Windermere

Hotels and Bed and Breakfast in Windermere

Lake Windermere is not just the largest lake in the Lake District, it’s the largest one in England too. You could also argue it is one of the prettiest the area has to offer. Dotted with equally-charming villages and towns on either side, it also offers plenty of water-based activities to enjoy.

The town of Windermere is about a third of the way down the eastern side of the lake. A little further south of the town is Bowness-on-Windermere. This is worth a visit as it is the location of Bowness Pier. Windermere Lake Cruises offers up a selection of wonderful cruise opportunities from here, with easy parking nearby as well. Some of the cruises visit either the far northern or southern end of the lake.

Windermere not only offers a wealth of opportunities to explore and enjoy the many sights in and around the lake, it is also well-placed for exploring the many other delights the Lakes have to offer. Enjoy easy journeys to Lake Ullswater and the famous (or infamous) Kirkstone Pass – the highest pass you can drive along in the Lake District. The charming village of Ambleside – a must-see destination – is also just a mile or so away to the north of Windermere.

Even better is the impressive range of B&Bs available in the Windermere area. With B&Bs suited to all budgets, you are sure to find the right accommodation at the right price. Choose from pleasant budget accommodation or go for something more luxurious. In Windermere the choice is yours.
