Brockhole on Windermere

There is parking for cars and coaches, however, they can be very busy during school holiday times and so can ask you to park elsewhere in the area if they do not have enough space. If you have an activity booked for the day they will try to prioritise your parking, however, they arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Toilets are available inside the Visitor Centre and are open all year round. There are more toilets located on the grounds near the lakeshore centre and in the adventure playground, open from Easter to October. However, they do not have baby change facilities.

If you’re excited to have a break with your four-legged friend, Brockhole on Windermere could be a great place to spend the day. They welcome dogs but ask that owners keep them on a lead at all times.

Dogs on leads are allowed in:

• the gardens and grounds
• the shop and cafe
• the exhibition area

Dogs are not allowed in:

• The Gaddum Restaurant
• the adventure playground
• play and learn room
• Treetop Trek Nets area
• Faerie Trail

Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the site. Please just ask the friendly staff if you need assistance.

At Craig Manor, we have several dog-friendly rooms available to make sure you and your pooch have a comfortable stay.

Brockhole on Windermere is wheelchair accessible and have a variety of facilities available to help you get the most out of your visit. They provide free use of a mobility scooter for use in the gardens and the ‘Brockmobile’ electric bus is available to transport people who have difficulties walking from the car park or jetty to the Visitor Centre.
