A celebrated restaurant, a characterful bar and eleven beautifully appointed rooms, all in a Victorian Lakeland stone building in the heart of Windermere.
One of the finest places to eat in Windermere. Locally sourced, home-cooked and served with genuine Cumbrian warmth, from lazy lunches to candlelit à la carte evenings.
Lakeland ales, premium spirits, crafted cocktails and a sun-trap terrace that’s hard to miss. The closest bar to Windermere station, and the hardest one to leave.
Eleven en-suite rooms, brimming full of character. Wake up to a full Cumbrian breakfast, step outside and you’re already in the heart of the Lakes. Free parking included.
The Lamplighter has been welcoming guests for over 35 years. What started as one of Windermere’s most beloved restaurants has grown into something much more: a proper destination where you can linger over dinner, stay for a nightcap in the bar and wake up the next morning to a full Cumbrian breakfast without going anywhere.
Run by the Tasker family since the beginning, this traditional Lakeland stone building dates back to 1865 and still has the original features to prove it; grand fireplaces, sash windows, high Victorian ceilings and the kind of atmosphere that modern builds simply can’t replicate.
We’re right in the centre of Windermere village, just two minutes on foot from the train station. Whether you’re arriving by rail, road or simply wandering in from the Lakes, you’ll find us easily and we’ll have a table or a room ready when you do.
