Description

Broadlands Guest House is a delightful Victorian Lakeland stone mid-terrace property, offering beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors. Ideally located just a minute’s walk from the heart of Windermere village, and within easy walking distance of the ever-popular Bowness-on-Windermere, the property enjoys a superb central position.

The guest house seamlessly combines modern fixtures and fittings with a wealth of original Lakeland features, preserving its traditional character and charm throughout. It currently offers five well-appointed letting bedrooms, each benefiting from contemporary en-suite facilities.

In addition, the property includes a separate open-plan living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen, and spacious owners’ accommodation comprising two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite), providing comfortable and practical private living space.

Situated just off the main thoroughfare of Windermere, and only a short stroll from Bowness, the property is perfectly placed to take advantage of the area’s extensive amenities, including a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants, bars, and a theatre. The shores of Lake Windermere and the wider Lake District National Park are also within easy reach. For everyday convenience, Windermere’s train station, bus routes, doctor’s surgery, and primary school are all within walking distance.
