Family-run hotel in Windermere with critically acclaimed dining

Dining Experience

The Lamplighter's on-site restaurant serves a critically acclaimed Sunday roast that was reviewed by The Guardian's Jay Rayner. The menu changes with the seasons and relies on local and seasonal produce, with fresh fish delivered daily. The bar offers a range of guest ales, and the dining room hosts live music events featuring jazz and folk genres.

Accommodations

Each of the 13 spacious rooms has a private en suite bathroom and a TV with tea and coffee facilities. The building has maintained its original features, including grand fireplaces and large sash windows. Premier ground-floor rooms offer a super king bed and a large walk-in shower.

Location & Access

The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Windermere Railway Station and the coach stop, with direct access to the A591 through the Lake District. Orrest Head is a 10-minute walk away, and the famous lake can be reached in 20 minutes. Grizedale Forest and the Lake District National Park entrance are also nearby attractions.

Pet-Friendly & Family Offerings

Well-trained dogs are welcome, and the hotel provides pet bowls and can cook a sausage for them at breakfast. Families can order kids' meals from the restaurant menu and borrow board games and puzzles from the lounge. A designated smoking area is available on the outdoor terraces.
