Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What can we say other than spectacular!!! We booked with Lakeland Adventures for a three hour cruise on Windermere for four of us and right from booking I cannot recommend them enough. Julie & Les were the perfect hosts and were so welcoming and really looked after us. We booked the platter to have on board and it was delicious! Les took us around the lake and pointed out all of the sights (I didn't even realise there was an island on the lake ha ha). We've been up to Windermere many times, but this felt like the first time, and it was truly a fantastic experience. Memories have definitely been made, and I don't know if anything in the Lakes could top it! A lovely touch from Julie & Les with the framed picture of us on board as we docked back and it will take pride of place of memories of a fantastic afternoon. Don't hesitate to book this trip, it's truly a brilliant experience. Thank you Julie & Les - we'll definitely be back!

An unforgettable and amazing experience. We had the weather which was amazing but Les and Julie where even better accommodating all our needs and the facilities on the yatch where first class from the galley to the heads, even connecting your devices to the sound system was quick and easy and moving about the yatch was a breeze with the safety talk before getting underway efficient and to the point. This is 100% an experience not to miss, worth every penny and then some, it'll live long in the memory, a complete different and far superior way to enjoy the lake than any of the mass people big explorer boats

I spent the afternoon with Les & Julie last week, great hosts and an amazing Yacht. They couldn't do enough, tour guides, sailing lessons, and drinks flowing, we didnt get wall to wall sun shine but that didn't matter it was a great way to see the Lake and enjoy life, in any conditions. The time went quick, we did 3 hours which I would say is perfect, (although I would have been very happy for the day in such good company!) I can't recommend them enough. The kids are 12 and 14 and were kept fully engaged with the machanics of the boat, the depth of the Lake and good sailing etiquette so they had a great time as well as learning lots!

We booked a 3 hour cruise with Lakeland Adventures sailing at Lake Windermere on Elana! Our hosts, Les and Julie were fantastic and help make special memories for us all celebrating a 60th birthday. We highly recommend this activity if your in the lakes, you will not be disappointed!

As near a full day as possible on Windermere aboard the yacht Elana. Captain Les shared his nuggets of knowledge of the lake side properties and some of it's history while we gently cruised up to a mooring spot for lunch. Despite the English weather that did not put us off when the engine was cut and the true sailing commenced. Les was the perfect host and tutor to get us land lubbers on the ropes and taking the helm. Under his perfect guidance, no vessels were side swiped , nor rocks collided with. Below decks our galley maid, the lovely Julie was so attentive by making sure we were catered for, plenty of hot and cold drinks. Together they are a team, and a very good one at that. If your looking for something different and want to see Windermere from a different perspective, hop on Elana and let Les and Julie make a trip for you too remember.

Fantastic experience! Had a wonderful 3 hour tour of Windermere with the family on 29 July. It was a very special birthday celebration from Julie and Les who are wonderful hosts and so knowledgeable about the area and lake. Their boat is absolutely beautiful, extremely comfortable, well kept and spotlessly clean. We will be remembering the experience for years to come and hope to return soon. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

A fantastic 4 hours sailing to Ambleside, peacefully drifting in still waters whilst having a wonderful lunch and taking on liquid refreshments (bubbles and beers), before heading off back down to the south end of the lake for more sailing. A brilliant afternoon on the lake. Julie & Les were excellent hosts, very attentive and informative. We were encouraged to be hands on and get involved with the sailing - which was great fun. To make the trip even better we were lucky enough to see 6 F35 jets on manoeuvres over lake Windermere. Lastly, a very nice touch by providing us with a framed picture of all of us on board to remind us of a great afternoon out.

Les and Julie couldn’t have been more welcoming. We cruised down to the south of the lake and back up again, where the sails were finally unfurled. Our hosts were very knowledgeable and pointed out landmarks and points of interest. We had a lovely lunch with Prosecco on board and were very sorry when it all came to an end. What a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic two hour trip with afternoon tea for the four of us including our two girls 6 & 9.
Afterwards we agreed this was the highlight of the two week holiday in the north of England and memories we will never forget.
Our hosts Les & Julie were fantastic with our children and let them have a go where possible.
If you are looking for a relaxing and special way to experience Lake Windermere there will not be a better option.

We booked an impromptu outing on this stunning lake and although, at the last minute due to illness, we had to change the day of our adventures ,the team at Lakeland Adventures were accommodating and very understanding of our circumstances. The boat is lovely, really comfortable and immaculate and everything is in place for our comfort. We managed to go under sail and experience the peace and tranquility of the lake . Local landmarks were poited out to us and we were kept informed of local activities and history. Next time we visit this area , we will definitely book again and highly recommend this professional and caring family business.
