Location

The quiet residential area of Meadow Road is tucked away and off the main thoroughfare mid way between Lake District hot spots of Windermere and Bowness on Windermere. It therefore remains convenient for all local facilities such as schools, doctors, dentists, opticians, hairdressers and vets as well as the multitude of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs that these two large villages host. Windermere has the advantage of a railway station with good connections to Oxenholme on the main West Coast line and is a central base for exploring the wider Lake District.
