Lickbarrow Lodge is a country house at the edge of a private, five-acre woodland, on a quiet lane just 1 mile from Windermere and Bowness villages and an easy, twenty-minute drive from the motorway. The house, built in 1912, was designed by the renowned Arts and Crafts architect, Dan Gibson. The house has been recently renovated and the owners, Adrian and Elizabeth Legge, have been most careful to preserve and enhance the original Arts and Crafts features, the hallmarks of which are simple design, beautiful materials and fine craftsmanship. Lickbarrow Lodge is not an hotel, nor a guest-house - the house is our family home in which we offer the choice of Self-Catering or Bed and Breakfast accommodation in either the unique self-contained Studio apartment or the charming guest-room. Breakfast is served at the large oak table in the Library where, in cooler weather, we light a log fire.
Guests are welcome to explore the woodland pathways and secluded glades in our extensive private grounds and we have plenty of parking space. Our garden offers views of The Old Man of Coniston, Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and the Langdale Pikes and, just a short stroll away, footpaths take you to local viewpoints for magnificent Lakeland panoramas and stunning mountain sunsets.
The Guest Room (for 2 occupants) is available for Bed and Breakfast. The room is furnished and decorated in a style reflecting the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement, with iron double bed (standard-size, with electric underblanket) and oak floors with sheepskin rugs. Radio, TV, DVD and tea and coffee making facilities are provided and the spacious, thoroughly modern en-suite shower-room has an invigorating multi-jet shower. The windows look out onto rolling fells and a distant view of the magnificent Langdale Pikes.
There is also a studio room available, this is usually used for self-catering but is also available for bed and breakfast guests. |
