Is Post Knott Lodge Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The cinema room with Sonos sound system provides entertainment for all ages. Kids can use the gym equipment under supervision or enjoy the matted space for activities. The enclosed lawned garden offers safe outdoor play space. Highchair and travel cot are available on request. The property sits 500 metres from Lake Windermere for paddling and boat trips. Bowness town centre has ice cream shops and The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction nearby.
For Couples
This mansion suits couples travelling together rather than romantic getaways for two. The scale works best for groups sharing the six bedrooms. Panoramic lake views from the Windermere suite create a special setting. The sauna and steam room offer private relaxation. Walk to lakeside restaurants in 10 minutes. The undercover terrace with wood burner provides atmospheric evening drinks. However, the property's size and facilities target larger groups rather than intimate couple breaks.
Pet Friendly
Post Knott Lodge does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-dogs policy across all bookings. The mansion's high-end furnishings and light-coloured fabrics require this restriction. If you need pet-friendly accommodation in Bowness-on-Windermere, you'll need to search for alternative properties. Many nearby cottages and lodges do welcome dogs with enclosed gardens. The owners maintain this policy to protect the property's condition and appeal to guests with allergies.
