Invergarry Guest House

Localidad

3 Thornbarrow Road, Windermere , LA23 2EW

Invergarry is situated just off Lake Road, 10 minutes’ walk from Windermere and 10 minutes’ walk from Bowness and Lake Windermere, where the steamers offer trips round the lake. The great location makes the guest house a good base from which to explore the lakes and fells of the Lake District National Park. There is plenty to see and do nearby, including steam railways, museums, the Beatrix Potter attraction, the story of Donald Campbell and much more.

Invergarry is about 15 minutes’ walk from Windermere Railway Station and there is also a bus stop directly outside the guest house. During the summer months, the open-top Lakes Rider bus service picks up from this stop on its way to Ambleside and Grasmere. There are connecting bus services at Windermere to Keswick, Kendal and Lancaster.

There are some great walks right outside the guest house’s front door and the Invergarry offers its own local walk books, which will take you to some fabulous viewpoints, one of which is Orrest Head. This is the walk that inspired Alfred Wainwright to compile his well-known guides. On a clear day, you can see almost the full length of Lake Windermere, as well as the distant Fells. The walks range from 2 miles (3.2 km) to 6 miles (10 km).
