FAQs about hotels in Lake District

Poetic Artistry at its Best

The inspiration behind many a poet, the serene Lake District has majestic peaks and glorious lakes that form the UK’s largest and most visited national park.

A particular favourite of Wordsworth, Windermere is England’s longest lake and her waters are still plied by historic boats. With a range of luxury Lake District hotels and a Beatrix Potter Museum, the town is connected by cable-operated car ferry to a spot close to Near Sawrey where Miss Potter once lived. Near the lake’s northern tip is popular Ambleside, home of the Stock Ghyll Force waterfall.

A road goes north from here past picturesque Grasmere and Thirlmere lake to Keswick. Set by Derwent Water, this pretty town is overlooked by Skiddaw, while Scafell Pike – England’s highest mountain – is to its south-west. Bassenthwaite lake is north-west, and Glenridding to the east is on the shores of the popular sailing spot of Ullswater, watched over by Helvellyn.

In the Southern Lakes, Coniston is a small village by a lake offering watersports. South-west is the port town of Barrow-in-Furness, and also by the sea is Grange-over-Sands with its long promenade. Kendal is known for its tasty mint cake and has a museum of Lakeland life, as well as a good range of Lake District hotels with pools on Booking.com.

The location provided easy access to the main part of town as well as the harbor area. Easy to walk about town for a leisurely stroll. Dining options at the hotel were great - breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of cold foods being available as well as hot foods from the menu. Best full English we had on our trip! Dinner choices were also very good, particularly on the fixed price menu. All in all, we had a lovely stay at the hotel. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

I attended an afternoon tea birthday party and from the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional, friendly, down to earth and that was every single staff member. The grounds are beautiful and well worth exploring. I decided to stay the night rather than a long drive home in the evening and again, the room was perfectly presented with everything that I needed plus more. Cleanliness was superb and the view from the room was wonderful. Excellent shower.

Quaint and very English lovely little town with heaps of natural beauty blending nicely with lots of modern bars alongside the more traditional pubs with their log fires to welcome you in…There is also a wide and varied range of restaurants and check out the Cinema…art-deco with big old plush velour seating…and a half time interval to allow for the ice-cream seller to tempt you with a little pot of indulgence…

I visit Windermere on a regular basis to dance the Argentine Tango at the Ladyholme Centre not far from the town itself. While there i have stayed in a variety of accommodation and have always had a good experience. The distance between Windermere and Bowness is only a walk of around 20 minutes. Buses are frequent within the area. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in and around the town to choose from and it is a safe place for Solo travellers to explore.

A lovely, peaceful town with friendly locals, nice pubs, and great walks nearby. In the town itself, we didn’t find many places where our dog could be off-lead, but there are some nice shops to explore. We stayed at the Grange Hotel — a lovely, dog-friendly hotel with a gorgeous interior and a massive room. On our first night, we arrived late and got a takeaway from Grange Charcoal Grill, which we wouldn’t recommend. On the second night, we ate at The Commodore Inn: my partner’s dish was lovely, but my pizza was overdone. We had breakfast at Tide Café, which was lovely and highly recommended. Everything is in walking distance. Definitley take a walk up to Hampsfell Hospice - you can find the route from Grange on the web - easy to follow.
