    Windermere is very small and pretty, but you're better off going to Bowness if you want all that *plus* the views. Windermere was quieter than Bowness though, which makes it a great place to stay over if you're travelling to more touristy places nearby in the daytime. There is an amazing gift shop in Windermere on the corner, and the Tapas restaurant looked great, even though we didn't get time to eat there. The park on Park Road was lovely for dogs and kids, and big enough to have a proper walk around.

    An average selection of shops and bars/restaurants.

    An average selection of shops and bars/restaurants. Bowness-on-Windermere is approx 1 mile away, this has a better choice of bars/shops/restaurants. The bus station in Windermere is located near the main road entrance. Bus trips are currently £2 per person each way (April 2024) and we decided to travel by bus to Keswick and enjoy the stunning scenery, and no expensive parking charges. Will definitely be going back to Windermere.

    I have fallen in love of Windermere.

    I have fallen in love of Windermere. I love hiking and nature and this place have everything you need to hike for days, do cycling and much more. Ideal for solo travelers or to visit with family and dogs. I will probably repeat the experience but in summer as some trails are better done with sun conditions /dry paths. There are lots of nice places and different restaurants in Bowness with fantastic food to enjoy. I would really recommend Windermere and closer villages like Grasmere / Ambleside for anyone wanting to spend some days surrounded by nature.

    First of all do not book this property with breakfast included. You basically just pay too much for toast and butter! Nearby town has very nice cafes. Also make sure your room is not damped like our’s was! It was unbelievable! They never cleaned our room and had to ask four times for fresh towels! The location is very nice but unfortunately the quality of the hotel has dropped significantly since last time we stayed in it! It was a huge disappointment.

    Visiting the lake and taking trips around it on boats was fun. There are a lot of restaurants and bars to visit. Apart from visiting the lake and eating out at restaurants there isn't that much to to do.

    Fantastic location being just off the high street and having a parking space with the room was perfect, no worrying about finding a parking space in a busy town. Host was lovely and we enjoyed the breakfast too. Room was a nice size which is important as I hate being cramped. Lots of interesting places to visit, Bowness on Windermere, Coniston Water where you can sail on the Victorian gondola, William Wordsworths House at Grasmere and Hill Top Beatrix Potters house. Only wish our stay had been longer...

    The setting and look of this hotel is beautiful. A short walk from the shores of Windermere. I was slightly concerned as I had heard some bad reviews but this was not my experience. I was allowed to check in early and had a lovely, comfortable, spacious room with a large balcony. The only problem was that the walls are quite thin and the family next door to me were very loud and had the TV on until about 1.30am. Staff were polite on arrival and throughout generally helpful. Vali was particularly good.

    Charlie was an exceptional host helped us with our bags to the room and explained everything perfectly . The hotel was impeccably clean, modern and had great spa facilities . Our breakfast was delicious and loved that we could have it to our room. Location is perfectly situated between busy Windermere on the left and a quieter town to the right . Glass of bubbly on arrival and great cocktail menu .

    Good, modern hotel well situated 10 mins from Windermere and 20 from Bowness. Check in and ongoing keyless access worked well. Parking space was a available. The apartment was a bit tight on space but manageable. As other reviews have mentioned, the fridge is powered by a jet engine so it had to be switched off overnight. Bit pricey but within the range for good hotels in the area.

    Loved the hospitality of the receptionists, the room was well presented, all clean and felt cosy. Plus the bath is amazing, nice and relaxing, I could stay in it for hours. Especially was nice when I was recommended places to go, made the place feel more unique as the hotel welcomed guest to the community around Windermere, not just the hotel :)

    Lovely building and the room was superb. Lots of attention to detail with furnishings. Bed huge and super comfy. Staff were great and Ian was fantastic with us as we arrived a little early but Ian let us have our room so we could go out around Windermere without having to come back to check in. This was much appreciated.

    Fantastic hotel with stunning views over lake Windermere, close to the busy town of Bowness. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice, dinner also very good. Spa was good, not too busy, didnt have any treatments but used the pool, steam room and sauna which were lovely. All in all a lovely hotel, highly recommended.
