The livelier half of the Lake District National Park, the South Lakes has much to offer for everyone, with a range of family-friendly attractions perfectly complementing the spectacular scenery on offer.
Lake Windermere is by far the area’s most famous lake, offering boat rides, watersports, and lakeside walks along the Windermere Way. Many of the area’s biggest towns and villages can also be found on the shoreline, including Ambleside, Windermere, Newby Bridge and Bowness-on-Windermere.
There’s more to the South Lakes than Lake Windermere however – there’s also Hawkshead - home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Grizedale Forest, Grasmere – home of William Wordsworth and Grasmere gingerbread, Tarn Hows, Coniston Water and so much more to discover.
Explore some of the Lake District’s amazing scenery and best-loved attractions from our South Lakes holiday cottages. Dog-friendly cottages, cottages with hot tubs and family-friendly cottages are just some of the places to stay available amongst our range of self-catering accommodation.
