Windermere Stays
Simple comforts, stunning views, and a breath of Lake District air

Hello and welcome — we’re so glad you’ve found us here in the beautiful Lake District.

Hospitality has been part of my life for more than 35 years, beginning in my family’s holiday park business and growing into a lifelong passion for helping guests enjoy this incredible part of the world. Since 2007, my husband Derek and I have owned and managed our own holiday park in the Lakes, surrounded by peaceful countryside, wildlife, and the fells we’re lucky enough to call home.

At Windermere Stays, we offer a small collection of quality self-catering accommodation in a quiet rural location just 10 minutes from Bowness-on-Windermere — the vibrant heart of the Lake District. Our location gives guests the perfect balance: tranquillity and space to unwind, with shops, cafés, lake cruises and walking routes all within easy reach.

Our holiday lets include:

  • A cosy studio — perfect for couples and short Lake District breaks
  • A spacious one-bedroom apartment — ideal for guests who want a little extra comfort
  • A new holiday lodge (coming soon) — designed for those looking for a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the fells

We’re surrounded by breathtaking scenery, peaceful lake shores and miles of walking and cycling routes, making our accommodation an excellent base for exploring Windermere, Ambleside, and the wider National Park.

We love sharing our local knowledge — from scenic walks and hidden viewpoints to the best places to eat in Bowness, Windermere and beyond. Whether you’re here to hike, paddleboard, explore, or simply relax, we want you to feel completely at home.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Windermere Stays and help you create wonderful memories in this beautiful part of the Lake District.
