Location
About the surrounding area of Windermere WondersAn easy walk from Bowness-on-Windermere the Lodge is perfectly situated. There are a number of local craft stores and shops selling local produce and gift options. Then after a day enjoying the unbeatable beauty of the Lake District, head down to the Fizzy Tarte for a glass of champagne, or delight in the fine dining options at one of seven of Cumbria’s Michelin-starred restaurants, such as L’Enclume in the nearby village of Cartmel.
Known as the adventure capital of the UK, the Lake District has activities to keep everyone busy, including sailing, horse-riding, kayaking and hill walking. No trip would be complete without taking in the stunning Lake Windermere, with endless options by air or water from a breath-taking experience in a Gyroplane to a relaxing ride on one of the many steamers available at the pier at Bowness-on-Windermere.
Why not combine fine dining with boating by going aboard a Sail’n’Dine experience where you can drop anchor in a secluded bay and enjoy a beautifully prepared meal with a glass of wine.
Hire a local bike and enjoy some of the western shore cycling routes of Windermere and Grizedale Forest which are particularly good for family-friendly routes. Not to be missed is a visit to the famous adventure playground of Brockhole on Windermere set within stunning historic gardens offering woodland aerial obstacle courses and watersports.
For those looking for a little culture, why not take a visit to the Bronte Parsonage Museum, or take a tailor-made tour that will drive you through the significant Cumbrian sights of Britain’s famous authors.
The scenery itself is enough to keep anyone entertained. Set off from Windermere to the top of Orrest Head, a local beauty spot that offers the breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, a rewarding treat for a family friendly twenty-minute climb.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we made great use of the sauna! Highlight of our stay was having a glass of champagne whilst watching the sunset at the dinner table.
