The Macdonald Old England Hotel and Spa lies on the shores of England's largest lake, and boasts unrivaled views of Windermere. Beautiful scenery abounds in this treasured countryside, and guests have much to thank Beatrix Potter for this. Potter used the proceeds from her children’s books to purchase the surrounding land in the area she loved so much, leaving it all to the National Trust. The Old England Hotel Windermere is a grand building of magnificent Victorian splendor. It has an extravagance of space and height rarely seen in later establishments, built when British industry dominated the world.

The elegant Victorian mansion at the heart of the Old England is superbly furnished with fine antiques and period features. Its 106 bedrooms offer you a relaxing nights sleep. Enjoy a drink in the bar, then dinner in the candlelit Vinand Restaurant, which provides panoramic views as well as fine fare. Gardens (with outdoor games of draughts) lead down to the hotel's own jetties. This Windermere hotel offers conference and training facilities that can be tailored to suit your needs. The reconfiguration and total refurbishment of former conference rooms have created four different sized meeting rooms, from small syndicate room seating four to a large training room holding up to a hundred. The meeting spaces at the Old England Hotel Windermere all contain state of the art technology including plasma screens, electronic screens, video, the very latest sound systems and high speed internet access.

If you want to relax and let the world go by then you have come to the right place. Stroll by the lake, take a cruise or just relax in the superb lounge, which has that old world charm that is so hard to find these days. However, the Old England Hotel Windermere offers more than simply a superb position next to England’s largest natural lake. The hotel’s health and leisure facilities include a gym with state of the art equipment and indoor swimming pool. There is also a spa with eight treatment rooms waiting for you to choose one of a broad menu of beauty therapies. Golf is also available nearby.
