This hotel was exceptional in everyway. Quiet,large room,comfortable king sized bed and the sound of the stream through the windows was so tranquil. Staff so friendly and helpful. From the beautiful cooked breakfast to the scones and clotted cream every afternoon it just felt like home. Lots of walks from the beautiful Grasmere village. Jump on the bus if you wish to many places. Good restaurants nearby to walk to and tea rooms at the door. Just so relaxing this place. Lots of parking. Great outdoor and indoor space to relax with complimentary beverages. We will be back one day.

Immaculate and everything is considered. Some features were absolutely unprecedented like having takeaway cups for coffee so you can take a morning coffee with you. Staff friendly and the view from the breakfast room is truly stunning. All the facilities were in great condition and the room beautifully decorated.

It’s a beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Surrounded by green hills and good walking trails! The complimentary continental breakfast was perfect, dinner in the downstairs pub was delicious and it was cosy with the fireplaces lit, had live music, a good selection of food and drinks. The room was super comfortable, warm, plenty of blankets, a lovely view and spacious enough for the two of us. Bed and pillows were comfy, shower was hot, and the room had a kettle for tea and coffee. Was honestly brilliant. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. And so many cats and dogs and ducks!! Loved it.

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 was such a beautiful trip for our 3rd wedding anniversary. Fun hikes, gorgeous views of the lake, yummy food everywhere! Homeground coffee was so amazing! Their house blend was delcious! Cafe Italia was a really nice place! Quite pricey but the food was delicious. As a muslim you do have to hunt a little around there but there are halal options in and around windermere like in bowness. The 599 bus is such a convenient way to get around. It comes within 20 minutes of the last one. The boat ride from Ambleside waterfront was so amazing and highly recommended for couples and families!

I love the location; the ferry ride up to Ambleside was beautiful. The staff on the ferry were friendly and helpful. The walk to Grasmere was easy, plenty to see along the way. Food was available in Grasmere; we ate at a cafe on the main street where they also had a most wonderful apple and cinnamon hot juice, which I hope to return to and have more. We caught a coach back from Grasmere which was also easy to do. Windermere and Bowness are lovely place to visit, I cannot believe how many people were there visiting....All the bars/restaurant we visited where excellent, the food in easy squeezy was superb, with playing a rocking little singer guitarist. Overall, we had a cracking good time

Beautiful, clean, well preserved, friendly town with church, shops, pubs and restaurants and plenty of places of interest in the town and within a reasonable driving distance, such as Beatrix Potter's working cottage, boat trips on Lake Windermere, swimming. walking and cycling.

Location, facilities, on the river, gym pool and paddle boarding, great value for money, Breakfast is also much improved over last year or so my son though, so which is a good recommendation. The bar / eating area is ideal, quite busy so book in advance, could not find a better location next to the river. It really is quite idyllic.

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.

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
