Ideally positioned for exploring the Lakeland area, we are situated on a quiet corner, halfway between the busy holiday town of Windermere and Bowness. We look forward to giving you a hospitable welcome to our friendly guest house. We offer bed and breakfast accommodation. We are able to advise on all aspects of your holiday, whatever your interests, and to help you make the most of your stay in this beautiful part of England. The house is a traditional Victorian slate and stone building tastefully decorated. All rooms have en-suite showers comprising family room, twin rooms and four poster rooms. All have colour TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryers, radio alarms and toiletries. There is one ground floor room. Our comfortable lounge is available for you to use at any time. Kirkwood is non-smoking. Windermere and Bowness are bustling towns with interesting street shopping well within walking distance and Lake Windermere is only a short walk away. There are museums, cafes, sporting facilities as well as the breath-taking, ever changing vista of lake and mountains. On the Lake itself there are boats for hire and steamer trips, and a visit to Hawkshead via the Windermere-Sawrey ferry makes an interesting day out, while the energetic will enjoy walking, swimming, golf and tennis. Other water sports can also be arranged. At breakfast we offer a full choice of menu. We are also happy to cater for light diets, vegetarians or other special requirements. There are an enormous variety of eating places in Windermere and Bowness for evening meals. Many local country pubs serve superb, reasonably priced bar meals, and some have interesting local and international beers for you to try! So, for a holiday or break in splendid surroundings both indoors and out, choose Kirkwood Guest House and your hosts Mags and Boyd will make sure you are not disappointed. Kirkwood Guest House is open all year round except Christmas Day. We offer off-season and 3 night breaks. We provide an ideal base for all season Lake District holidays. Autumn, Winter and Spring holidays can be particularly enjoyable with bright, clear days and little traffic. Our proximity to the station at Windermere means that your car is not an obligatory item for your holiday in Lakeland: inter-city trains on the main Glasgow-Euston line stop at Kendal (Oxenholme) with a good connection to Windermere, where there is also a regular coach stop. Once you are here we can help you arrange excellent escorted coach tours to all parts of the area. We also provide details for touring in your car and for some of our many beautiful walks. There is an excellent bus service for getting around the Lakes including the central and north parts of the National park. How to find us...
