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.

Top Windermere Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was great, we showed up early and they stowed our baggage while we explored a little, then had it out as soon as they saw us back. The room smelled so fresh and clean, everything WAS clean, water pressure good, and everything worked as it should. The only slightly off thing was the little mini fridge/cooler didn't quite fit into the cabinet and so the cabinet door wouldn't close all the way, but it wasn't a hazard or anything and the mattress was so comfy!"

Quality Inn SeaTac Airport-Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"I stay here 4 to 6 times a year for these reasons. When the Bellair shuttle takes me to Seatac they come and get me and bring me to the hotel and take me back the next morning for my flight. They're always readily available. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful. The rooms are clean, and priced affordable. I feel safe at this location. Did I mention the staff, they have always been polite and courteous. I have been there only once for their continental breakfast, (I typically need the shuttle at 4 am) the breakfast is fresh and delicious. My only negative is the coffee and coffee maker in the room. The lobby and breakfast coffee is delicious"

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."

Coast Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a one nite stay due to a long layover. It is close to airport and has a great restaurant/bar in a shared parking lot. This was ideal for us to have some drinks, shower, sleep in a bed and be on the early flt next day. It is our second stay and would stay here again. Breakfast is served by hotel and is sufficient for a quick bite. It sure beats buying $15-20 breakfast burgers in airport. Very helpful for budget conscious travelers. Shuttle is helpful to have and is clean, timely, and efficient. They also have free news papers which i really like. Try it."
