About Glenville House
Glenville House occupies a Victorian building on Lake Road in Windermere, with just seven rooms giving it the feel of a small, personally-run guesthouse rather than a big hotel. The period character has been kept simple throughout, with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and drinks in the room, plus free WiFi for anyone needing to stay connected.
Mornings start with a full breakfast, and a packed lunch can be arranged for days out walking or cycling in the surrounding countryside. There's a garden and outdoor seating for relaxing back at the property, along with 24 hour reception, luggage storage and free on-site parking. As an adults-only address, it suits couples and those after a quieter stay.
Windermere's lake and fells are on the doorstep, with golf, fishing, horse riding and watersports all nearby, plus pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach for evenings out. It's a straightforward, well-placed base for exploring the Lake District rather than a destination in itself.

What guests say
Stayed here for 2 nights, overall a good stay but some little things would've improved it - the bathroom door didn't close, a couple of lights didn't work, we were only provided with one toilet roll and there was none in the excess basket downstairs. Accessibility was the biggest issue, we had a room on the top floor and no lift + lots of stairs and heavy doors made taking our bags upstairs a very difficult task!

Had an amazing time at the Glenville House. We stayed at the apartment, it’s one of the few properties out there that look bigger in person than in the photos. We had a small issue the first might at 22:30 and the owner arrived to sort it in less than 5 minutes of calling. He was a great guy. Kitchen was well equipped and the hot tub was high quality and the included off site leisure centre was the cherry on top. Would highly recommend if you’re seeking exceptional value for your money.

I attended a “Lakes Retreat” instantly arriving I was welcomed with smile, offered a drink & help with getting my bags to my room. “Holly” was on the top floor at Glenville House. What a treat ! Gorgeous room with fridge, tea/ coffee making facilities & just relaxed straight away. The bed was comfortable, all clean & set for a great start on Maria’s (the owner of Glenville House) yoga retreat! I can’t put into words how much I needed some of the soul sister hood vibe Maria catered for. Friendly group & she went above & beyond to make us all as relaxed as possible! Thank you so so much for our few days in a stunning place of the world to have some R&R X

Self check in which was nice and easy. The room was a good size with a nice size bathroom with complimentary toiletries. The only reason 4 stars was the mattress felt quite worn and a bit bumpy. Pillows and duvet were nice and comfortable. The carpark is small but there was enough space for our work van which was a very welcomed relief really didn't want to walk after a working day and a long journey. The rubber duck on the side of the bath made me smile 😊 liked this little touch. A short walk to the town centre that has lots of choice for food and drinks. Would definitely return
