Trip travelling northwards to visit the market town of Keswick on the shores of beautiful Derwentwater and calling at Grasmere, which lies at the very heart of the beautiful Lake District.
In the heart of charming Grasmere, you'll find the tiny Sarah Nelson Gingerbread Shop located in the grounds of the pretty parish church - made to a top-secret recipe, this sweet treat is popular with visitors - don't be put off by the queue!

Relax with a day at leisure in Windermere. Perhaps enjoy a stroll through the town and down the hillside to the village of Bowness on the shores of the lake - you can always catch the bus back up to the top as the bus station is just opposite our hotel.
Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to Grange-over-Sands. A quiet seaside retreat on the tip of the Cartmel peninsula, this is a pretty resort with a truly Edwardian flair and mild climate.

Windermere Hotel
Overlooking the shores of England’s largest lake, the English heritage-listed Windermere Hotel has been welcoming guests since 1847 and is a firm favourite with visitors to the Lake District to this day. It is the perfect place from which to explore the lakes, and many of the region’s most stunning walks can be started nearby. The hotel’s period charm is sharply contrasted by its modern amenities, giving its guests the best of both worlds. With breakfast and evening meals available, guests can enjoy fantastic and varied menus in the restaurant, and after spending time discovering the local area, why not have a nightcap in the Orrest Head Lodge bar? The lodge has wonderful views of the lake, and you can soak up the relaxing atmosphere as the sun goes down at night.Location: Kendal Road Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere, LA23 1AL
