Rocklea is a traditional Lakeland Stone guest house built in Windermere in 1853, which enjoys a tranquil setting by the side of Mill Beck as it flows from Orrest Head through leafy woodland finally ending its journey in Lake Windermere.We are ideally situated in a quiet area of Windermere yet only a few minutes walk from the village centre, bus and railway station.
Services
Breakfast is served in our attractive dining room with individual seating and table arrangements for your privacy. Enjoy a good selection of quality products, freshly prepared and cooked to a high standard served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Full Cumbrian breakfast of: Bacon, Award winning local sausage, Free range eggs Hash brown, Fresh tomato and mushrooms.
Windermere Steamboats & Museum is located on a former sand wharf site where, for many years, barges unloaded gravel dredged from the bed of the lake. When this operation ceased in 1975, the Windermere Nautical Trust acquired the use of the site and the Museum was built in 1976-77 with the help of The Maritime Trust and the English Tourist Board.

It was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for some where to stay in the Lake District, this is the place you want to be. The service is impecable. Excellent customer service. They pay attention to your needs and the place is spotless. If you are looking for a place which is clean and wholesome this is the place for you. They clean the rooms everyday and provide clean towels for each day as well. Breakfast setting is lovely and the food is great too. I would recommend this place to everyone.
