This was our first time visiting the Lake District. We had a wonderful stay at Hillthwaite Hotel. Our room was clean, cosy and comfortable, perfect for a weekend away. Staff were amazing! They were warm, welcoming, friendly and very attentive. Meals were superb, best we've experienced compared to other weekend getaways. Good variety to choose from the menu. Hot chocolate was extra hot, thank you 🤗 We loved walking through the town. Lots of quaint local shops, good coffee spots and restaurants only a 20 min walk from hotel. We'll definitely visit again. Thank you, Hillthwaite, for a wonderful stay.

Applegarth was a great place to begin our Lake District walk. The historical home was gorgeous and well appointed in every aspect. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and linens, location was ideal and central. Hosts and staff friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic at breakfast and for one of our dinners. Highly recommend.

It’s a lovely place. The view was spectacular! The room is so pretty and the bedding is of very high quality. Staff is most helpful. It was raining when we arrived by a car, one of the staff member was standing in the car park with an umbrella - so considerate. Breakfast was delicious. We didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended. Whatever you see, it’s a picture - indoor and outdoor. Super experience.

Lake Windermere

Stretching out for 11 miles, Windermere is the longest body of water in England. A variety of vessels cruise around, steadily ferrying visitors from shore to shore. While the water itself is loved by rowers, wind-surfers, swimmers and all manner of watersports enthusiasts, the lake’s surrounding trails offer a paradise for hikers and ramblers.

    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.
