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.

The room was beautiful, good size bathroom, liked the mini fridge but disappointing to get packet milk for a coffee machine. Just don’t find that sort of thing in this class of room. Facilities were great, lovely decor etc.

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.

Windermere is a beautiful place very picturesque and plenty to enjoy on your stay I could highly recommend a walk into Bo'ness and having a look around the many shops on offer the church in particular is a peaceful place, then if your after a good pint the whole in the wall offers a high standard of pint 😀
Beautiful building, very comfortable, clean rooms and hotel was very quiet (not disturbed by any other sounds). Lovely view of the garden and bedroom was spacious. Loved the kitchenette facilities as there is no restaurant so we needed to sort our own breakfast etc. Location was amazing! 5 minute walk to Windermere town centre and 35 minute walk down the main road to Bowness on Windermere. We got the bus back from here on one of the days and the route drops your right at the end of the road. overall a great stay
We stayed at the j’adore suite which was very lovely as it was away from the main hotel and felt like our own little place. we had the hot tub outside, spa bath and steam room. the room was very clean, fresh towels every day and it felt very cosy. We would have loved to extend our stay. Windermere lake was within 10 minutes walking distance and shops, restaurants and pubs were very close by. Also, breakfast and hospitality was 10/10 for us! We will be definitely visiting again.
The staff were very friendly, and helpful in telling us about walks. The health club was really nice; very good jacuzzi, pool, sauna, steam room (and changing rooms), which was accessible 6:30am- 9pm everyday. The lobby of the hotel was lovely with seating overlooking Windermere. The spa thermal journey with mud room was incredible (both the inside and outside space). The adjoining water sports facility was also very good. Of course, location was incredible.
Excellent accommodation, very good size, very modern and exceptionally clean.
Great location with good access to ambleside, bowness and windermere.
Owner left wine and chocolates which was a nice welcome treat and even dog treats.
We used the choices health club which is included in the stay (not mentioned before booking) really nice pool with spa facilities definitely worth a trip.
Wonderfully quirky little B and B. A very comfortable room with enough bedroom space. Loved the claw bath, this was in the bedroom, I loved this but some may not. The staff were friendly and welcoming. This little place was the perfect walking distance to Bowness for restaurants and Windermere for shopping.
Excellent location within walking distance of Windermere and Bowness. The king suite with whirlpool is a very spacious and comfortable room with amazing bed. We slept so well in both rooms we stayed in. The Manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. A real asset to the hotel.
The property is beautifully set up and has a fantastic view.
It is centred a short walk away from Bowness on Windermere and quite close to lots of water activities.
The room was comfortable and spacious.
would definitely recommend it.

The staff were polite and very helpful.
The food was a bit expensive but very nice.
The spa area is well worth a visit.
Fantastic location and very good value for money even considering the hotel could do with a refit/uplift, charming original building and really enjoyed my stay.
