Valley, secure undercover storage is available for bikes if required.

Great for a couple of nights as well placed. Gillian was wonderful but do take earplugs if you’re not used to road noise.

It has a comfy bed and a nice shower. A short drive from Windermere. What set it apart was the many thoughtful touches, the type only a mother would make.

We booked a two night stay in this airstream and it was brilliant. Gillian (owner) was just lovely, the Dixie was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed, including a Webber bbq as our cadac stopped working lol. I have recommended this to my friends on social media, who have been asking about it and they won’t be disappointed. Great situation for climbs around Grasmere which was our reason for booking. Also, a nice pub down the road.. perfect folks!

The location was brilliant, we were on motorbikes so the parking was safe, Gillian was very friendly and helpful, everything was very clean and the van was well stocked with all that was needed for a very pleasant relaxing stay, can't recommend it enough.

The Dixie's is a lovely little place to have a cozy and stylish stay. The weather wasn't great for us, but that's the Lakes for you! There were no draughts and the two heaters soon got the Dixie nice and snug.

What a lovely unique place to stay. Had a lovely 40th anniversary in Dixie, Gillian the owner was always around if needed. Will definitely go back when we have some good weather.
