Lake Windermere

Stretching 11 miles, Windermere is the longest body of water in England. A variety of boats cruise around the area, constantly taking visitors from shore to shore. The water is loved by rowers, windsurfers, swimmers, and all kinds of water sports enthusiasts – but the lake’s surrounding trails are a paradise for both hikers and wanderers.

    Lake Windermere is very popular and can be busy around the Jetty areas where people take a trip on the water. Just out of town the Lake Jetty Museum show some beautiful boats that have seen time on the water. There is also a trip you can purchase there. For motor fanatics, the motor museum just out of town shows a very extensive selection of cars bikes and motor vehicles of all areas. They also show the world land and water speed records made by the Campbells. Definitely worth a visit if you are Into that kind of thing. A cafe is available. Parking is a available at both places.

    Although Windermere has the most transportation options,...

    Although Windermere has the most transportation options, restaurants, hotels and shops, it is extremely crowded with big city traffic. Neighboring lakes are just as it more charming and much quieter. This was my first time to the Lakes District, and I would skip Windermere in the future for other lakes.

    Windermere is the largest natural lake in England.

    Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial trough after the retreat of ice at the start of the current interglacial period. It has been one of the country's most popular places for holidays and summer homes since the arrival of the Kendal and Windermere Railway's branch line in 1847. Historically forming part of the border between Lancashire and Westmorland, it is now within the county of Cumbria and the Lake District National Park.

    This is a nice, local owned guest house. Very quiet (top floor) with bathroom en suite. Right on the main road, so great access by car. Parking 200 feet away, GBP19 for 3 24 hour days, free after 6 PM. Walking distance to the boat rental/ride dock. Walking distance to at least 30 restaurants and pubs as well as a couple of convenience stores. Highly recommended though far from deluxe, very comfortable and supremely convenient location in Bowness near Lake Windermere.

    The hotel location and quality of service was excellent. We asked for a view of Lake Windermere from our bedroom, and the view was stunning. The only fault with our stay was that the spa, which was part of the reason we booked this hotel, was unavailable or fully booked.
