Where to Stay

The rural nature and popularity of the Lake District (also known as The Lakes) have led to the availability of a wide choice of accommodation including farm house cottages, bed and breakfasts, inns, and luxury hotels.

For those looking to stay close to Windermere, a good selection of lodgings can be found in and around Ambleside, Bowness and in the village of Windermere itself. North of Windermere, the village of Grasmere, once home of the poet William Wordsworth, also offers a fine selection of places to stay.

Visitors to the Northern Lakes would do well to consider Pooley Bridge or Glenridding, both of which are situated on Ullswater. Although slightly further away, Penrith is also convenient for touring the Northern Lakes. The market town of Keswick is located close to Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water, and provides a convenient, central base for exploring the Lakes.
