The Dozy Deer

About The Dozy Deer

Windermere draws visitors for its lake and fell walks, and The Dozy Deer offers a small, adults-only base a short way along Woodland Road from which to explore them. With just six rooms, it has the feel of a quiet retreat rather than a large hotel, and its position in the town puts the shops, pubs and restaurants of the area within easy reach.

Each room is en-suite and comes with drinks provided, and the house has a garden with outdoor seating for guests who want to sit outside rather than head straight out. Free WiFi is available throughout, and reception operates around the clock for flexible arrivals and departures. There is no parking on site, so anyone driving will need to make separate arrangements.

The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, with routes for both close by, and fishing, golf, horse riding and watersports are all within reach for guests who want to get further out onto the water or into the countryside. Pubs, restaurants and other entertainment nearby mean evenings can be spent without much need to travel far.
