The Lamplighter has been part of the fabric of Windermere since the Tasker family first opened the doors over three decades ago. What began as a commitment to honest, quality hospitality has grown into one of the most loved and enduring venues in the Lake District.
Housed in a traditional Lakeland stone building dating back to 1865, The Lamplighter wears its history well. Original features, grand fireplaces, high Victorian ceilings, large sash windows and the wonderful William Morris wallpaper that runs throughout sit alongside a warmth and character that no amount of modern refurbishment could manufacture.
Today, The Lamplighter offers a celebrated restaurant, an elegant bar and lounge, south-facing terraces and eleven beautifully appointed en-suite rooms. It is, in every sense, a proper Windermere institution.
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.
A genuinely welcoming Windermere bar. Lakeland ales, premium spirits, cocktails and a sun-facing terrace. The closest bar to the train station and the hardest one to leave.
Eleven en-suite rooms above one of the Lakes’ finest dining rooms. Breakfast included, free parking, and the whole of the Lake District on your doorstep.
The latest from the kitchen, the bar and beyond. From seasonal menu launches and special events to a glimpse behind the scenes at The Lamplighter.
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.
