Windermere Boutique Hotel Spa Suites & Hot Tubs

Hotel in Windermere

Just a mile from Lake Windermere in the heart of the Lake District, this luxury boutique hotel offers home-cooked food and free Wi-Fi.

Overall, everything was perfect. The room was large enough, the supplies were sufficient, and the service staff were very kind and tried their best to meet all our needs during our stay. I have to mention Charlie, he is seriously the funniest person I have ever met in the UK. The hot tub should be the biggest feature of this hotel. My wife and I enjoyed it for three whole days and were very satisfied. The price/performance ratio is very good. The hotel is located in the middle of the two towns of Bowness and Windermere, and it is very convenient to walk to both towns. In any case, I will definitely recommend this hotel next time I come to the Lake District, or if my friends want to travel to the Lake District.

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 .

The view is incredible! We were in the dog friendly room and the view of the hill was spectacular. It's surrounded by sheep and you can easily walk down to the lake. We enjoyed wine with our feet in the water and then a drink at their bar in the lounge. Free easy parking, comfy bed and a good shower!

The area was mostly fine.

The area was mostly fine. In some areas the town was looking tired. Absence of any visible street cleaning. We must have passed an area where someone had let their dog foul the pavement at least eight times as we walked up and down to our guest house and back down towards the lake I know it’s individual dog owners where the responsibility lies but even so it’s a big tourist area So one would expect a bit more pride in the area Unfortunately we won’t be rushing back to visit

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes.

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes. Whilst some people might not like that, it does have a multitude of places to eat, drink, wander and enjoy the vista. Please try Porta, I have been visiting the restaurant for over 30 years, it is fabulous and for me is a must visit venue. I know it’s touristy, but that’s for a reason, it is a really nice place to be.

There is plenty to see in Ambleside with an excellent range of shops and places to eat. There was lots of live music over the weekend. We saw a fantastic jazz band at Zeffireli's. Our biggest disappointment was Hill Top - make sure you book in advance otherwise they won't let you park in the carpark and visit the property.

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

Fantastic stay as a last minute decision for our family of 5 and the dog. Friendly welcome and freshly cleaned pod on arrival. Spacious enough for us all - even my 6ft4 husband slept well. Pods heated up quickly and held the heat nicely through the night. Toilets and showers were clean and had hooks on the doors for keeping clothes dry etc. We didn’t use the kitchen area but it was clean and spacious. Games room had plenty of seating and a table tennis table but no rackets or ball unfortunately. The campfire area was loved by our children in the evening. Enough parking space and close to lots of local walks and experiences. There were bikes on site that could be hired which would be a great family activity but I’m not sure on the pricing.
