About Merewood Country House Hotel

Merewood Country House Hotel stands at Ecclerigg between Windermere and Ambleside, in extensive gardens that help separate it from the busy A591 corridor. The historic house offers a traditional Lake District country-hotel experience with individually styled rooms, lounges, restaurant dining and afternoon tea. Its location is particularly useful for visitors who want to split time between Bowness, Windermere, Ambleside and the northern end of the lake without changing accommodation. The grounds and country-house character make it a more atmospheric option than a standard roadside hotel.

Before you book: room types, dining times, spa access, pet policies, parking arrangements and package inclusions can change. Check the current property and Booking.com terms for your dates before travelling.
