Boutique luxury hotel accommodation in the peaceful heart of Windermere village featuring newly refurbished contemporary rooms complete with wi-fi, Ipod docking stations, digital TV and radio, DVD/CD player and cafetieres of fresh coffee!
All you would expect from one of the finest small boutique hotels in the Lake District.
After parking in the private car park, walk into the guest house (that was once a gentleman’s residence), where the blend between modern and traditional is apparent: the tiled floors in the hall, the original stained glass windows on the landing and the original staircase boasting fresh flowers.
The overall feeling of this luxury bed and breakfast is one of tranquillity.
At our luxury bed and breakfast we have a lounge that has that “wow” factor. You can sit in the lounge and lose yourself in the piles of magazines, books, CDs, puzzles or play the grand piano at one of the best luxury hotels in the Lake District. Read your newspaper, access your lap top whilst drinking a glass of wine or continental beer, from our extensive collection.
