When is the best time to go to Windermere?

The best time to visit Windermere really depends on what you're hoping to experience, but generally, the summer months from June to August offer the warmest weather and the most opportunities for outdoor activities. For those who enjoy swimming, boating, and sunbathing, July and August are ideal, with average temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius. This is when Windermere Lake is at its most inviting, and you'll find all the water sports operators are in full swing. It's also a great time for hiking and exploring the surrounding fells, with longer daylight hours. If you prefer a quieter trip with fewer crowds and don't mind slightly cooler temperatures, late spring (May to early June) or early autumn (September to early October) can be wonderful. The landscapes are particularly beautiful during these shoulder seasons, with spring blossoms or autumn colours.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Windermere hotel for you.

Quality Inn SeaTac Airport-Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff and airport shuttle. Nice property"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"I will start off with the staff the representator her name was Shar, if it wasnt from her I would not use this hotel again. She was very helpful and attentive to my needs. I was there on 9/2/2026. Before checkin the 1st person that talked to me was no help. She didnt give me any information about the hotel or anything else. I want to give praise of an employee when it is warranted. The hotel is on a strip of other hotel. Getting to the port was easy because I used the hotel transportation but other people chose to Uber and it costed them $70. The outside of the hotel is clean but once you step off the property you are on your own."
