Kids had an cracking good time here! They loved the playground and really loved a long walk through the grounds. There were loads of paid activities too but we just did the free stuff. The lake views are stunning. Highly recommend going here if you have young kids and need to entertain them for a morning or afternoon. Currently being renovated under new ownership so sadly the cafe was closed but the facilities were easy to get to/find and we're very clean. Parking was easy and cheap too.
Lovely place. Castle was closed but didn't matter, lovely grounds and beach and walks. Nice cafe. Nice views.
Great space adjoining the Windermere Lake. It was January and house and activities were closed. Zip wire and other activities together with gardens and boat trips. Good place for all the family in the Summer.
Brockhole on Windermere is a great day out for everyone. There is a large car park with fair prices and the grounds are beautiful to wander around. The play park is brilliant and completely free to use, and there are also extra activities you can pay for such as the tree top adventures or the tree top nets which are great fun for both children and adults. The café is lovely with plenty of seating and friendly staff, perfect for a drink or something to eat while taking in the views across the lake. You can easily spend a full day here as there is so much to do, from relaxing by the water to hopping on a boat or exploring the trails through the gardens. We would definitely recommend a visit here, it has something for everyone and always feels full of life and fresh air.
Such a great place to enjoy a day with kids. What we love the most is the archery. We booked an hour, but could easily spend another hour to two. Need to book in advance. The host Tom has been so helpful, friendly and fun. There is also forest climbing, different height zip lines, bouncing nets and playground for the little ones. Parking is very expensive but that’s almost everywhere in the region. Don’t understand why.
