Welcome to LICKBARROW LODGE, WINDERMERE,
an Arts and Crafts House
BED & BREAKFAST and SELF-CATERING ACCOMMODATION
in the heart of the
LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK
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, 20-minute drive from the motorway. The house, built in 1912, was designed by a renowned Arts and Crafts architect
and was renovated in 2004. The owners, Adrian and Elizabeth Legge, have preserved and enhanced the original
Arts and Crafts features, the hallmarks of which are simple design, beautiful materials and fine craftsmanship. Lickbarrow
Lodge is not an hotel, nor a guest-house - the house is our family home in which we offer the choice of Self-Catering or Bed
and Breakfast accommodation in either the unique self-contained Studio apartment or the charming guest-room, both of
which are on the ground-floor and have individual direct access from outside . For those choosing B & B, we serve
your breakfast at the large oak table in the Library where, in cooler weather, we light a log fire. We have
plenty of parking space and can accommodate bikes in the garage.
Guests are very welcome to explore the sunny glades and winding pathways
in our secluded private woodland. Nearer the house, the 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.
Lickbarrow Lodge is situated at 165 metres above sea-level, yet both Windermere and Bowness
villages are just a 20-minute walk away. We have a wide knowledge of the Lake District National Park - Adrian is a Mountain
Leader and local guide, so we can offer advice on things to do and places to go, including our favourite restaurants and Lakeland
pubs and we can suggest touring or walking itineraries for each day of your stay, such as a Beatrix Potter trail or Wordsworth's
Lake District. We aim to help you make the most of your visit to the Lake District - the most beautiful corner of England.
