The breakfast and choice was absolutely amazing. The best we have had at a hotel. It was all fresh and constantly topped up. We had not planned to eat evening meals in the hotel, but the food was so good we ate there every night. The room too was fantastic, with plenty of space. Marc the concierge was very knowledgeable about the area and recommended some great walks suitable for us and the buses to get to them. The receptionists were also very welcoming showing us around the hotel and our room on arrival. The location of the hotel is good too, just a few minutes walk from the center and therefore not too noisy. A few days after we left I realised that I had left an expensive item of clothing behind. The hotel kindly arranged to post this home for me. We usually holiday in the Med but with the high temperatures we now get there during summer, decided to try the UK this year. We had such an enjoyable time will definitely be back next summer.

Lake Windermere

Stretching out for 11 miles, Windermere is the longest body of water in England. A variety of vessels cruise around, steadily ferrying visitors from shore to shore. While the water itself is loved by rowers, wind-surfers, swimmers and all manner of watersports enthusiasts, the lake’s surrounding trails offer a paradise for hikers and ramblers.

    Stunning.

    Stunning. If you're in Bowness and look north towards the mountains north of Ambleside, it's one of the best views in the UK. There is also a viewpoint a little way north on the road from Bowness to Ambleside.

    Lake Windermere is very popular and can be busy around the Jetty areas where people take a trip on the water. Just out of town the Lake Jetty Museum show some beautiful boats that have seen time on the water. There is also a trip you can purchase there. For motor fanatics, the motor museum just out of town shows a very extensive selection of cars bikes and motor vehicles of all areas. They also show the world land and water speed records made by the Campbells. Definitely worth a visit if you are Into that kind of thing. A cafe is available. Parking is a available at both places.

    Beautiful Lodge with everything we needed for our stay. Quite clean and tidy and decorated to a good standard. The lodge is close to lake windermere and local towns, which are lovely to visit and spend the day exploring. Staff at the onsite shop were very friendly. Very quite location with loads of walking routes close by.

    We had an amazing luxury room with balcony, which we did not expect. The hotel is amazing as they take care of the smallest details. In house dining was really good example of fine dining. The grounds around the hotel were perfect for an evening or morning stroll. We went on a cruise around the Lake Windermere in 1920’s wooden boat, such class!! Really recommend this hotel. The staff made us feel really at home

    Food was very good and plentiful. View from restaurant was amazing over looking lake windermere. Close to town centre (10 minutes by car) 10 minutes from popular walks. Chef accommodated vegan options and food in general was very good. Lots of parking out front and at the rear of the hotel. Staff were friendly and offered different when requested.

    On the outside, aesthetically, it’s beautiful. Set in a rural location with fantastic immediate views of nature. We had the added bonus of it being sunny and our room looked out at the nearby hills which was an added bonus. Internally the hotel was quite small which made it feel quite homely. Well situated to local attractions such as Lake Windermere and Ambleside.
