Southview Guest House

Nestled in the centre of Windermere yet tucked away in a cul-de-sac away from the traffic, Southview is a delightful bed and breakfast style accommodation with the added benefit of a private indoor pool for the exclusive use of guests. Southview’s fabulous location means that you are within a couple of minutes walking distance from Windermere town’s fantastic array of independent shops and restaurants, and the train station is a three-minute walk away.

The B&B is 2.5 miles from the pier at Bowness-On-Windermere where you can hop aboard a Lakes Cruise. Other attractions within a 20-minute drive include Wray Castle, Brockhole, Dove Cottage, and Rydal Mount. It is worth noting that this guest house does not accommodate children under the age of six.

Additional Facilities & Services

Southview has its own private swimming pool that is exclusively available for the use of hotel guests. The heated indoor pool is adjacent to the outdoor patio and in warmer weather the doors are opened enabling guests to stroll between the two. The pool is 8 metres by 4 metres and is heated to 28-29 degrees. Secure cycle storage and outdoor clothing drying facilities are available. The car park at Southview is quite small and during peak periods you may need to double park and leave your keys with reception who will move your car for you as required.
