Sykes Cottages Windermere

Popular Features
Sleeps
Close

Windermere is one of England's most visited destinations and for good reason. England's largest natural lake sits at the heart of the Lake District National Park, surrounded by fells, woodland and some of the country's most spectacular scenery.

Our Sykes cottages Windermere collection covers a wide range of self-catering properties, from cosy lakeside retreats to spacious houses perfect for family gatherings. Whether you want to walk the Cumbrian fells, sail on the lake, or simply take in the views, there's a property here to suit.

Windermere town and nearby Bowness-on-Windermere offer boat hire, ferry crossings, restaurants and independent shops. Our properties put you right in the middle of it all.
