Unlock additional savings and benefits by becoming a member, granting you access to exclusive discounts so you can make the most of your Lake District retreat without exceeding your budget.

Where to Stay in the Lake District

The Lake District is dotted with picturesque villages and towns, each offering its own unique charm and character. Ambleside, Windermere, and Keswick are popular choices for visitors, with a wide selection of hotels, guesthouses, and self-catering cottages nestled amidst the stunning scenery.

If you're looking to escape the crowds that the more touristy towns can attract, consider staying in one of the more remote areas of the Lake District, such as Buttermere or Grasmere.

Here, you'll find cosy bed and breakfasts and charming country inns surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and tranquil lakes. Grasmere in particular will often have cheaper accommodation options that the more central towns, so is a good choice if you’re on a budget.

Penrith and Carlisle, while not nestled among the lakes themselves, provide a mix of bigger town amenities coupled with easy access to the natural wonders of the region. Here, you can find accommodations ranging from cosy B&Bs to well-appointed hotels, all within a short drive of the lakes and surrounding attractions.

Kendal is similar on the southern side of the national park, with good shopping and dining options, too.

Insider Tips for the Lake District

  • If you’ve never done the Lakes and are planning a trip without any idea where’s best, choose Ambleside. Most people recommend it for its excellent mix of pubs, restaurants and the scenery right on the doorstep.
  • Parking in Bowness can be pretty difficult during peak season, and it’s pricey, so if you’re driving, make sure you choose a hotel with onsite parking to save circling the town looking for spaces.
  • If your options are limited when searching for a night, try looking for 2+ nights – some hotels have a 2-night minimum stay, and you might find a better option worthy of adding on a night.
