Stunning.
Stunning. If you're in Bowness and look north towards the mountains north of Ambleside, it's one of the best views in the UK. There is also a viewpoint a little way north on the road from Bowness to Ambleside.

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.

It is beautiful, sunset over Windermere very relaxing. We did a yellow cruise to the south of the lake . around 40 min sail, so peaceful. Our 4 day trip wasn't long enough, but then it never is. Can't wait to go back

Very clean. Extremely friendly hosts and fabulous breakfasts. Great location - very close to Lake Windermere. Superb choice of places to eat within walking distance.
The Old England hotel is in a wonderful location next to Lake Windermere in the town centre of Bowness-on-Wiindermere , where we had a large clean room with a very comfortable bed and serves a delicious breakfast.
The breakfast was served buffet style with a good choice. The evening meal offer for two people was good value.
The hotel provides a wonderful view of Lake Windermere, particularly from the terrace.
Fabulous hotel we loved our stay. Lovely room with balcony and garden view. Amazing breakfast with plenty of choice, cooked perfect. Welcoming and friendly staff. Great location walking distance from lake Windermere
Great location, room was perfect very spacious and quiet, within walking distance to Bowness and Lake Windermere. Apartment had everything we could need and the spa access was a really nice touch! Will definitely be returning.
The hotel is lovely and the room we where in had a beautiful view of Lake Windermere. This is our 2nd visit to this hotel and the staff are amazing and can not do enough for you. Mizumi restaurant in the hotel is the best around. We ate in the on both nights and again fantastic staff.
The apartment was fantastic, the decor and theme were brilliant, the rooms were immaculate. I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone that's looking to stay near lake windermere. It was a few minutes walk away from the lake and based right within the town. The host was great and we will definitely only be staying here when we're down in windermere. Top work guys. I've taken loads of pictures for inspiration to decorate my home. Perfect
