A Windermere B&B with a Bit More Character

WINDERMERE B&B

Accommodation Windermere

Sleep well, wake up to a full Cumbrian breakfast included in your rate and step outside to find yourself already in the heart of Windermere village, two minutes from the train station, with free private parking on site.

This is a Windermere B&B that earns its place on the itinerary.

Guest Reviews

Michelle - Google Review
The location was very convenient as it is near the train station and walking distance to other restaurants. The bed was very comfortable. They clean the room daily. They also provide delicious food at the restaurant and the staff are very nice and accommodating.

Our 1st stay at the Lampli hotel and how we wish we had stayed before, excellent service and very pleasant staff only too willing to make our stay enjoyable especially Dawn couldn't be a more helpful person with knowledge of surrounding area and bus routes. Extremely comfy beds so much so that we are looking into purchasing the same mattress for home.
