Windermere Hotel

Staff was good. Breakfast was great and the bed was comfortley A good chioce to be able to decide bath or shower.

Well located hotel, in a slightly elevated position at the top end of Windermere town, approx. one and a half miles from Bowness for steamers. Directly opposite train and bus stations for easy access for all areas of the Lake District. Large imposing building with car park {charge}. Public rooms are well appointed. My bedroom, a single en-suite was on the second floor with a lovely view overlooking the town towards the lake. Bedroom was furnished to a high standard with all the facilities required for a comfortable stay. Approx. half the rooms are on the ground floor. There is only one lift with a capacity of two persons. Buffet breakfast offers a wide choice of both hot and cold items sufficient for any appetite.

The location was great. At the top of Windermere overlooking the town. Far enough away, so didn't hear a lot from passers-by. The room was spacious. We had a bay room at the front looking out at the town. The room was very clean. Tea and coffee are available in the room. Check-in reception provided us with glasses for a bottle of wine we had brought. Couldn't have been more helpful. The Orrest Head bar next door does a great meal where the staff again are extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast was tasty. Good choice of continental or traditional breakfast. As soon as we sat down, we were asked whether we wanted tea or coffee, which was brought to our table. The car park fee of £6 is very reasonable considering you can leave the car there until 3pm on the day of check out. This was extremely helpful to us as we were supporting family in the North swim and didn't have to worry where we were going to park. Overall, it was a great stay. Don't take notice of the bad reviews ...I nearly cancelled after reading them, but I'm glad I didn't.

Perfect for a short trip for couples- Lovely clean room, decent breakfast (nothing special but good enough to fill up for a day of walking!) and super easy to get to from the train station. Lovely walks nearby, very easy to walk down into town and to Bowness. Good bus links and amazing views! My boyfriend and I had a great trip for his birthday, thank you Windermere hotel for being a part of it!

Friendly service attentive staff lovely comfortable rooms and warm very clean hotel Buffet breakfast absolutely lovely and variety of dishes to choose from.
