Nice comfortable stay. Breakfast was average no complaints. Room was comfortable and location was great. Although good for us a disability would make this difficult as the hotel is at the top of a steep hill. But overall it was really nice for us.

Comfortable stay for 4 nights
Second time staying here. Stayed in same room 110 which is one of the biggest and great views over the lake. The room is big so can stretch out. Only down side was a shelf to put your clothes but it was fine. Nespresso coffee machine in room. All facilities lovely and staff all great. Couple bits a little dated and still needs tidying up but nothing to worry about. Great location hotel and ample parking. Look forward to stay again in same room which we like for the space and views.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The staff were so helpful and polite, they took fantastic care of us. The hotel and surrounding area were beautiful and well kept, the rooms were comfortable with plenty of space and accessible showers. Breakfast was included with the stay and was a delicious buffet, and dinner in the restaurant was fantastic. When we return to Windermere we will absolutely be coming back to stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Average and tired with part renovation
We paid extra for a premium room and having been to this hotel before we did not sleep in a premium room. More tired than before, something I over looked during winter paying a much lower price. in March a high price for a very tired hotel. The bed however was comfy but I’m not happy with the room we were given & what we paid for.

A great hotel with history!
We stayed for 2 nights in January. The hotel is very stylish and well equipped. Great location near bars and restaurants although the uphill walk after a few maybe a decision breaker! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our only gripes are the room we stayed in (with balcony view) was very cold. We had to ask for an electric heater to supplement the built in heating. Also we could here the music and noise from the bar (directly below) so if that's an issue don't choose the balcony view rooms. Otherwise a great stay!
