Family room
Was really disappointing the shower area was so tiny you couldn’t turn around if you did the shower curtain kept sticking to you and so much damp in this tiny area. You had to keep your arms in. The TV kept freezing and you could turn the Tv over with the remote control. The The breakfast was nice.

Very friendly & great for dogs, she loved the sausage for breakfast. Clean & Covid 19 measures appropriate. Downside a bit noisy from street so maybe request room at rear.

great location spotless and big rooms
Great room four poster bed and lake view. Great location close to all amenities. Only one little downside was choice at breakfast not great and although they did boiled eggs one morning for my wife the next morning they wouldn’t do them for me. However would come back and dog friendly which is a bonus for us. And dog got sausage at breakfast which is great.

Nice hotel close to the town centre and the lake
They allowed my husband and i to check in early as we were at a wedding, they advised us the room will not be ready but we could leave our bags which was awesome. Not sure all rooms are the same but it was a lovely view and could see part of lake windermere. Our room had a double 4 poster bed and a single bed. The only downside was the poster bed, it wasnt comfy and every time you moved it was squeaking. In the end i moved to single bed which was a little more comfy. The breakfast was yummy could of had a range of things too.

Great hotel in good location
We stayed at the Lonsdale for our first wedding anniversary with our little dog 25/09/17 for 2 nights . What a lovely welcoming place it is , it is immaculately clean with its own parking at front and back . The staff can’t do enough for you , and the breakfast was fab . The only problem we had was the terrible uncomfortable creaking roll together bed in room 6 . I never slept a wink in 2 nights ! We were told by the staff they would have moved us from this room if we had asked , so I can’t complain after the fact really . I would just hope , after now reading other bad reviews about this bed , that they were aware of this problem and actually do something about it , as it did ruin what we would have liked to have been a relaxing stay . All in all I would definitely stay there again , just not in room 6 !

Lovely stay in a beautiful hotel
The hotel is a beautifully and tastefully renovated and maintained old house. One doesn't often get to visit such a historic house and stay over night! We had a warm welcome and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay again and would recommend this hotel. The only downside was that plumbing was a bit noise in the family room on the top floor and the shower was a bit tempremental, we didn't all get a warm shower. Otherwise we would have given five stars overall rating. Again, beautiful house, excellent staff, lovely room and good breakfast. Complimentary port was nice too.

The hotel was in a perfect location, we were greeted on arrival and shown to our room, there was even a nice decanter of sherry waiting for us which was lovely after a cold walk around Ingleton waterfalls on the way. The breakfast was amazing, we will definitely return, thankyou

Really enjoyed visiting the Lake District and feel that Lonsdale House has the potential to be an excellent Hotel if it were to undergo a programme of greater attention to detail.
