We booked a superior room which was excellent and had views of the lake. We were a ljttle apprehensive when booking after reading some reviews but we absolutely did nit need to worry. Excellent hotel and really good value for money. Tip pay the extra £10 per couple for breakfast as is very good for the money. We would definitely stay again. Well done.

Easy check in - Friendly staff -Superior room was large with view over the lake and came with table and 2 chairs as well as the usual dressing table ,wardrobe etc.
Room servicing - cleaning etc was by request only but did not find this a problem
Overall a pleasant experience

We were in room 34. It was a spacious room which was clean and comfortable; some creaky floors though.
Evening meal and breakfast both good and staff helpful.

Had a lovely stay here, staff were polite, room was clean and bed was comfy. The location was great. We stayed for 3 nights but the room was not cleaned once. It was not a problem for us as we kept it clean but other people might not feel the same.

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

Place is good for a place to rest your head. Basic but in a good way and the staff are friendly. Not gonna blow your mind but it doesn't need too.

If you would like the smallest room with minimum foot sq, and a very uncomfortable bed when explicitly called in advance to inform this hotel that we were arriving with two dogs don’t hesitate to book this hotel. The bar looks below average, but luckily the radiators will be all on in the corridors making the building really hot in summer’s day and you will be forced to walk to town (Town is very nice actually). Parking is a nightmare as the spaces are very small, you’ll be risking parking your car and getting the tail end clipped. Somewhat clean rooms with torn towels will only get serviced if you explicitly go to reception and inform them each morning before midday.

The hotel is situated right next to the station and town centre! It is away from the lake though.
The hotel is ok, service was good and breakfast was good! However the rooms and bathroom will need to be renovated and are old fashioned! A fridge would have been good and the heating switches off which made it cold for us, especially when you are there in winter months.
