The Duck lies in the very heart of the Lake District with breathtaking views of the surrounding fells. Perfectly situated within a few minutes drive of Tarn Hows, Coniston Old Man and the Langdale Pikes.

Its location within 60 acres of private land on a crossroads high above Lake Windermere provides a stunning setting for this quite extraordinary Lakeland Inn.
