Lakeside Lodge

Lakeside Lodge is a single house, let to one party at a time. The building, the grounds and every facility within them belong to your group alone for the length of the stay, and are never shared with anyone else. It is a Grade II listed Victorian mansion, restored to an exceptional standard and set in its own private grounds on the shore of Lake Windermere.

The house runs across four floors. On the ground floor you’ll find the entrance hall, the drawing room, the bar, a dining room large enough to seat the whole group at a single table, a fully equipped kitchen, and a studio given over to workshops, sessions and creative work. The lower ground floor adds further guest and service space.

Sixteen guest bedrooms sit across the ground, first and second floors. Every one is ensuite, every one has a king-size bed, and a number can be made up as twins to suit how your group travels. Soaring ceilings and original period detail run throughout, while tall windows and open lawns frame the water and the fells beyond. A view that changes with every hour of the day.

Outside, two hot tubs, lawns, terraces and private grounds give the group room to spread out, and Bowness is a five-minute walk away. Catering is handled by our own chefs, with daily housekeeping and an on-site host team in place for the duration of the stay. Two self-contained apartments sit privately within the building; these are kept for our own staff and for visiting instructors, and form no part of the guest accommodation.
