Low Wood Hotel

Low Wood Hotel is an 18th-century coaching inn that was frequented by the Lake poets and writers, with an extension added in 1859. The building features a long range along the lakeshore, primarily consisting of three storeys. The main block at the centre has nine windows on the top floor, each topped with a projecting gable. The window above the entrance is part of a taller, tower-like section that includes a roundel dated 1859 above the roofline. The ground and first floors have some double or triple sash windows, and an iron balcony spans the centre four bays, supported by coupled piers. On the south side, a three-storey wing extends towards the lake and features a lean-to verandah supported by clustered columns and Gothic imposts. The ground floor has two large open pointed arches with slender colonnettes, and the design includes Tudor arched windows, Gothic labels, iron balconies, and an ogee-headed niche.
