The lakeside town is split in two, with Windermere Town around 1.5 miles from the lake at the top of a steep hill, and the village of Bowness-on-Windermere that sits on the eastern shore. We also call at Ambleside at the head of the lake - a popular town with walkers and filled with independent shops and cafes.

The holiday was fine, the hotel was ok. Visited all the main attractions of the Lake District, some were better than others. Would recommend as a holiday but not staying at County hotel Kendal.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.
