We were assigned a lake view room which was very comfortable (#3, Brontë). The staff was helpful and friendly. They were also attending to a small wedding, but we felt valued and welcome. ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Judy 23 Aug 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very beautiful grounds.

It gives you an exclusive feelings with two lounges with relaxing music . Our twin room was pretty and had a comfortable neutral colour scheme . We ordered a room service and the snacks we had were excellent . The room is a bit small and sound proof is not great. But it was a fantastic place to stay regardless . ##### YUI Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Doreen 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### How to spoil a wedding anniversary stay Nice hotel Food awful service non existent 6 dishes on menu 4 containing cheese so options were burger without cheese or fish and chips.tried to book a meal at 5.30 to be told 7.45 was the earliest they could serve as they were busy. IE 2 couples in a restaurant that holds approx 24 tables tried to order a sandwich but was told they finished a 6 pm no bar staff had to press buzzer and wait until some one eventually turned up Breakfast a joke 1 sausage 1 small portion of scrambled eggs, and half a potatoes cake £15 ??? If you require anything you have to go around rooms and restaurant to find any staff for assistance My food order came with the wrong food at 7.45 my wife ate hers while it was still warm and eventually my food arrived burger warm with triple x tripke cooked chips hot but had been re cooked so many times they were like crsps ##### Doreen Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointed stay Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and style great location overlooking the lake. Room was smelly with what I would say was Cat urine smell. Toilet had skid marks in bottom. We booked into the rest so but as there was a small wedding on menu was a pub grill not what we wanted but food (fish n chips) was lovely. We had a room on the top floor facing the back so it was not what we had in mind. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy 17 Jun 2023 Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite. ##### Lucy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Berend 6 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !! ##### Berend Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nishi 5 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was good Property itself , very dated and the porch and reception floor was filthy and the lounge areas dirty .Nobody to receive guests, have to summon by buzzer and wait.Booked a double room for two pf us it was so small that it had one chair squeezed in , no room in the bathroom to put the toiletries etc. Asked if possible to have a bigger room. Told somebody would check. Nobody got back. The water in the shower was always cold to lukewarm ,no matter what setting. Eating in was not attractive as limited menu. The staff at breakfast were friendly , reception staff never greeted or made conversation. Booked it as it was 4 star , was not what I accepted .Will not be returning. ##### Nishi Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sandeep 29 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities While booking we selected a room (215 sqft) which can fit a couch(sofa bed) the room was barely large enough to open a suitcase anywhere but the bed. The hairdryer had pre-Covid dust, which we have to clean as nobody bothered responding ( contacted reception after 7am, which is within the operating hours). Had to fix the shower which just needed tightening up a valve, but again no one in the property seems to care. I would go ahead and say that I want a complete refund. ##### Sandeep Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Becci 29 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Family and Dog Night Away We came for a one night stay, two adults, one year old and a dog (one of the only places locally which allowed dogs!). The hotel looks beautiful as you drive up the winding driveway. We were warmly greeted by the receptionist and who checked us in smoothly. We had booked a four poster bed room as it had more space. I had emailed ahead to ask for a travel cot which the hotel happily provided at no extra cost. On first look the room was lovely, however the decor was slightly dated. Sadly in the bathroom too the wallpaper was peeling from the walls. The hotel did however provide a little welcome kit for the dog too, which we thought was a lovely touch. The bed was comfy and plenty of pillows provided. The room was well equipped with tea and coffee etc, also nice additions of bottled water, boiled sweets and a coffee machine. We were on a bead and breakfast rate. We wish we had taken the hotel up on the offer of a separate room for dining where we could take the dog (ours was not best impressed being left in the room!). The food was tasty with lots of options to suit all. Checkout was easy and is somewhere we would consider coming back to. ##### Becci Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynne 29 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Merewood country hotel lovely little hotel Small hotel in the heart of the Lake District , the rooms at the front have a wonderful view of lake Windermere absolutely stunning . The hotel is clean and well run , nothing was too much trouble. A comfortable well stocked bar, sitting room & library with nice big comfy armchairs overlooking the lake The breakfast was delicious there was a very varied menu to choose from and also full range of cereals fruit and pastries . . 4 different juices Tea & Coffee . We opted for the full English which was delicious with plenty of toast. . All served by cheerful helpful staff in the lovely grill room that can also be privately hired for small weddings. The bacon and sausage were locally sourced and were lovely and a choice of eggs mushrooms tomatoes black pudding and beans . The room was clean and well laid out but some of the furniture has seen better days and could do with being updated . Bathroom again was clean with lovely big fluffy towels and nice toiletries were provided ,but there were a couple of broken tiles. . The over bath shower was not very powerful and the shower head was a bit floppy. Overall a lovely hotel and really good value for money in this part of the Lake District. I would definitely stay here again ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3B47296EE138885BF771554BC24C9A6AC7BB7BE71667046748832.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lynne Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
