We’re always happy to help you plan your stay and offer the best available rate.

Built in 1847, making it one of 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 two‑minute walk from the mainline train and bus stations, with many pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, yet still retaining a quiet and peaceful setting.

Our Aim

Our aim is to offer a welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated home‑from‑home for guests exploring the heart of the Lake District. We strive to blend the charm of a traditional cottage with the convenience of modern comforts, creating a peaceful base where visitors can relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of Windermere.

We are committed to:

Warm, attentive hospitality that makes every guest feel genuinely cared for
Clean, well‑equipped, and cosy spaces designed for rest and ease
Local insight and support to help guests make the most of their stay
A calm, friendly environment that reflects the spirit of the Lakes
Whether guests are here for walking, sightseeing, or simply unwinding, our goal is to ensure their stay is memorable for all the right reasons.
