Why we love it
The setting
On the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, a few minutes north of Bowness and Windermere village, you'll find Low Wood Bay. Grounds slope down to a private marina, so plenty of rooms — and the terrace — look straight across the water to the fells beyond. The setting is quiet and green, with walking trails and the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole close by. It is an easy base for the central Lakes without being in the middle of the busier tourist streets.
What to expect
The hotel pairs a traditional lakeside building with a large modern spa. There is an indoor pool, a sauna area, and treatment rooms, plus a restaurant and bar overlooking the water. Rooms are comfortable and well kept, with private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi throughout. The Standard Double room comes with a full double bed and a private bathroom. Breakfast can be added at booking rather than coming as standard, so check the board option that suits you.
Things to do nearby
Treetop Trek is the closest attraction at under a kilometre, good for an active morning. Brockhole, the Lake District Visitor Centre, is about 1.1 km along the shore and makes a useful first stop for maps and family activities. Ambleside Pier is around 1.4 km away, with boat services across the lake, and Wray Castle sits about 1.5 km off on the western side. Ambleside town itself is a short drive for pubs, shops and walking routes.
Best for
A good fit for couples who want a spa and a lake view within reach of central Lake District walks. The marina, pool and on-site dining also suit anyone planning a slower two-night break by the water.
