Oakthorpe & Lamplighter Bar

The location of the hotel was excellent as it was at the top end of Windermere and was very close to all the shops and bars.

The hotel's decor needs updating and the room we stayed in needed airing.

The rooms were lovely and clean,and was made welcome. The breakfast was lovely and willing to give anything you wanted

Friendly staff -good food

dated/tired bedroom and en-suite broken bedside lamp shaver light not working

Owners are very involved and helpful. Gourmet chef is professionally trained in Switzerland and Sweden. Food exceptional. HIstorical Building and town. Rooms are not fancy but are certainly clean, comfortable and adequate.

The bed was very comfortable, the breakfasts were very good and there was plenty of hot water. Location was good in the centre of the town (Windermere) and the lady who served breakfast was very pleasant. The car park was certainly a plus point.

As soon as we entered we saw that the reception floor was dirty and this was confirmed in our room. The bathroom carpet looked filthy and the window would not shut (plants from outside were growing into the room, so this is clearly a long term problem). There were cobwebs in the main bedroom and the sash window would only stay open with a piece of wood to wedge it. The wood work particularly was in deperate need of painting and there was thick dust on the ledges in the dining room. All of the areas we saw needed decorating. We went for a drink in the bar, but had to wait until the 'locals' were served, even though we were ahead of them in the queue. If there is a lounge area for hotel guests, we were not told and did not find it.

The bed was comfy and it was a central location. Breakfast was enjoyable and I did like that it wasn't too early.

The pictures shown of the rooms were nothing like the room we got. The furniture was in need of updating and the bathroom was the worst I have ever used. No shelf for your toiletries, you had to use the windowsill which was behind the toilet, tried to stand things on the sink but because it wasn't level things fell into the sink, no towel hooks and the carpet was in need for replacing. The pictures of the rooms are misleading. They should specify which rooms are shown on the wbsite.

Location is very good. Staffs are friendly. I was satisfied with quontity and quality of breakfast.

A bit expensive compared to the facility.

Rooms need updating but clean. Evening meals excellent value for money.

Very quiet and clean but very old fashioned!

Only one small towel available for 2 of us.

The room space is large. The breakfest is excellent.

Room was comfortable and clean. Big and nice sitting room to share with other guests. Staff did not disturb us much. Nice breakfast.

LA situación, estupenda, cerca de todas las atracciones de los Lagos. La atención de la dueña, a la vez respetuosa pero muy pendiente del comfort. El desayuno inmenso en calidad y cantidad.

Das refeições; durante o período que estivemos no Reino Unido (10 dias entre Norte de Inglaterra e Sul da Escócia), o jantar que fizemos nohotel foi sem dúvida a melhor refeição, a única que fugiu da costumeira cozinha pouco ineressante da GB. També é certo que foi a mais cara, mas valeu a pena (90 euros para 4 pessoas).

Inicialmente colocaram-nos em quartos sem casa de banho privativa, e só depois de dizermos se não tinham quartos com casa de banho nos mudaram. Se não tivessem quartos livres como seria? há que ter cuidado com isso pois essa hipótese não é evidente aquando da marcação
