Our bacon and gluten-free Cumberland sausage come from Woodall's of Waberthwaite, whose antibiotic-free pigs are humanely reared on the Cumbrian Coast; our free-range eggs are from Bannerigg Farm, Windermere. Fair Trade tea, coffee and hot chocolate are served at breakfast and provided in the rooms.
We are happy to provide recommendations for local eateries and maps/books to help plan your activities.

Very stylish hotel with beautiful decor. Obviously a great deal of thought has gone into the interior design. Our room was luxurious but comfortable. Good location with just a 5 minute stroll to shops , restaurants and Lake Windermere. Staff very friendly and helpful.

I was drawn to The Boundary by the quality of the rooms and its modern decor, both of which definitely met expectations. The location is convenient for both Windermere and Bowness, involving a 10 minute walk to either. Breakfast was excellent, with the menu offering a good range of tasty options. If you favor B&Bs, The Boundary is well worth a visit. We decided hotels are more to our taste, so the comment on staying again is not a reflection on The Boundary but B&Bs as a whole.

Great place to stay, however there was a strong chemical smell in our room which was apparently to do with the carpet underlay. Otherwise I would highly recommend it.
