The Lake District is one of the most beautiful places in the UK for a holiday or a short break. Two of our hotels in Windermere put you right on the doorstep of the National Park, ideal for your Lake District summer holiday.
The area around Low Wood Bay and The Wild Boar has some of the most stunning scenery in the world. Beautiful rural villages are a feature of the area, so too the array of great places to eat in the Lake District.
Lake District holidays for walkers
One of the main reasons why the Lake District is so popular for summer holidays and short breaks is its choice of fell walking trails. And there is something for walkers and ramblers of all ages and abilities.
You can hike up Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, or simply take more leisurely walks around the lake shorelines. Just ask at hotel reception for a walking map of the area and the best routes to take. Our friendly team members are really knowledgeable and will be more than happy to help.
More things to do when on holiday in the Lake District
Whatever your age, you are sure to find something exciting or relaxing to do in the Lake District. Whether you are into water sports, boating or hiking, you are spoilt for choice. Hire a boat and spend the day leisurely bobbing on the water. Or opt for something more adventurous like water skiing, wakeboarding or paddleboarding.

The peace and quiet of a Lake District summer holiday
Life can be hectic, particularly if you live in a town or city. So the Lake District, with its fells, forests, lakes, mountains and beautiful wide-open spaces, provides you with the ideal reprieve from modern-day life.
Get away from TVs, computer screens and busy tourist attractions. Here, you can be at one with nature, relishing the absence of traffic noise and crowded places. Enjoy our peaceful, quiet and idyllic surroundings. They are the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of working life.
Great places to eat in Windermere
Weekend breaks in the Lake District provide a haven for foodies, and you will be truly spoilt for choice. There are many places to dine too, from historic pubs serving an unbeatable Sunday roast, to Michelin-star restaurants. They can offer you some unforgettable dining experiences.
The Lakeland towns and villages offer a bright and wonderful selection of quaint cafes, quirky bars and so much more. We recommend sampling the best of our locally sourced produce such as Lakeland fell bred lamb. Sample our organic fruit and vegetables and, of course, the famous Grasmere Gingerbread.
