"This hotel, as you would expect, is immaculate. Special notice must be given to the grounds keeping staff. I have never stayed at a property with such well-manicured flowers and fauna. It really added to the ambiance of the stay. Breakfast is wonderful, do take advantage of it. As for the dining, the menu was too over the top for us as a general statement. We find Michelin star or noted restaurants to be too adventurous for us, generally but we managed well enough. This is a very peaceful and supremely quiet house in the country."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Windermere

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Windermere is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a fulfilling experience that allows you to explore the area’s key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural beauty, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can enjoy activities such as hiking around the stunning lake, relaxing at a spa, or taking a ferry ride to appreciate the scenic views. You might also discover delightful gardens, an aquarium, and charming cocktail spots, especially on sunny days, all offering great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: If you're planning a trip to Windermere, you may discover savings by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section on Hotels.com, where discounted hotel rates are available. You're more likely to see attractive last-minute offers in the Last-Minute Deals area, especially as your travel date approaches. The Hotels.com app also features Smart Shopping , a handy comparison tool that allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay informed about any available price drops or room availability.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates might assist you in finding a more affordable stay in a Windermere hotel. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that could help you find a more favourable rate.
  4.
