Introduction
The Thorneyfield aims to cater for the needs of all visitors within the confines of a traditional Victorian built 3 storey mid terraced building.
We currently are a 6 bedroomed bed and breakfast house with possible plans to add a further guest room.
The following statement is a summary of our provision; if you have any specific questions then please feel free to call us and we will do our best to help you.
Pre-Arrival
- There is a bus stop between 200 - 250 meters from the entrance along a level path. There are frequent buses to Grasmere and Keswick at one end of the journey, or to Kendal and Lancaster at the other, with frequent stops along the route.
- There is a bus timetable at the bus stop and we also have a copy of the timetable displayed on our notice board.
- The nearest rail way station is Windermere which is 4½ miles away with frequent services to Oxenholme (Lake District), which is the main line station.
- Our website shows pictures of all of our rooms, which are situated on the first and second floors. Although the stairs are wide with a gentle climb, disabled guests should bear this in mind.
- You can contact the Thorneyfield Guest House by either telephone or email
