Low Wood Marina
The Low Wood Marina is an exciting new development for 2006, providing Lake Windermere with an exceptional new boating facility. As well as its enviable location with spectacular views of the Langdale Pikes, the marina also benefits from the diversity of English Lakes Hotels’ restaurants, bars and leisure complex.
The Marina incorporates 40 water berths with electric and water supply, plus 70 hardstanding storage spaces for ‘trailer sailors’, speedboats etc as well as 29 garage facilities. There are various storage types available which run from the 1st April to the 31st of March. Please note that berths on the water include compulsory dry land storage over the winter period (cradles must be supplied).
Our members are entitled to hugely discounted leisure club membership plus discounts on accommodation and meals taken in any of the five English Lakes Hotels’ properties. The three lakeshore hotels all have jetties and mooring facilities that members may use free of charge. The Low Wood Hotel will be able to provide a chef and personal butler to cook and serve food on the boats. Alternatively the hotel can also deliver meals to the boats, including breakfast, lunch and dinner and provide a range of hampers.
The Low Wood Marina official opening
The official opening of the new Low Wood Marina took place on Friday the 22nd of September. John Derbyshire, who opened the new marina is the Performance Director of the Royal Yachting Association and was head of the highly successful British sailing team at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. John started sailing on Windermere and frequently returns to the area with his family.
The event marked the completion of a 750,000 investment programme at the Low Wood, including the new Marina and the refurbishment of the hotel's stunning new entrance lobby, luxurious lounge bar and elegant lounges where people can relax and enjoy the lake views.
To mark the opening a butler carried a tray of champagne whilst waterskiing on the lake before returning to the shore so drinks could be served to guests waiting at the marina.
