Hotels in Windermere, the United Kingdom

The main forms of public transport in Windermere are buses and trains. There isn’t a very comprehensive bus or train network through the town, as it’s such a small place; instead, the buses and trains all stop at Windermere Train Station. Other main transport stations are in the Waterhead, Lakeside, Troutbeck and Newby Bridge neighbourhoods, but you’ll likely have to walk a little way to get to them from your hotel. For this reason, we recommend hotels in Windermere that are as close to the train station as possible, such as at Broadlands Guest House.

If you’re travelling for leisure purposes and want to make the most out of your holiday, there are plenty of cheap hotels in Windermere that you can choose from. Try Yha Hawkshead or The Brown Horse Inn, both of which are cosy establishments at good value for money. If you’re on a quick business trip or just need to be in the centre of town and want a clean, efficient, business-oriented hotel, a good choice is The Rothay Garden Hotel. It also has a coffee shop and a restaurant on site, so you won’t have to waste any time going out to eat.

Windermere is known as the birthplace of Beatrix Potter, so The World of Beatrix Potter is one of the main attractions in the town. Other than that, the town’s location on the edge of Windermere Lake is its major claim to fame. It’s a large, naturally formed lake in England and a significant landmark in the Lake District. You can book one of the popular lake cruises there. A short hike from the town will take you to a renowned viewpoint, Orrest Head, where you'll have a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. A good choice of Windermere hotels to take advantage of the town’s natural attractions is Lakes Hotel & Spa.

Windermere isn’t a very busy town, so its selection of bars and restaurants isn’t what you’d find in a larger city; but the ones you’ll find here are top quality and showcase local produce and craft beers. There’s Crafty Baa Windermere & Keswick, a very popular pub in town, and for dining out you can choose The Lamplighter Dining Rooms; the latter is attached to a hotel that you can book also. The Windermere Speakeasy is also a very popular meeting spot. These are all near the central area of the town, so you can also book somewhere like Lindeth Howe to be close by.
