About the Hotel
Merewood Country House Hotel - A 4-star Lake District retreat with two AA rosette restaurants and historic architecture from 1812
Dating back to 1812, this Windermere hotel preserves its historical charm through restored features like the original paneled hall and reception. The property houses 20 individually designed bedrooms across four categories: Ultimate Lake View, Lake View, Four Poster Lake View, and Classic rooms. Two AA rosette-awarded restaurants - Arboreal and The Grill - serve British and European cuisine using ingredients from local suppliers and the hotel's own land.
