Glencree

Nestled among the rolling Lakeland fells, with a peaceful stream running right by, Glencree sits quietly between the neighbouring villages of Bowness and Windermere. The guesthouse offers complimentary parking and Wi-Fi, and every morning serves up hearty, made-to-order breakfasts. For a refreshing dip, there’s also access to a nearby pool just off the property.

Each room is individually styled, bright and cosy, with a fresh en suite bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. You’ll find a flat-screen TV, alongside tea and coffee-making essentials in every room, while certain rooms open up to lovely woodland views.

A gentle 10-minute stroll brings you to the calm shores of Lake Windermere, and both Bowness and Windermere’s village hubs are within a 15-minute walk. For those who love to explore, the area is ringed with beautiful fells, and Dove Cottage, once home to poet William Wordsworth, lies just a 15-minute drive away.

Breakfast is crafted from quality local ingredients, offering everything from a classic full English to lighter vegetarian or continental choices.
