Hotel information

On the first floor there is an open lounge area furnished with Chesterfield sofas, Brinton carpet and original stained glass windows which provide panoramic views across Windermere to the fells beyond. A relaxing area, here you can sit with a book or newspaper and pass the time away, or catch up on the day’s events.

From the lounge, you can descend the original pitch pine wooden staircase to reception which features, again, luxury Briton carpet, hand-made wooden features, a grandfather clock and William Morris wallpaper.

Room information

The hotels main priority is for guests to feel relaxed and comfortable in a fresh and clean environment.

Each of the 16 non-smoking, en suite rooms varies in shape and size, some with roof features and exposed beams, others with high ceilings, no room is the same. Dressed with bespoke soft furnishings, luxury 1200 pocket mattresses, Philips 20 inch flat-screen TV’s, aromatherapy toiletries, hairdryers, iron boards (available at reception), tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities.

There are 4 rooms located on the ground floor and, due to our detached location in Windermere, most of the rooms on the first and second floors have excellent views over trees and roof-tops to the surrounding countryside.

Because the hotel understands that you are here to relax, the lodge provides you with a key so you can come and go as you please. In return, the lodge simply asks that other guests’ relaxation is respected by keeping noise to a minimum.

Food & beverage

The lodge serves a Cumbrian Breakfast which can be enjoyed in either of the 2 bright, spacious and tastefully decorated dining rooms. In one of the rooms is a Grandfather clock which seems to add a little charm every quarter hour when it chimes.

As the lodge is located only 2 minutes from the centre of the town, it has selected to only cater for breakfasts, allowing you the freedom to dine in the many restaurants and bars in the town.

Area information

The Lodge is centrally located in the town of Windermere, originally called Birthwaite until the Kendel and Windermere rail company built a train station in the village and called it Windermere Station, a name which has been associated with the village and lake since.

The train station itself is a site to see as are the cottages built in 1849 for the rail executives and designed by the famous architect Augustus Pugin. One of the cottages even contains a replica of the fireplace he designed in the Palace of Westminster.
