Broadlands Windermere

Nestled in the heart of the English Lake District—now a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site—Broadlands Windermere is a multi-award-winning guest house that captures the charm of a bygone era.

Set within a classic Victorian stone residence dating back to around 1885, this welcoming retreat sits on a peaceful lane just a two-minute stroll from Windermere’s village centre. A leisurely 20-minute walk takes you down to Bowness-on-Windermere, where the shimmering lake awaits.

Inside, each room has been thoughtfully styled with crisp, white cotton linens and plush bedding, along with a private en-suite bathroom stocked with fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries. Modern comforts include free WiFi, a hairdryer, and a handy tea-and-coffee station in every room.

Broadlands proudly holds a 3 AA Gold Star rating, a testament to its consistently high standards. From the property, lovely views stretch out over Ellethwaite Park. Getting around is easy: an open-top local bus picks up right at the end of the road, while the train and bus station is under a 10-minute walk away.

For those driving, free on-street parking is available on Broad Street, and there’s a public car park just across the road. Please note, the house has no lift, so guests should be comfortable climbing one or two flights of stairs.
