About Fir Trees Guest House

Fir Trees Guest House suits visitors after a comfortable base for exploring the Lake District on foot, by bike or out on the water, rather than a purely functional overnight stop. Set in an 1880s villa on Lake Road, the building retains original period features alongside more modern touches, giving it a character that plainer guest houses lack.

There are nine rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, free WiFi and drinks provided, and a full breakfast is included to set guests up for the day. A garden offers a spot to sit before or after excursions, and practical touches such as 24 hour reception, luggage storage and free on-site parking make arrivals and departures straightforward.

The surrounding area caters well to active and outdoor-minded stays, with walking and cycling routes on the doorstep alongside opportunities for fishing, golf, horse riding and watersports. Pubs, restaurants and other entertainment are all within easy reach, making Fir Trees a practical choice for those splitting their time between the countryside and the town itself.

Spent week here with family. Rooms all en suite and clean. Kitchen good size - maybe could do with another fridge freezer and looks like there was a space for one already. Only catch was there is no formal sitting room, we brought sofa like chairs into dining room but mostly ended up sitting round dining table. Location was great. Probably 10 mins walk down the way towards pier and 10 up the way to another set of shops and restaurants.

We stayed at Fir Trees in early May. My husband and I were cycling around England and Lake Windermere was our last leg. Tim and Vicki are the perfect hosts; friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They both went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and help us prepare for our daily rides in any way they could. The room we stayed in had a bath so we could soak our tired muscles at the end of each day. We didn't ask for a room with a bath, Tim just knew that we would need one. He is so thoughtful, he even washed, dried and folded our clothes for us. Breakfast each day was, again, above and beyond what one would expect. Fresh local produce, wonderful service and Tim's poached eggs were to die for. The food here was better than any fancy hotel we've stayed at. Tim and Vicki really made us feel as though their home was our home too. They are also an extremely lovely couple. We will definitely be staying here again next time we visit the UK. I cannot recommend this lovely place enough. Thanks Tim and Vicki.....Margi and Grant from Tasmania.

Positioned in between Bowness and Windermere this guesthouse is perfectly placed to access each village within a 10 minute walk. Even in heavy snow, it was nice and easy to access restaurants, pubs and bars. The service was very friendly and welcoming, and the room clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and freshly cooked to order with perfectly sized portions. We particularly enjoyed the homemade flapjacks which were much appreciated whilst walking in the snow! Thanks for helping make our stay enjoyable and memorable, we look forward to returning

Absolutely brilliant stay over the bank holiday weekend. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly and really know the area well and gave me great suggestions of where to hike, visit and some indoor attractions in case the weather didn't work out! The room was perfect for my needs as a base camp to rest in between days of walking and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and I was so pleased that there were vegetarian options and the veggie full-English was just the fuel I needed for a long day of walking. 10/10 recommendation and I will be back the next time I visit the Lakes :)
