Situated just above Bowness village and Lake Windermere, The Fairfield
is set in peaceful secluded surroundings that make it an ideal base
from which to explore one of the loveliest areas in Britain - the English Lake District.

We are just a short walk to the restaurants, pubs, and shops of Bowness village, as well
as the waterfront of Lake Windermere, and nearby footpaths give access to the open
countryside and the fine local viewpoint at the top of Brantfell. The Fairfield is also ideally
located for Dalesway walkers.

The area offers unrivalled opportunities for outdoor activities - sailing, swimming, windsurfing,
fishing, to name but a few. Additionally, within easy reach there is pony trekking, clay pigeon shooting and golf.

The main attractions however, are the lakes and the mountains. England's highest mountain and largest lake in an area of no more
than 40 miles square! You don't have to be a climber or a mountaineer to enjoy the hills - long or short walking tours can be
arranged either on your own or with one of the many experienced guides. An alternative is to join a mini bus tour that meanders
along some of the narrowest country lanes that you will ever see and provides a more relaxed way to view the beautiful scenery.

Within easy reach are Hadrian's Wall, the border city of Carlisle, or Kendal - the gateway to the Lakes. There are many
stately homes, gardens, and museums. On a literary note, the area is of course well known for it's association with
William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Their houses and farms are now part of the National Trust and are open to the
public at various times during the year.
