romantic lake district stays
Experience the Lakes together
The Lakeside sits in a quiet position at the Southern tip of Lake Windermere, right on the shore where, together, you can experience the true peace and tranquility of the Lakes. When you’re ready to venture out, access to the rest of the Lake District, including the bustling town of Bowness-on-Windermere, is easy and scenic via ferry or car.
