Which town is best to stay in Lake District?
The two best places to stay are probably either Ambleside or Keswick. Both have several nice hotels, and are a compromise between touristy and a little quieter. I might lean towards Ambleside a little more – I think it’s prettier, and it’s a touch more central. Which is better, Windermere or Keswick? It depends on your needs, but both are beautiful lakeside towns. Windermere is more developed for tourism and has a large selection of accommodation, in particular at the luxury end of the market.Which is Better, Keswick or Windermere? Windermere is the more touristy of the two towns with lots of day trippers arriving by coach. Keswick is known for mountain scenery and walks that are easily accessible from the town.
