Lakeland walks, right from our front door

A variety of walks start from our doorstep, from those suitable for little legs to more ambitious day-long hikes. A section of the Lake District National Park’s ‘West Windermere Way’ walk loops past the hotel, and is part of the ‘miles without stiles’ promise, making it the ideal accessible after dinner stroll, a quick run out with the dog or a family-friendly stretch of the legs.
