Property Details

Lickbarrow Lodge is a country house at the edge of a private, five-acre woodland, on a quiet county road just 1 mile from Windermere and Bowness villages. The house, built in 1912, was recently renovated and the owners, Adrian and Elizabeth Legge, have been most careful to preserve and enhance the original Arts and Crafts features, the hallmarks of which are simple design, beautiful materials and fine craftsmanship. Lickbarrow Lodge is not an hotel, nor a guest-house - the house is our family home in which we offer the choice of Bed & Breakfast or Self-Catering accommodation in either the unique self-contained studio apartment or the charming guest-room. Breakfast is served at the large oak table in the Library where, in cooler weather, we light a log fire.

Lickbarrow Lodge has plenty of private off-road parking. Guests are welcome to explore our extensive grounds, mostly natural mixed woodland, where you will discover a network of pathways and glades providing total seclusion. The garden offers a spectacular view of Crinkle Crags, Bowfell, the Langdale Pikes and, just on the other side of the lake, Claife Heights, so familiar to Beatrix Potter. A short stroll away, footpaths lead to local viewpoints for magnificent Lakeland panoramas and stunning mountain sunsets.

Lickbarrow Lodge is situated high above Windermere and Bowness, yet both villages are just a 20-minute walk away. Windermere is a very convenient base for exploring the whole of the Lake District National Park. We have a wide knowledge of the Lake District and can suggest touring itineraries for each day of your stay and offer plenty of advice on things to do and places to go, including our favourite restaurants and Lakeland pubs. Our aim is to help you make the most of your visit to the Lake District - the most beautiful corner of England.


The Studio is available on a Self-Catering basis. It has a private entrance opening into the single-room apartment. It is fitted withan ingenious concealed IKEA mini-kitchen, equipped with two ring hob, combination microwave oven, refrigerator and sink. Cookware, crockery, cutlery and glassware are provided. The living area has a dining table and chairs, sofa, TV and DVD. The bedroom area has a double bed, beside which is a beautiful French cast-iron stove (the house is, of course, fully centrally-heated). The sofa converts into an occasional bed, ideal for children. The en-suite shower-room has a powerful multi-head shower, WC and hand basin.
French windows open on to the courtyard, delightful for evening drinks.

The Guest Room is let on a Bed & Breakfast basis. This bright bedroom is furnished and decorated in a style reflecting the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement - iron double bed, oak floors, sheepskin rugs. TV and radio, tea and coffee making facilities are provided and the spacious, thoroughly modern shower-room has an invigorating multi-jet shower.
