    Windermere is stunning but parking is atrocious and the most expensive anywhere so my advice is a stay at Keswick or Ambleside where it's cheap as chips. You can't help noticing there were lots of people from China and I mean LOT'S. There were Asians everywhere working in most shops. So my choices are: 1 Ambleside 2 Keswick 3 Windermere. If you want a more relaxing type all the smaller villages are fantastic and peaceful with stunning views and walks.

    Spotlessly clean , hot tub is nice and big and kept very warm throughout our stay, private too, aswell as plenty of outdoor seating. 5 minutes walk from shops and bars but on a quiet street tucked away with a drive for parking the perfect holiday home. Bottle of prosecco on arrival was great too .

    The location was perfect, we parked up the car and left it for the whole week. Parking is a real bonus! Ideal location for exploring with access to bars, restaurants and scenic walks. The house is beautiful and has been furnished to an extremely high standard. The quality of fittings is better than most holiday homes we have stayed in. It was a real home from home and we will definitely return.
