Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal where your flight lands (Terminal 1, 2 or 3), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, with a sign showing your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.
Windermere is the main gateway to the southern Lake District, a town on the eastern shore of England's largest lake, with the steamer piers at Bowness a short distance away. The drive from the airport heads north along the motorway, then takes the lake-district link road through Kendal. The last miles are on narrow and winding roads. Summer weekends, school holidays and bank holidays bring very heavy traffic and parking is limited in Bowness and Windermere, so the driver stops at the hotel entrance or nearest permitted point.
Windermere town and Bowness-on-Windermere are about a mile apart, joined by a main road. Bowness has the lake front, steamers, boat hire and the World of Beatrix Potter attraction, while Windermere has the railway station and a smaller centre. Hotels are in both and on the hills between. The Lake District's fells, Ambleside and the Langdale valley are within a short drive. The area is busiest in summer and in autumn, and some roads can be affected by winter weather.
Public transport: The usual route is by train to Oxenholme and a branch line to Windermere, with a change.
