Lake Windermere Hotels

The undeniable highlight of Windermere town is the nearby lake. Lake Windermere isn’t only the king of the Lake District’s lakes, it’s the largest body of water in the whole of England. Stretching for 10.5 miles between Ambleside and Newby Bridge, is lake plays host to all kinds of fun, frolics and water sports. It’s a favourite amongst sailors and boaters who want to work on their sailing skills, and is never short of windsurfers. It’s been a popular tourist spot for centuries, pulling in the crowds since the first steam trains chugged into the town’s station all the way back in 1847. Why not book yourself a hotel in Windermere overlooking the lake and really make the most of that incredible view.

Avoiding the Crowds
