Brook House -- Free On-Site Car Park
The Hosts
Brook House is run by Liz and Graham, who provide personalized recommendations for walks and dining based on their own local knowledge. Guests receive a pot of tea and a chat upon arrival, with hosts who remember breakfast preferences from the first morning. Liz and Graham offer a lift to Windermere train station for guests who need it.
Accommodation & Amenities
The guest house offers family rooms with garden or mountain views and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. A utility room in the breakfast area contains an iron, drying rack, fans, and hot water bottles for guest use. The dining room is available for consuming takeaway meals in the evening, with disposable plates and cutlery provided.
Breakfast
Graham prepares a full English breakfast each morning with sausages from the local butcher and fresh, locally sourced produce. Breakfast is pre-ordered the previous evening and served at the guest's chosen time, with vegetarian options and special diet menus available. Fresh pastries, juice, fruits, and yogurt are also offered every morning.
Location & Parking
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Windermere railway station and a 17-minute walk from the World of Beatrix Potter. Free on-site private car parking is available for all guests, a significant advantage in the Lake District. Brook House is located in a quiet residential area, a short walk from Windermere's shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Walking & Local Advice
Liz provides printed walk leaflets and detailed directions for local walks that start directly from the property's doorstep. Guidebooks and maps are available throughout the house, giving guests options without needing a car. The hosts also offer recommendations for restaurants in Windermere, such as San Pietro, based on their own experiences.
