Overview:

Lakes Lodge occupies a superb trading position on the fringe of Windermere’s main retail area and close to the railway station. Built in the era of the boom in the rail network in the mid-1800s, the property was originally a bank and then a youth hostel before being reconfigured as a guest house in 1996. A wonderfully spacious property, Lakes Lodge benefits from 10 en suite letting bedrooms complimented by 2 bedroom apartment for the resident owners. Its big plus is its car park as well as its proximity to the railway station, ensuring its popularity as an ideally placed guest house.

Location:

This beautiful part of the country is steeped in character with Lake Windermere only a short journey away at Bowness Bay. Framed by glorious woodlands and watchful fells, Lake Windermere – England’s longest lake – forms a glorious setting which draws many thousands of tourists to this superb corner of England year in and year out. Being in such a wonderfully central location, Lakes Lodge offers an ideal location to enjoy the surrounding area, so loved by the poets – Wordsworth and Southey – as well as being so much loved by Beatrix Potter, who lived for such a long time at Sawrey on the west side of Lake Windermere.

The Property:

Being traditionally built in typical Lakeland style of its era of construction, the property is stone built and under a pitched slate roof with accommodation laid out on lower ground, ground and two upper floors.
