About The White House Windermere

The White House is a contemporary room-only accommodation option inside a Grade II-listed building in central Bowness-on-Windermere. The historic shell has been renovated with a modern, design-led approach while retaining period character. The property has twelve individual rooms plus a separate cottage, making it feel more like a boutique urban stay than a traditional full-service Lake District hotel.

There is no conventional hotel restaurant or breakfast operation to build your day around, which suits visitors who want to use the cafés and restaurants of Bowness instead. Its Robinson Place location is extremely central. Room facilities vary, so check the exact room description when booking, particularly if a hot tub, bath layout or other feature is important.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A stylish central option for travellers who want a boutique room and the freedom to eat out rather than a traditional hotel package.
