Swallows And Amazons Tearoom At Bank Ground Farm

We stayed in Beckfoot Cottage for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful building, outstanding views of the lake and mountains and welcoming people. We hired a boat and got out on the water easily after a good safety brief....it was so lovely and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a restorative activity! The internet was strong enough to enable me to stream a movie on the rainy day we had, and we watched it in front of a roaring fire. We did some local hill walking, easily reaching the start points. The 'out '-laws popped by to enjoy a family cream tea feast at Bank Ground Farm 's 'Swallows and Amazons ' Tea rooms. Such a lovely location to stay for a special week of water, nature and rest.

Fantastic location. Excellent rooms, many with lake views. Fabulous food and friendly staff. If you are looking for a good base to explore the lakes, forget busy Windermere this is somewhere to really consider.

My 20 year old daughter and I had a wonderful couple of days here. The staff were so welcoming and helpful we were car free and were planning to walk into Coniston for supper on our first night but they looked at the weather and laid us out a delicious ploughman’s so we didn’t have to brave the torrential rain. We felt so comfortable, well fed and well looked after, it’s a splendid spot. We walked, we swam, we got out on the lake and watching the original Swallows and Amazons film in the comfy sitting room with the lake behind us was just the icing on the cake! Thankyou Rooms: Comfortable beds and lovely hot shower Walkability: Recommend a taxi from Windermere if you don’t have a car £32) 30 min walk into Coniston Noteworthy details: Check if they’re doing supper/if the cafe is open as the food is great but don’t think it’s open every day.
