Hotel was in a great location for walking into Windermere ( downhill about 45 minutes). Across the road from the train station and buses stop regularly outside.
The hotel staff were all really pleasant and seemed happy to be there, always giving a warm welcome.
Brilliant hot, full breakfast available with cereal and pastries. Chef always visibly coming in and out of kitchen, with all clean aprons.
Overlooking Lake Windermere and the Langdale Pikes, the Craig Manor is 5 minute walk from Bowness. The rooms have modern decor, en suite bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels.

Our second visit and it didn’t disappoint. The location in the centre of town was great. A spacious room with a really comfortable bed. We only ate breakfast there but it was fabulous probably the best hotel breakfast we have had. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful.
Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn are located in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by fells and lakes.

Every thing was great, from the breakfast to the room and staff, we enjoyed every minute. Extremely lovely location, just fabulous to have drinks by the lake. We will definitely be coming back.

Fabulous hotel. Rooms are spacious with huge bed. The entire hotel is spotless. Food is delicious both at dinner and breakfast time. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this to everyone.
Lakeside Hotel sits on the southern shore of Lake Windermere and is only 15 minutes from junction 36 of the M6 motorway. The hotel offers stunning views of Lake Windermere.

Delightful area, obviously Beatrix Potter is the big attraction but there are lots of walks nearby, it's a mile to the ferry to get across to Windermere, 2 pubs, both of which do great food, 15 minutes to Lakeside to catch a boat for trips along the lake, similar time scale for Hawkshead, not much further to Newby Bridge, Coniston or Ambleside.

It is quiet and away from noisy tourists but you need to have a car to go there. There is a car ferry connecting Far Sawrey and Windermere but it may close when the weather is rough. Then you have to drive on quite narrow country roads to get in and out to visit places.

Location was fine, especially to the ferry to cross Windermere to Bowness but note it is £5 per car each way. Be aware of driving, the lanes can be single track with few passing spaces so short distances can take much much longer than expected. Hawkeshead village well worth a visit for a cuppa and cake, need to pay for parking though.
Avoid Hardknott and Wrynose pass at all costs!

The location was nice and quiet. If choosing to visit one of the lakes for watersports, then Coniston is more pleasant than Bowness-on-Windermere as it’s less crowded and less touristy. The water quality also seemed nicer.

Far Sawrey is a tucked-away hamlet between Windermere and Esthwaite Water. It's a "gently beautiful place" and you can walk directly from Cuckoo Brow Inn up onto the hills behind. However you really need to get in the car to get to the lake shore.
We ate at the Cuckoo Brow Inn - couldn't really think of a reason to go further afield, as the food there is excellent.

We came here to celebrate milestone birthdays of our family and friends and it was an excellent house to do that in. We also chose it because it was the Hawkshead Christmas market was the same weekend. We had intended to walk into Hawkshead but the weather was awful on the Saturday. It would have also meant having to walk most of the way on the road too. So we drove in and had we had a nice meal at the The Queens Head, before returning to cozy up for the night. On the Sunday, it was easy to get to Ambleside but we could not find any parking spaces there, so drove a bit further on to Grasmere, which is beautiful. However, we were very disappointed with our lunch at Heidi's cafe and would definitely avoid that on our next visit.
Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with the location and services offered at The Cuckoo Brow Inn. The room was a great size, as a solo traveler I had plenty of room for all my bags. The room was updated to have some modern amenities - nice bathroom! The best part of this venue though is the delightful pub. Food is outstanding, nice selection of local brews and the kindest staff around. Cannot recommend the Inn high enough
Fabulous friendly staff - who were working really hard when it was busy- but were always smiling and accommodating. Very welcoming- great location - gorgeous walks on the doorstep. Food was great. Nice and quiet at night, beds comfy. Family room was great- bunk beds tucked away behind small dividing wall gave everyone space. Would definitely come back
The pub is great and had a good selection of beers. We chose this spot because they allow dogs to stay and we werent dissapointed, meeting multiple dog guests. Even though dogs were allowed, the place is still spotlessly cleaned and the staff were terrific. Suggest taking a morning walk along the trails to Hilltop and Beatrix Potters house.
The quintessential lakeland getaway, perfect to wake up in and perfect to end the day, excellent food on site, comfortable and colloquial environment with friendly and accommodating staff, very dog friendly for any dog lovers and close to the ferry to Bowness if you want to leave your car parked up and just walk
Nice apartment, comfy and it had everything we needed to spend a couple of relaxing days. The proximity to the ferry is quite convenient and we liked it lots. The cuckoo brown is very close and their food is lovely. Highly recommend staying here!
Quaint, well maintained establishment in the Lake District. On the Non-busy side of Windermere Lake. The staff was excellent and very polite and attentive to our needs. The food and drink was excellent. Many walking trqils right out the door.
Staff - very friendly and helpful - went the extra mile and more. Felt very much like a family. Location is stunning. Hotel property is lovely. Great atmosphere in bar and restaurant. Rooms very comfortable and well appointed. Nice big bath.
Excellent food, the pork belly was fantastic for those with a huge appetite. Nice location for our stopover on our way to Scotland. Well situated for local amenities across the lake in Windermere. Comfortable room, plenty of tea coffee etc.
Location excellent for easy access of all areas around Lake Windermere, Grisedale Forest, Hawkshead, Bowness, Ambleside, Windermere.
The cottage has character
A 1 minute walk to The Cuckoo Brow Inn, great food and very dog friendly
The Cuckoo Brow lived up to it's great reputation with friendly helpful staff well furnished accommodation and great food, We have stayed many times in the past, and the Cuckoo Brow continues to impress.
Great location close to two pubs for dinner out. Perfect to get to all the areas we love to walk in the Lakes. Well fitted out, beautifully decorated and suited our needs. Dog friendly too
Lovely comfortable little hotel. Spotlessly clean. Super friendly staff who made us feel so welcome.
Great walks from the doorstep. Evening meals were great, same good quality breakfast
Great location in a quiet spot on the banks of Windermere. Very comfortable little cottage, with everything you need for a home from home stay. A great place to discover the Lakes
