Kayaking in the Lakes

Kayaking in the Lake District

Keen to try kayaking in the Lake District? 

Whether you’re gliding for the first time or a seasoned paddler, the Lake District offers some of the country’s most scenic waters to explore and our collection of luxury holiday cottages makes a perfect base for your adventures. Much like a tandem kayak, our properties are built for two, four or more to enjoy in comfort.

The Lake District is rich with kayaking opportunities that bring you closer to its awe-inspiring landscapes. Paddle across the tranquil expanse of Coniston Water beneath the watchful eye of the Old Man of Coniston, or explore the quieter western shores of Lake Windermere where woodland and wildlife flank the water’s edge. For an atmospheric escape, head to Derwentwater where island-hopping by kayak reveals secluded beaches and views back to Keswick framed by rugged peaks.

Try your hand at a guided session for a confidence boost, or simply hire a boat and chart your own course. And when the day’s adventures end, retreat to your luxury cottage for a hot soak and a fireside evening in blissful comfort.
