Winner of the AA's 'Funkiest B&B' award for 2009/10, these boutique-style suites offer designer luxury, with 42-inch LCD TVs, crystal lights, iPod docking stations and free Wi-Fi. With a 5-star Guest Accommodation rating from the AA, enjoy luxury bathrooms and modern designer furniture at the elegant Windermere Suites. A hearty Cumbria platter or continental breakfast is served in your suite every morning. Windermere Suites is a 2-minute stroll from the main village's shops and fine restaurants. Also within walking distance is Bowness-on-Windermere, home to the 'World of Beatrix Potter'.

The Howbeck Hotel is next door, where you can enjoy dinner in the restaurant. There are attractions and activities within easy reach, either by car or on one of many organised trips, some of which pick up from the hotel. The railway station in Windermere is an easy 5-minute walk away.

Breakfast is served in your suite at your chosen time (must be ordered from the room service menu in advance). There is a huge choice of cooked foods, cold meats and cheeses, cereals and drinks. From February 2009 there will be a room service menu with a table d'hôte menu, available from 12:00 until 21:00. You can also dine in the Howbeck restaurant, where reservations are needed. Each suite also has a well-stocked minibar with a selection of drinks and snacks.
