About this property
1 Park Road invites you to stay in a striking Victorian home from 1883, set right in the centre of Windermere within the Lake District National Park. This impressive three-storey property offers six individually styled en-suite guest bedrooms, generous communal areas, and plenty of space for groups who want a characterful base with heritage, atmosphere, and room to settle into the rhythm of Lakeland life. The entrance porch leads into a spacious lounge where the tall bay window fills the room with natural light. Here, soft furnishings, period details and abundant seating create a welcoming setting for evenings spent sharing stories, reading, or planning the next day’s adventures.
The dining room seats up to thirteen guests, making it ideal for long breakfasts or special-group meals, while the adjoining kitchen is fully equipped for large gatherings, offering ample workspace, generous storage, and everything required for home-style cooking. The living area leads out to the rear patio, giving you a sheltered corner for morning tea or a quiet moment outdoors. The basement provides a versatile space for games. Each of the six guest bedrooms has its own look and feel, with en-suite shower rooms and thoughtful touches to enhance your time away. Front-facing rooms enjoy glimpses of the Lake District fells.
Outside, there is off-road parking for four cars, with further roadside spaces nearby, and Windermere’s shops, cafés, pubs, and train station are all just a short stroll away. For days out, Windermere offers Orrest Head, a rewarding climb with far-reaching views; The World of Beatrix Potter, celebrating the stories and artistry behind the beloved tales; and Lake Windermere cruises, giving you a fresh perspective on the water and surrounding peaks. In Kendal, explore Kendal Castle, with atmospheric hilltop ruins; Kendal Museum, home to natural history, archaeology, and local heritage; and the Brewery Arts Centre, where film, theatre, and exhibitions fill the calendar.
Across the Lake District National Park, discover Grizedale Forest with its sculpture trail and cycle routes; Aira Force, a dramatic waterfall walk framed by ancient woodland; and Dove Cottage in Grasmere, where Wordsworth lived and wrote. Choose 1 Park Road for a memorable Lakeland stay where history, space, and location come together for a truly special experience.
