The staff make this Inn . Tommy the manager took such good care of us and if we were to go back and stay it would be because of the staff .
The bar is cozy and has amazing views in the summer or winter .
The restaurant is one of the best we have ever eaten in . They have an amazing chef and a very affordable menu . The continental breakfast was ample and set us up for the day . It was served in the restaurant again with a amazing views . Book in advance for dinner as it’s always busy regardless if it’s midweek or weekend .
It’s a great base for walking and a short distance from the lovely Bowness-On-Windermere and Ambleside .

Hotel overall was fantastic. Decor in rooms was lovely, facilities were more than adequate, and the hot tub was huge for two people. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The view from our superior hot tub room was unreal looking over Lake Windermere. Same goes for the view from the hotel restaurant. Staff were lovely and took their time explaining everything to us. Location was also great, just 5 minutes drive from Bowness on Windermere.

Nice location, our room was large and the hideaway was a perfect spot of a mini get away. Enjoyed the breakfast each morning with the lake view. Staff was really lovely. Appreciated their green policy and took advantage of not taking housekeeping for a drink.
Having parking onsite was a nice surprise although the parking spaces are tight but that’s understandable.
Beautiful hydrangeas on the walk path up to the lakehouse.

We stayed in the Seductive Suite, it was a beautiful room with the decor, lots of space, beautiful bathroom, we loved the mood lighting and the bed was so comfy. We loved the special touches like the vanity area and the under floor heating and the tv on the wall in the bathroom. It was the best hotel that we have ever stayed in and it was my boyfriend’s birthday as well. We will definitely be coming back.

Windermere is separate from the lake that is in Bowness. Both communities are interconnected and walkable. It is very touristy but that is part of the energy of the place. Had a great meal at the Flying Pig and pizza at the Tap House. We had the mandatory ice cream and it was worth the line!

The beautiful lake view was wonderful, but it would have been much better if we could have enjoyed it more. Our trip was planned for the wrong time, so most of our time there was just heavy rain. I highly recommend Ambleside, but I'd suggest planning a trip during drier, warmer days.
The Windermere cruise is an experience to try; the place is surrounded by wonderful fish and chip places and cafes. if you have kids, highly recommend taking a cruise down to Brokhole, where there various adventures, and activities for children, though be prepared to spend about and hour or two there while the kids enjoy.

The location is a great place for walkers to enjoy without having to get in their cars and drive elsewhere. The walks from the town are many and of various choices between easy and difficult.
A hard walk up to the High Street with its fantastic views of all the lake district fells or a gentle stroll up the Troutbeck valley to the Tongue are both enjoyable and relaxing in their own ways to name but two of the many.

Good walks to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing Station overlooking Windermere. Unfortunately Wray Castle was shut for renovation during our visit (Nov 2025)m but the cafe here was open for business and doing a roaring trade.
Location is handy for Hill Top (Beatrix Potter) and Hawkshead where there are ample places to eat.

Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food.
Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District.
Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
