The Windermere Hotel, Windermere
The Windermere Hotel
Windermere has been called the ‘Gateway to the Lakes’. With mountains, moors, lakes and tarns it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the splendour of the English countryside, right in the heart of the Lake District.
The Windermere Hotel occupies an excellent location at the head of the village of Windermere itself. Built from traditional Lakeland slate, our hotel is listed by English Heritage, and is one of the oldest hotels in Windermere having opened back in 1847 to coincide with the construction of the local railway.
The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring the local villages of Bowness and Windermere, as well as the beautiful Lake District scenery. Details of a selection of attractions in Windermere and the surrounding area can be found in the Local Attractions section of our website.
Spanning three floors, the Windermere Hotel contains 69 comfortable bedrooms. If you’re looking for that extra special touch, you can choose to upgrade to our stylish new Premier and Superior Rooms. Inside the Hotel you’ll find a warm, intimate atmosphere, and the friendliest of welcomes from our highly experienced staff.
