Convenient location for exploring the top town of Bowness. The area is gorgeous, but manically busy, even in early spring. Our freshly decorated standard double room was large with modern decor and immaculate bathroom. The view of the lake and town was stunning. Visiting in March we were lucky enough to find a parking spot in the small carpark, but I imagine this would be a problem in the summer months at peak season. Traffic on the road is constant so getting out of the car park was a trial each time. Breakfast was lovely with loads of choice. Issues: TV didn't work, staff over the phone prior to check in was abrupt when I asked about reserving a parking spot and paying for early check-in, neither of which were possible. The rest of the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable. Bed was comfy enough but the room was boiling hot and I couldn't really sleep because of this despite having the window open. Could have done with another pillow but wasn't worth asking as we only stayed one night. Communal areas such as main corridor to rooms and the breakfast room looked tired and in need of refurb, but the Victorian grandeur hasn't been lost and the veranda was lovely.

We got a great last minute deal. We had a standard room - basic but clean and comfortable. Great location too unless a small hill down to town would be a problem. We’ll definitely look out for more deals in the future.

Not a good stay
We came to book in and was told we wasn’t staying here. We drove around trying to find another hotel . In the end we landed at the police station who told us that there was only one Windermere hotel . We returned back to the hotel and said we are staying here he found our booking no sorry was said and we spent a hour travelling around l was very mad no apologies were given the man on the desk did speak very good English. The next morning l spoke to the manager who did apologise this service was terrible
