When is the best time to go to Windermere?

The best time to visit Windermere really depends on what you're hoping to experience, but generally, the summer months from June to August offer the warmest weather and the most opportunities for outdoor activities. For those who enjoy swimming, boating, and sunbathing, July and August are ideal, with average temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius. This is when Windermere Lake is at its most inviting, and you'll find all the water sports operators are in full swing. It's also a great time for hiking and exploring the surrounding fells, with longer daylight hours. If you prefer a quieter trip with fewer crowds and don't mind slightly cooler temperatures, late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September to early October) can be wonderful. The landscapes are particularly beautiful during these shoulder seasons, with spring blossoms or autumn colours.

Coast Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"We tend to choose this hotel when staying near SEA/TAC. We love the Roasters bar next door and it’s super conveniently located and a reasonable price. Beds are comfortable."

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our family of four. We especially appreciated the valet service, as they took extra care with our accessible van—it just barely fit in the underground parking, so having the valet team assist us gave us great peace of mind. The location was fantastic for our visit. We were in town for an MLB game, and the stadium was conveniently close by. We also enjoyed being able to walk around and explore Pike Place Market afterward. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay, and the friendly valet service was an added bonus for our family."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

8/10 Good

"A great hotel to stay at when you want to be near Pike Market. Just a few minutes away from it. Friendly and kind staff who are willing to help at all times. The only downside was there was only 1 elevator working during my stay. It's not that I had to wait for long, but most of the time the elevator was a bit cramped. Overall, it was a great experience staying at this hotel. Would recommend."
