Built in 1847 the oldest houses in Windermere, the Cottage guest house is a careful blend of the modern with the traditional. We have retained many of the original features built into the guest house, whilst still providing our guests with modern day comforts. It benefits from a superb position being only a 2-minute walk from the mainline train and bus stations and with many pubs and restaurants on the doorstep.The world famous Lake Windermere and the shores of Bowness bay are only a leisurely twenty minute stroll.

Our anniversary getaway 💕
We would happily go there again.
The breakfast was so plentiful, that we didn't have any lunch for the 3 days that we stayed!

A lovely property with warm, welcoming and attentive staff. Easy to park and come and go as you please. Breakfast options great and this place offers great value in the middle of Windermere and for accessing The Lakes.
