Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Buttermere?
The best area to stay in Buttermere is right within the village of Buttermere itself, offering unparalleled access to the lake and surrounding fells.

This small village is essentially a cluster of buildings located between Buttermere and Crummock Water. It's incredibly compact, with just a few guesthouses, a couple of pubs, and a cafe. The main road through the village provides direct access to walking paths that lead around the lake and up into the mountains. It's the ideal spot for those who want to step out of their accommodation and immediately onto a walking trail.

Couples looking for a romantic and active escape will find the village of Buttermere perfect. You're surrounded by stunning natural beauty, with opportunities for gentle lakeside strolls or more challenging hikes up peaks like Haystacks or Fleetwith Pike. After a day outdoors, you can enjoy a hearty meal at a local pub without needing to drive anywhere.

For families with older children who enjoy outdoor activities, staying in Buttermere village is also highly convenient. The immediate access to walking and cycling routes means less time spent travelling and more time exploring the natural landscape.
When is the best time to go to Buttermere?
The best time to go to Buttermere is during the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

During these months, the weather is generally milder, making it ideal for walking and enjoying the scenery around the lake. You'll find the footpaths less busy than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more tranquil experience. The fells are often covered in wildflowers in spring, and the autumn brings stunning colours to the landscape, particularly around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water.

For those who enjoy hiking and photography, these periods offer excellent conditions. The longer daylight hours in late spring mean more time to explore, while the softer light of autumn is superb for capturing the dramatic Lakeland views.
