Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Property is a bit tired, some of the furniture couches chairs worn. However the hotel was clean and welcoming. Possibly introducing a continental breakfast would go down well. I would possibly stay again. Easy walk to town centre."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful stay yet again at the salutation hotel. The location of the hotel makes it an ideal stay to visit Ambleside. Perfect to park the car when you arrive and no need to use it again for your stay. Having a spa within the hotel is a bonus and the standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel is exceptional. We stayed in a room at the front of the hotel , which yes there is a little street noise , but nothing you wouldn’t expect staying in a town centre , and certainly didn’t keep you awake at night - in fact it was probably one of the highlights of our room - people watching below and the beautiful fells in the distance. Breakfast is a real treat , excellent selection of hot and cold food and drinks , there is everything you could possibly want for breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - everyone greats you with a smile and are most helpful. Having visited the Lake District from childhood staying at campsites, lodges, cottages and b&b’s , I can honestly say this is my favourite place to stay. Thank you to the team at The Salutation Hotel , hopefully we will return soon."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Loweswater is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Loweswater, there aren't traditional 'cheap hotels' within the immediate vicinity of the lake itself, as accommodation tends to be more geared towards guesthouses, B&Bs, and self-catering options. Instead, look for more affordable stays in slightly larger villages or towns nearby that still offer good access to Loweswater, such as Cockermouth or Keswick.Cockermouth, a charming market town just a short drive from Loweswater, offers a selection of guesthouses and smaller inns that can be more economical. Solo travellers will find its town centre walkable, with local shops and pubs providing a pleasant evening atmosphere. From Cockermouth, you can easily reach Loweswater by bus or, if you're feeling adventurous, cycle along quiet country roads.Keswick, though a bit further afield, is another excellent option, often having a broader range of budget-friendly B&Bs and hostels due to its popularity as a Lakes base. Solo travellers can enjoy the vibrant setting, explore the town's independent shops, and walk along the shores of Derwentwater.
How much does a budget hotel in Loweswater cost?
Budget hotel prices in Loweswater vary, but you can find a great deal from £56 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates. Typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Loweswater?
The most affordable time to visit Loweswater is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to October), as well as the quieter winter months (November to early March), excluding the Christmas and New Year period. These times offer lower prices on accommodation and fewer crowds, allowing for a more peaceful and budget-friendly experience.During spring and autumn, the weather can be pleasant for walking, with fewer visitors than in the peak summer. Solo travellers will find that guesthouses and B&Bs often have more availability and better rates, and many attractions, though potentially operating on reduced hours, are still accessible. The natural beauty of the area, with blooming wildflowers in spring or vibrant foliage in autumn, adds to the appeal without any additional cost.Winter, particularly outside of the festive holidays, presents the lowest prices. While some smaller local businesses might have limited opening times, the dramatic winter landscapes offer a unique appeal for those who enjoy crisp, quiet walks.
Is Loweswater a budget-friendly destination?
While Loweswater, located in the Lake District, is generally considered a destination with higher travel costs, visitors can certainly enjoy its serene beauty on a budget with some thoughtful preparation.For accommodation, instead of staying directly in the heart of the Lake District's more popular towns, consider booking a cottage or guesthouse in the quieter villages surrounding Loweswater. Areas just outside the immediate national park boundaries can offer better value, and many are still within a short drive of the lake itself. Solo travellers might also find more affordable options in hostels located in nearby towns like Cockermouth or Keswick, which are well-connected by local bus services.Couples can significantly save on activities, as Loweswater's primary draw is its stunning natural landscape, which costs nothing to explore. Enjoy scenic walks around the lake, pack a picnic to enjoy by the water's edge, or embark on a hike up one of the surrounding fells. Many of the local pubs offer reasonably priced, hearty meals, superb for refuelling after a day of outdoor adventure.
What free activities should we do in Loweswater?
Loweswater, set in the stunning Lake District, offers a wealth of free activities superb for budget-conscious solo travellers. The natural beauty of the area is your playground, with numerous opportunities for exploration and enjoyment without spending a penny.Walking is the quintessential free activity here. Solo travellers can embark on the serene Loweswater Circular walk, an easy 4-mile route that takes you around the lake's perimeter, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding fells and woodlands. For a more challenging hike, consider ascending Mellbreak, which provides panoramic vistas of Loweswater, Crummock Water, and Buttermere. You might also explore the quiet lanes and footpaths that weave through the valley, discovering secluded spots ideal for quiet contemplation or photography.Another fantastic free pursuit is wild swimming, weather permitting. Loweswater itself is a beautiful and relatively peaceful lake, superb for a refreshing dip in its clear waters. Just remember to be mindful of local guidelines and water conditions. Additionally, simply finding a picturesque spot by the lakeside for a picnic with provisions bought from a local shop can be a wonderfully relaxing and cheap way to spend an afternoon.
