Nice night at The Windermere Hotel
A lovely one night stay at The Windermere Hotel. Really nice staff and a lovely bed to rest your head after a day out in Bowness for drinks and a meal. Very decent breakfast too. Hotel might need a little ‘love’ but I’d definitely stay there again

Windermere Hotel
It was certainly value for money, but we only stayed one night so I can't give a comprehensive analysis. The room was OK except for the fact that a previous occupant was obviously a heavy smoker and the room smelt strongly of tobacco. There were no evening meals (at least maybe not in January). Breakfast was ok.

Tiny room
Probably the most basic/ smallest room we’ve stayed in for years! If you’re looking for a budget hotel, good location. But bed was to small and uncomfortable. Don’t think I’d stay again

4/10 Fair

Much better hotels available in the area.
Very dated room, rotten mouldy window frames, very damp. No soap or toiletries in the room as described.Towels smelt very greasy. Charged an extra £6 to park a car in the hotel car park??? No breakfast buffet available. The hotel is in need of much needed investment, it is falling apart around them? Much better hotels available around the location.

Terribly rubbish hotel ; shame for Lake district
Absolutely Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs! I wish I could give this place zero stars. From the moment I walked in, it was a disaster. The staff was rude and dismissive. They have me a piece of paper where it explains that there is parking charge but they did not bother to mention there is any service request required for getting a basic clean of the room. They acted like it was my fault when I reported The room was NOT serviced. They shown me a nearly hidden notice that they wouldn't service the room unless requested, which is already frustrating, but what’s worse is that even after requesting it, they didn’t bother to change the bedsheets, towels, or duvet covers so they only put them upside down. I had to sleep on dirty sheets, and it was absolutely disgusting. Also the bathtub was so narrow that it became uncomfortable or unsafe to use, and if the handrail obstructed its usability, wondering if this design allows both regulations and comfort. Handrail is must thing but that should allow a person a medium build person to use the bath. To make matters worse, the mattress was horrible – it was so old and poky that I could feel the springs digging into my back all night. It was impossible to get a decent night's sleep. The whole experience felt like the staff just didn’t care about their guests’ comfort or basic hygiene This was by far the worst hotel experience of my life. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else!

Tired room, but friendly staff, limited paid park
Really friendly staff from the enquiry call, but little else stood out except the price. En-suite room for the cost of a hostel bed, so can't complain. Room was exceptionally dated and rundown, looked like years of mould and rust had been painted over and badly so. The door meant everyone walking past speaking at a normal tone sounded like they were standing over your bed, not great when opposite the laundry cupboard! If i'd paid more, i would of complained about the room. It also wasn't obvious that you had to pay extra for parking, with an odd system of quoting your reg number when you arrived and paying at a machine on departure, which meant a gaggle of folk waiting around the front door.

2/10 Poor

Awful experience right from initial front desk staff meet to the room, bed springs poking through mattress, not clean, needs an awful lot of money spending on hotel. To make things worse we where sat in the bar area outside at 21.30 hours having a drink, the music went off and we where left in darkness with a full drink outside. Staff member said he was closing early. Bar should have been open till 23.30 hours. Say no more l could go on

A real experience hotel, large rooms, very comfortable and the character of the hotel has remain over the years. lots of coach tours each night which made dining or grabbing a drink in a little awkward for a couple. Real close to other dining options in the nearby village.
