August is the Perfect Time to Get on the Water

With long summer days and spectacular scenery, August is the perfect time to experience Lake Windermere from the water. Whether you’re looking for adventure or simply want to sit back and soak up the views, there’s something for everyone.

Set sail on a scenic cruise, hire your own boat, try paddleboarding or kayaking, or enjoy the ultimate experience with a private skippered yacht charter departing directly from Lakeside’s private jetty. It’s a truly unforgettable way to explore England’s largest lake and discover hidden bays, picturesque islands and breathtaking mountain views.

After a day on the water, return to Lakeside to unwind with a spa treatment, enjoy dinner or simply relax on the terrace with a drink in hand as the sun sets over Windermere.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation or a little of both, August is the perfect time to experience everything Lakeside Hotel and the Lake District have to offer.
