    It was amazing. Traveling with my adult daughter we felt like we were at home. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The room was everything that was promised and it was perfectly cozy.

Dawn & Stephany
A warm welcome awaits you at the Broadlands Windermere, an award-winning, family-run, guest house situated on a quiet road in the heart of Windermere Village. Our traditional house is just a leisurely 20-minute walk from lake Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, and a short drive from Ambleside, Grasmere & Kendal. We are also situated less than a 10-minute walk from the train and coach station, and the open top bus can be caught nearby, making us an ideal base to discover what the beautiful Lake District has to offer. Many walks can also be started from our home, one of which has spectacular views over Lake Windermere, and many amazing cafe's/restaurants & shops can be found just moments away, serving a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner. All of our guests' rooms are equipped with ensuite facilities, cosy towels & bedding, complimentary toiletries, a hair dryer, smart TVs, free Wi-Fi and a hospitality tray stocked with a selection of tea, coffee and biscuits for our guests to enjoy. We also offer additional items on request such as fans and electric blankets. PLEASE NOTE: Our home is a typical English home, with rooms on the first and second floor, which are only accessible by either one or two flights of stairs (We do NOT have a lift/elevator) We are also now a ROOM ONLY establishment, therefore, no breakfast or meals will be served, however, there are many cafes just a minutes walk away that serve breakfast.
The guest house is owned and ran by Dawn & Stephany, a mother and Daughter team. We both live on site, so are generally around if you have any questions or need any help. Our main aim here at our guest house is to make sure all of our guests have a lovely time and feel right at home during their stay with us here in Windermere. We hope to see you soon!
