In beautiful Lakeland surroundings overlooking an idyllic brook, Glencree is situated between the villages of Bowness and Windermere. With free parking and free Wi-Fi, it serves hearty breakfasts cooked to order. Guests can swim in the property's off-site pool.
Bright and warmly furnished, rooms at Glencree are individually designed and feature en suite bath or shower rooms with free toiletries and a hairdryer. A flat-screen TV is featured in every room, along with tea and coffee-making facilities. Some rooms enjoy scenic woodland views.
