Jay’s Nest is nestled in the busy Lake District village of Windermere, set back from the main hustle and bustle but only 10 minutes-walk away from great bars, shops and restaurants
Our accommodation makes the perfect base for lovers of the outdoors. You will be able to enjoy easy/moderate walks straight from your door to the hills around Windermere, such as School Knott, Orrest Head & Brantfell with stunning lake & mountain views. For more serious hiking, a short drive & you are at the foot of some of Lakelands highest peaks.
Windermere, Bowness & the surrounding area abound with pubs, restaurants & cafes, all just a short walk away. The owners have tried them all & are happy to advise on the best!
We have a variety of activities close at hand – paddle boarding, sailing, mountain biking, e-biking, all available to hire locally. Alternatively relax on a lake cruise on one of our splendid steamers, or hire a self-drive boat and picnic on the shore.
