Mere Lodge

About this property

Wow – what a view! Mere Lodge is beautifully decorated with stunning views across Lake Windermere from its enviable lake front position at Fallbarrow Park. Mere View offers a comfortable and cosy retreat from which to simply relax, unwind and admire the scenery. Sleeping four people, you will be wanting to live outside as much as possible and just head out onto the gated deck, where you can relax in the outdoor furniture and have a coffee or a glass of something whilst you gaze across lake Windermere. The open plan spacious living and dining area is stylish and welcoming. Fallbarrow Park sits on the eastern short of Lake Windermere, in a picturesque woodland setting with views across the lake and up to the fells all around. The popular, cosmopolitan village of Bowness-on-Windermere is 0.2 miles walk away – you can be there in under ten minutes! From Bowness Pier you can start an unforgettable day out on the water with Windermere Lake Cruises – board a beautiful cruiser and hop on and off or rent a canoe or a motorboat. Bowness is home to many shops, bars and restaurants too. Fallbarrow has on site bar, restaurant shop, and deli should you wish to stay local to your lodge. There’s a children’s play area, beer garden, picnic area and woodland walks. Further afield, drive up to Windermere village – two miles away, or the bustling market town of Ambleside four miles away. You are only four miles from Troutbeck village at the foot of the Kirkstone Pass which winds its way up over the high fells and then down to Ullswater. We can't think of a nicer location to begin your Lake District holiday.

The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
