    Ideally located and handy as a base for exploring.

    Ideally located and handy as a base for exploring. Traffic always snarls up towards Ambleside, so be patient it does clear. Get up early and get out there of you want to get somewhere The cafe at Brantford does amazing brunch and for those Beatrix fans, Hill Top is great. The pub though is something else, the landlord is a treasure chest of information.

    The countryside is absolutely stunning.

    The countryside is absolutely stunning. Luckily for us the weather was beautiful just the right temperature for us and the sun was shining. We picked a good time of year as in the summer I would imagine it would be extremely busy. It's like every other old town narrow streets needing a bit of navigating. We visited the Beatrix Potter Museum which was great. We drove to Ravenglass and went on a steam train. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants in both Windermere and Bowness.

    Windermere was a lovely little town and great as a home base to see other areas around the Lake District. There are many Bars, Restaurants and Cafes around the area great to start the day or finish the day with a Pint. Many beautiful walks around for all fitness levels. Highly recommend these cafe's eateries.. Toast, HomeGround, The Crafty Baa and The Elleray does a great Chicken Burger!

    So much to see with excellent bus service that can take you virtually anywhere. There are boats that take scenic cruises to various spots around the lake. Wish I had more time because the variety of places to visit I would say can take at least a week.

    Windermere is very small and pretty, but you're better off...

    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.

    Pamela put up with our messages as we worked with the train strike to get there. She greeted us with delicious homemade shortbread and coffee. Breakfast was very good every day we were there. Wait staff were so sweet and helpful to us. The room was clean and comfortable. The blackout drapes were especially appreciated in the room, since the sun rises early in June. The place is centrally located for both Windermere and Bowness. There is a bus stop just down the hill that is easy to get to.

    The host Beverly was very welcoming and shared a lot of helpful information on where to eat and places to visit. The house was clean and in a quiet environment. It is located next to a street which is a short walk directly to bowness and windermere bus interchange/railway station. Buses also ply along this street. The bed was super comfy and we had a good night's rest every night. Breakfast was fantastic too! Thank u Beverly!

    The property was in a lovely location and not too far from Windermere which was great. The staff at the property were wonderful, as was the spa - it was one of the best hotel spas which we’ve been too! The food in the restaurant was also exceptional. After reading lots of negative reviews I was really worried, but there was no need to be - our room was clean and comfortable which is exactly what we needed it for.

    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 .

    The location is ideal. It’s about 5-minute walk from the Windermere railway station. It’s situated adjacent to the business area and easily accessible to almost everything, and meanwhile hidden in a quiet neighborhood and facing a park with an amazing view, and not to mention the tiny but beautiful garden leading to its doorstep. It’s a perfect combination of convenience and tranquility.

    The breakfast was incredible, every day we had something different and each time it was brilliant. Also the location is perfect it’s so near to so many walks some of which are a short drive and some you can walk by starting at the hotel! It’s also only a 10 minute walk from both Windermere and Bowness on Windermere’s centres. Would recommend to everyone!

    Breakfast was exceptional. The room was large, warm and cosy. The hotel is well situated as a ten minute walk in either direction and you were either in Bowness on the lake or in the town of Windermere. The 'front of house' greeting, particularly from Liam, was excellent.
