Glenburn Hotel & Restaurant

The Glenburn Hotel & Restaurant is a delightfully presented accommodation housed in an elegant Edwardian property that is conveniently located half way between the town centres of Windermere and Bowness-On-Windermere. The current proprietors have owned and managed the property as a family business since 2008, and during this period they have undertaken a full, high quality refurbishment of the entire property.

The hotel now offers 16 rooms available on a bed and breakfast or half board basis with a delightful restaurant open for evening service only. The hotel is within walking distance of Lake Windermere and there are a number of popular attractions that are within a 30-minute drive including Dove Cottage, the pretty village of Grasmere, and Brockhole, the Lake District National Park Authority’s fabulously equipped visitor centre.

Accommodation

There are 16 rooms available at the Glenburn, all refurbished to a high standard and beautifully presented with richly coloured fabrics, bright feature walls, and contemporary furniture. All rooms are either double or twin with the exception of two family rooms that sleep three or four people. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and some of the deluxe / premier rooms benefit from spa baths and rainforest showers. These rooms also offer additional space and some include four poster beds. In-room amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat screen televisions, and a hospitality tray that includes biscuits and bottled water.

If you are travelling as a larger family or group, you may wish to consider the hotel’s self catered property, River Cottage. The cottage is located within the grounds of Glenburn and overlooks a small stream. The cottage has two double rooms and one room with bunk beds. There is an open plan lounge / dining room, a small but fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms. There is also a balcony and a patio area with a BBQ.

Restaurants & Bars

The Glenburn has a small restaurant where hotel guests can enjoy breakfast each morning, with a selection of hot and cold items available. In the evenings, the restaurant serves a three course menu with a selection of classic British dishes that use the very best of local Lake District produce. A children’s menu is also available. Dietary requirements can be catered for but the restaurant does request that if you require something other than vegetarian or vegan that you provide 48-hours notice. There is also a small lounge bar with comfortable seating.

Additional Facilities & Services

It is possible to hire the entire hotel for a private function for up to 36 guests, and catering can be arranged. Various extras can be ordered for your arrival to make your break a bit more special, such as a bouquet of fresh flowers, handmade chocolates, champagne, a beauty bag packed with essentials, or a day tour of the Lakes.

The hotel has an arrangement with the Burnside Hotel in Bowness-On-Windermere, a mile away from the Glenburn. Guests of the Glenburn can enjoy complimentary use of the Burnside’s spa facilities that include a gym, pool, sauna, steam room, and a bar. Treatments must be booked and paid for separately.
