About The Old Courthouse
Travellers wanting a small, characterful base for the Lake District rather than a big hotel will find The Old Courthouse a good fit. Set in a former 19th-century police station and courthouse on Lake Road in Windermere, it has just five rooms, giving it a quieter, more personal feel than larger properties in the area.
Rooms are warm and comfortable, and a full breakfast is included to set guests up for a day on the fells or by the lake. There's a garden to sit out in, a kitchen and luggage storage for guests arriving early or leaving late, free WiFi throughout, and free on-site parking, which is a genuine convenience in a town where space can be tight. Pets are welcome, making it a practical choice for those travelling with dogs.
The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, with routes on the doorstep, while fishing and horse riding can be arranged nearby. Pubs, restaurants and eateries are all within easy reach for evenings out after a day exploring Windermere and the wider national park.

Lovely stay, room spotlessly clean, very close to all amenities. Management so friendly ans helpful. Would have been nice to have cooked breakfast, but unable due to current situation continental breakfast with hot croissants delivered to room each morning superb. Will definitely go back and recommend

Recently stayed here on business with some colleagues, fantastic central location, a short walk from the local amenities and gorgeous views of the lake. Great facilities at the house, warm, comfortable and well stocked. Fab beds, overall a great stay - Thanks for having us.

Excellent location, 2 minutes walking to the shopping streets, 8 minutes to the pier. 5 en-suite rooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room & dining room. Clean ＆ home like feel. 2 next to house parking spaces, though it is a bit difficult to park bigger cars. We a group of seven enjoyed 3 nights stay here. Thank you.

Nice staff, great location. Really love that our bathroom was an old jail cell with the original door! Lovely breakfast. Free off road parking. And it was nice and quiet. Only downside is shower wasn't powerful, but it was all fit for purpose.
