Windermere village has everything you could need during your Lake District self-catering holiday. You'll find a superb Booths supermarket for stocking up the kitchen, offering a high-class range of local produce as well as everyday favourites.

There are also a few excellent Lakeland pubs in Windermere, where you'll sample the local ale.

A couple of (walkable) miles down the road you'll find the more lively village of Bowness, on Lake Windermere's shores. There you'll find a wider range of shops and attractions, including hire boats, traditional row boats and Windermere Lake Cruises on Tern, Teal and Swan - the famous 'steamers'. There's also the option to take a romantic evening cruise, with buffet meal and live music on board.

If you only choose one Lake District walk during your holiday in Windermere, take a short trek up Orrest Head. The walk begins in the village and offers incredible views over Lake Windermere from the top.
