Lickbarrow Lodge, Windermere, Cumbria, The Lake District

Lickbarrow Lodge is a country house at the edge of a private, five-acre woodland, on a quiet lane just 1 mile from Windermere and Bowness villages and an easy, twenty-minute drive from the motorway.

Guests are welcome to explore the woodland pathways and secluded glades in our extensive private grounds and we have plenty of parking space. Our garden offers views of The Old Man of Coniston, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and the Langdale Pikes and, just a short stroll away, footpaths take you to local viewpoints for magnificent Lakeland panoramas and stunning mountain sunsets.

The Studio (for 2/3 occupants) is usually offered on a Self-Catering basis, though is sometimes available for Bed and Breakfast, at the same tariff. The Studio has a private entrance opening into the single-room apartment. The ingenious concealed Ikea mini-kitchen is equipped with two-ring hob, combination microwave oven, refrigerator and sink. Crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils are provided. Bed and Breakfast guests do not have access to full cooking facilities, though tea and coffee making facilities are provided. The living area has a dining table and chairs, sofa, TV, DVD and radio. The bedroom area has standard-size double bed with electric underblanket. Next to the bed is a beautiful French cast-iron wood-burning stove (the house is, of course, centrally heated). The sofa converts into a 4ft. occasional bed, ideal for a child. The en-suite shower-room has a multi-jet shower, WC and handbasin. The Studio entrance doors open onto a small courtyard, delightful for evening drinks.

The Guest Room (for 2 occupants) is available for Bed and Breakfast. The room is furnished and decorated in a style reflecting the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement, with iron double bed (standard-size, with electric underblanket) and oak floors with sheepskin rugs. Radio, TV, DVD and tea and coffee making facilities are provided and the spacious, thoroughly modern en-suite shower-room has an invigorating multi-jet shower. The windows look out onto rolling fells and a distant view of the magnificent Langdale Pikes.
