Topping many a list of the best-loved destinations in the Lake District stands Bowness-on-Windermere where you’ll find The Angel Inn, and Oakbank House, in this beautiful corner of Cumbria.

An easy amble from the shores of England’s largest lake Windermere, this classic inn has sweeping views above the jolly bustle of the village below. Take a seat in our large pub garden and drink in the sights over the lake and Claife Heights to the Langdale Pikes beyond.

Brilliantly placed for easy access to the very best the Lake District has to offer including England’s tallest mountain Scafell Pike and deepest lake, Wastwater. Follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter with The World of Beatrix Potter set just around the corner.

You’ll fit right inn at this charming property, which is open all day, every day for hearty pub food and delicious drinks showcasing where possible the best tastes of Cumbria.

Please note, we offer complimentary parking in The Angel Inn car park for accommodation guests staying overnight only.

Your dogs are more than welcome at The Angel Inn! We have designated dog-friendly areas of the pub and restaurant, including beer garden with spectacular views across Bowness-On-Windermere and the Lake beyond! We have water bowls and treats available – including our selection of Sir Woofchester’s dog food range.

We also offer pet-friendly hotel rooms in our Oakbank House annex rooms, located just across the road from the main inn. We try and keep accommodation rooms in the main inn pet-free. Please let us know whether you will be bringing a pet at the time of booking to ensure availability. Your four-legged friend can be added to your booking for £15 per pet, per night.
