A well-connected place to stay if you are relying on buses for transport rather than driving yourself everywhere. Fantastic for natural beauty and walks in hilly green stuff. Day trips to Ambleside (for the sheer number of outdoor shops) and Keswick (for the scenic bus ride) highly recommended.

The hike up Orrest Head was short but had a huge payoff at the top. You can research all you like for good places to eat in the city but nearly everything I shortlisted was closed - just follow your nose or go where the crowds are at. Nothing was particularly outstanding. The desserts in tubs (tiramisu, profiteroles, eclairs, etc.) at all the major supermarkets (Coop, Sainsbury, Tesco) are uniformly very good. There is no M&S anywhere near the area.
The 599 open top bus gives a good tour through many of the towns around Lake Windermere - and goes up to Rydal where you can hike Rydal Cave, which was the most spectacular part of our trip. One can purchase a bus and boat ticket for 12 pounds.
EE SIM cards are available at the Co-op and they have a pretty good data package.

We loved Windermere especially Bowness and the Lakes, we felt like we were in heaven. Can get a crowded with other visitors. Local residents have very good knowledge of the area. We ate at The Lamplighter-very enjoyable meal, booking is recommended. Plenty of good transport, but we chose good old foot power. Well recommended.

Great location, very accessible by train from London, and a good, central base to explore the lake district. Also very well connected to the rest of the lake district via regular bus lines, which take the visitor through amazing scenery.

We loved walking around town and found several good places to eat. We also liked walking down by the lake along the footpaths there. Windermere is a great jumping of point for seeing the rest of the lake district as well.
“Nice location, just beside the tourist center. Interesting way of self check-in. The guesthouse is owned by a sweet couple and they are very friendly! Recommend you to book a Windermere tour from the guesthouse via email in advance, they can give you a discount !”
“Nice hotel overlooking the lake .. Lovely lake view room. the spa jacuzzi was excellent for relaxing in looking out onto the lake ..
Staff were always pleasant and helpful.”
“The hotel & the garden were well maintained. Staff were extremely polite & well deciplined. Best hotel I stayed in UK. Wonderful place to spend your dream holiday.”
“The location is great for someone that wants to travel around Lake District by car, very close to a main road, and a 5 min drive from Windermere village.
The staff deserves a special honour as they were incredible, always showing a sincere concern about we having the best accommodation possible.”
