The Ryebeck Hotel - A lakefront Arts & Crafts hotel with landscaped gardens and seasonal dining

Overlooking Lake Windermere, The Ryebeck Hotel occupies 2 hectares of landscaped grounds with views toward Claife and the Coniston Fells. Rooms include garden-view doubles and lake-view superior options, some with direct terrace access or baths with Lakeland tea and homemade biscuits. The Lake View Restaurant serves British dishes like Cumbrian venison, while the Giddy Goose Bar & Grill offers locally sourced meats and cheeses. Dogs receive welcome packs, and guests can explore nearby attractions like Windermere Jetty Museum (2 km) or stroll to Bowness Bay. The property also features a lounge with pale-grey walls and stripy-velvet sofas.

Pros

Direct access to Lake Windermere and proximity to water-based activities like kayaking.

Dog-friendly policy with welcome packs provided for pets.

Ground-floor rooms offer terrace access and partial lake views.

On-site dining includes seasonal British cuisine at the Lake View Restaurant.

Cons

Some rooms have limited or no lake views.

Ground-floor rooms are the only pet-friendly options.

“This is a surprisingly stylish place, where vibrant murals meet classic comfort, and you're only a short walk from the lake. I especially appreciate that dogs are welcomed with open arms-beds and treats included; plus, the lake views are simply stunning. A truly welcoming escape with personality.”
