The location was super central - close to lots of restaurants in Windermere. We chose to use the open-top hop on/hop off bus service to visit Grasmere, Ambleside & Bowness as the bus stop is close by. The breakfast was big & delicious and the service was super. Thanks for a lovely holiday :)

The room was very comfortable, clean and pretty. The view from a Victorian window on the beautiful garden all the way to the lake was amazing! The bar and restaurant area is quite large, warm and homey. The fireplace was a nice touch as it was a rainy November evening outside.

Windermere was such a beautiful trip for our 3rd wedding anniversary. Fun hikes, gorgeous views of the lake, yummy food everywhere! Homeground coffee was so amazing! Their house blend was delcious! Cafe Italia was a really nice place! Quite pricey but the food was delicious. As a muslim you do have to hunt a little around there but there are halal options in and around windermere like in bowness. The 599 bus is such a convenient way to get around. It comes within 20 minutes of the last one. The boat ride from Ambleside waterfront was so amazing and highly recommended for couples and families!

Windermere and nearby areas in lake district were amazing. If one likes smaller towns amidst nature, wants to hike and oram around, or do water activities along the lake, this location offers variety of activities. The public transport is well connected and long walks or cycling is also possible.

Windermere is separate from the lake that is in Bowness.

Windermere is separate from the lake that is in Bowness. Both communities are interconnected and walkable. It is very touristy but that is part of the energy of the place. Had a great meal at the Flying Pig and pizza at the Tap House. We had the mandatory ice cream and it was worth the line!

Lots of tea rooms and a few nice restaurants. A little bit pricey but food is good. big shops Sainsbury’s and the co op. A good base to use for going to ambleside and keswick and south to Bowness if you use the buses they are every 20 mins Monday to Friday .weekend a bit longer. Cheap fares to get to the other tourist areas . I was lucky I have a seniors bus pass . So saved the bus fares.

Windermere is a lovely spot but a tourist trap. There are better locations based on quality and proximity to good walks. Its a good place to start but people seeking a good base for walks are advised to look a little further north (but not far!)

Windermere is a great location as a base for exploring the Lake District as it is a hub for rail and bus routes. Days out using the buses is far less stressful than using a car - see the views, and have no worries about parking etc. Do look at the map. Windermere IS NOT next to Lake Windermere - but a long walk / bus journey away to Bowness-on-Windermere. Windermere is quieter, but still with many shops/cafes . By contrast Bowness-on-Windermere is a very popular destination for coach-trips, with many "tourist shops" and the starting point for many ferry/cruises onto the lake. My choice would be to stay in Windermere and then have a half day visit Bowness-on-Windermere.

The location itself is excellent, in the Lake District, close to Bowness on Windermere, and walks out the backdoor to Brant Fell and others. The Oaks itself is so relaxing, quality furnishings, fabulous kitchen with four ovens... and dining area, numerous lounge rooms so everyone can find their own space if they wish to, so no one on top of each other. The bedrooms with en suite showers and toilets were just perfect. I would not hesitate to book again and return. And then of course there was the view...

Applegarth Villa Hotel is located in a beautiful and central location in Windermere. The suite ‘Great How’, which we stayed in was extremely luxurious, including a hot tub on the balcony, a SPA bath with TV, a lounge area with TV, a comfortable and cosy bedroom with TV, two balconies with views of the Windermere mountains and many other facilities. The restaurant and bar facilities were also excellent, with a wide selection of delicious ‘gluten free’ options for breakfast and dinner.

We cannot fault The Penn at all, it is so conveniently located if you are wanting to explore what Windermere has to offer. I was a little sceptical about the self check-in at first, but it actually makes the stay super easy! The room was beautifully styled, spacious and comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel had ample parking out the front and the complimentary fudge was such a nice touch. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back 😊

The location of this hotel offers fabulous views of Lake Windermere but it is ‘out of town’ requiring taxi journeys for evenings out. The spa is lovely but I was shocked at how few people shower before using the pools.
