Luxury guest house accomodation, licensed, evening meals, excellent location with some wonderful extra touches, environmental award

Set in a quiet residential area of Windermere and but a short stroll to Windermere, Mary and Philip have perfected a Michelin Enviromental award winning guest house to offer superb facilities, wonderful food and escellent hospitality. They offer all those extras guests expect in a luxury guest house that was once a gentleman's residence- use their private car park and then as you walk into the hall, the blend between modern and traditional is apparent. On the landing, the original stained glass windows with fresh flowers on the window sill and the tiled floors in the hall. The overall feeling is one of tranquillity which many guests comment on. Music is important to Philip and Mary, the caricatures of Philip as a Music Director, music of varying styles often playing in the lounge or the grand piano available for guests to play. Sit in the lounge to read your newspaper,try one of the puzzles, play the grand piano or choose a CD from one of Philip's wide selection whilst drinking a fine wine or continental beer.
