Good coffee shop and decent light meals available with excellent location right on lakeshore and no need to buy museum ticket. Car park passcode is required. Coffee was a bit lukewarm even after sending it back for more heat.

Another superb lunch at the Windermere Jetty Cafe. I had Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding Wrap with dirty fries (chips and gravy). Absolutely fantastic. It’s a great place too. Free to park if you go to cafe or museum, fabulous lake shore views and an award wining architecture with gorgeous boats on show

Restaurant was quiet but the view was fantastic and food was delicious. We did visit on a weekend and the workshop was quiet only one man working. I did not see the boatrips running but they may have been, we have had a trip out on our last visit which was good. When you first visit your ticket will last all year. The car park is free if you buy a ticket or visit the restaurant. We will be back.

Pretty good food (to be fair, the avo toast was actually damn good - the toasted pine nuts sent it into another category), coffee was just alright though - stunning views however and so much seating both inside and outside. Nice that it’s besides the museum too, worth looking into there whilst you’re about and that adds a fun element to your breakfast out!

We had a lovely lunch at the Windermere Jetty Museum cafe on a sunny day in June. We sat at a table outside to enjoy the beautiful views. We had a great 30 minute boat trip after lunch, on one of the heritage boats. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Nice small museum ticket purchased lasts the whole year. Paid extra to ride on a 1930s boat on the lake itself well worth a visit if in the area

Being 'disabled' initially I found the entrance hidden. Also having to go outside as part of the tour on a cold February day was a challenge. However all parts are accessible. Cafe very good with cost equalled by quality and quantity. No problem with parking and reception staff most helpful on our first visit.

As two adults, one of which loves boats, it was alright. Was expecting more to see for the price. Only one restoration talk on a Saturday was disappointing as we went in the afternoon. The current Lego exhibit is interesting. Food looked expensive, so just bought drinks and sat outside. All the staff were lovely.
