Lock in a great price for Low Wood Bay - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The food in the blue wood bay was exceptional as was the breakfast. The location overlooking the lake was perfect and decor and facilities far exceeded our expectations. Fantastic place.

Haydn, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel with a beautiful view, secure car park, nice breakfast with a comfy room.

Christopher, United Kingdom

I enjoyed the spa and was shocked at how well me and my partner were treated and how they looked after my dog with the bed and dog bowls with treats in 😊

Daniel, United Kingdom

Fabulous location on the lake, very good meal in new ‘Smoke’ restaurant, very good breakfast, decent value, newly developed areas

Giles, United Kingdom

The hotel was well presented and is based on a lovely setting on the lake front, all staff at the property were extremely helpful and accommodating, the hotel is currently undergoing a refurbishment but that did not hinder our experience at the venue. We used the Spa and leisure facilities and again these had just been refurbished and were very modern and clean. It was our wedding anniversary and my wife's Birthday and the hotel put balloons in our room and also on our table at diner and went out of their way to ensure the day/evening went well. Could not recommend this hotel enough to people and will be going back again with our children at some point in the future.

“World class 5 star cost for 2 star quality”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Lime Double or Twin Room with Lake View
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉1. Reception staff unwelcoming and don't have simple niceties like asking how your stay was when leaving 2. Reception staff didn't get things done (e.g. when I asked for the large spider above the bed to be removed) I had to come back after dinner 4 hours later to ask another receptionist who came and took care of it himself 3. Room cleanliness poor - cobwebs around shower and around light pendant. Clear dust above architrave in bathroom that must have been there for months, the all expensive window overlooking the lake covered in bird droppings 4. Room safe didn't work and nothing done to fix this during my stay - chap came up couldn't fix it and that was that 5. Poor turndown service. There are more decorative pillows on the bed than any other hotel I have stayed at, all that was done was draw the curtains and leave some tea bags and then you have to spend 5 minutes moving all the pillows yourself at night.
눇1. Good location 2. Good parking 3. Breakfast staff pleasant 4. Lounge and coffee bar staff very nice

눇Hotel fab...facilities fab... location fab! What let’s this place down (especially as its aiming for 5* status) is some of its staff members! The waiter on the first night I am presuming is new as knew nothing that I asked and his English was quite poor. On both mornings I asked for a cappuccino, this was greeted by a face of disgust from a Manager and then him saying that ‘I really shouldn’t have one of those’ 😳 I have never ever been told this in a 4* before?? Surely if you want that as your chosen drink you can have that?? I also heard the same man blatantly tell another person that the drink he wanted at the bar ‘isn’t served at that bar, it’s only at the other bar so he can’t have it!’..... I think some customer service skills need to be learnt if I’m honest! Reception staff fantastic! It was generally most of the other staff wandering around the hotel or restaurant that really need some training. Also, majority of them looked really untidy..... uniforms are very strange and in the 28 degree heat, most were sweating.. a lot!!! Maybe a lighter summer uniform?? And neatness?? Only my observations but the hotel is amazing and setting, and the work being done to it looks amazing, but to establish it as a real good 4/5* you’ve got to have the staff to match!x

“A work in progress... ”

눉Rooms in the new part are pokey, no fridge (weird for this standard) and poor sound proofing so you could hear your neighbours in too much detail. The Windermere restaurant was like a modern day faulty towers, forgetting the water order, the starter taking an hour to arrive and quality being like a ready meal. I feel the staff just haven’t been trained properly as it’s lacking that professional edge needed if they want to live up to some of the other hotels surrounding them. Also don’t go in the week, still a lot of development, weekend is fine.
눇Rooms in in the old part have been v tastefully decorated and are a good size. Beautiful lake view. The new reception lounge area is v tastefully done as is the new restaurant. Some staff were absolutely amazing, so helpful...
