Autumn Leaves Guest House, hotel in Windermere

Housed in a historic building, Autumn Leaves Guest House offers accommodations with a garden and free Wifi in Windermere, 1.1 miles from World of Beatrix Potter.

The guest house is in an amazing location! Very close to a bus stop that will get you all around the lake district, a 10 min walk from the train station, and just around the corner from the main busy street of the town. Windermere is a classic cute stone town of the area and on one of the lakes. The owners who run the guest house are both just lovely people! They offer a full English for 10£, which is a great price for the area. We were on the move both days, so we missed the breakfast, but it's worth taking it for those wondering about price. The room had windows that opened and kept the room plenty cool, even though we were there on warm, sunny days. We would definitely return.

    The location is great for exploring the area. It's really near Bowness, a charming little town with lots to do. The house is private and quiet with space for three cars parking. The description is accurate in a factual way. There are toys, games and DVDs - nice. Good for a family gathering but it would be cramped for seven adults.
