Welcome to Glencree - Your Cozy BnB in Windermere, England

Glencree offers a unique honesty bar feature where guests can enjoy casual drinks on an honor system, a setup not commonly found in similar hotels.

The property provides free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi, and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture overlooking a brook.

Each room at Glencree is individually designed with dedicated decor and en suite bathrooms featuring free toiletries from The Lakes.

The suite with hot tub offers a separate sitting area with an electric fireplace, and some rooms have scenic woodland views or a balcony.

Breakfasts are cooked to order using high-quality local produce, with options including a traditional full English, vegetarian, and continental choices. Guests pre-order breakfast the night before using a tablet in the room, and the meal is served promptly at the requested time in the breakfast room. The hotel also provides special diet menus upon request and a vending machine for snacks.

Glencree sits between the villages of Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, each a 15-minute walk away, with the shores of Lake Windermere reachable in 10 minutes on foot. The property is on the hop-on hop-off bus route for exploring the Lake District further afield.
