The property was also residence to Arthur Tuckers family the famous lake District artist whose brother was actually a politician.

Neighborhood info

Ample parking along with restaurants, shopping, cakes coffee and some of the best breakfasts anywhere all within a short stroll. With Lake Windermere and all its attractions such as Peter Rabbit and Cruises are a mere 3 min taxi ride. Very close to the train station and tourist offices. The comfort of your stay will expand further out from just the grounds of the property itself, for The Governance finds itself nestled in the heart of the vibrant shopping district and conservation area of the Windermere Boasting high-quality restaurants and bars offering drinks and cuisines from all around the world, unique shops to peruse no matter your style and noted events and landmarks around the area, it’ll be impossible to find yourself at a loose end of how to enjoy yourself.
