Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay. Room was beautiful and staff were great. Had a lovely location and the breakfast was wonderful."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location. We stayed in the four poster suite. The view was beautiful, although this is slightly affected at the moment by the building works. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. All staff we came across were very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely return."

The Lamplighter Dining- Rooms

"Lovely warm welcome upon arrival. Great breakfast and amazing location"

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff were amazing, hotel was very old though. Just the 1 small lift. Gutters were overflowing when it rained. But location is class. Car parking is a massive issue however that’s not really the hotel fault but Just one to be aware of, although the hotels answer to the parking issue is to charge you £25 to use their car park but even that gets full by 1100. So plan ahead for parking. Breakfast is nice. Overall a good stay with amazing staff but just a very aging hotel with signs money has dried up."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and well maintained and the comfort of the bed was amazing. Check in staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was Self service but superb. We didn’t use the spa on this occasion as we were there to attend a wedding but have used it previously and it is top notch. My only bug bear is that due to not booking direct I had to pay for parking at £12. This didn’t sit right with me because if using the spa, parking is free, if I had just attended the wedding and had not stayed the night parking would have been free. So then when I give them more custom of staying the night I had to pay because I hadn’t booked directly."

Windermere Hillthwaite Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this hotel several times & as usual staff were friendly & hotel lovely. Room was immaculate with everything we needed. Breakfast delicious with good choice of food. Only slight issue was poor shower. Wouldn’t stop us returning though !"

Cranleigh Boutique

8/10 Good

"Room was nice but the walls are very thin and we were woken up by late night arrivals on both nights who has some drinks in them. Staff were lovely and breakfast was great. A little annoyed that we payed £10 in order to use the hotel car park but only managed to once in the entire trip as the car park was always over full."

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

"What a location absolutely stunning place, the view was out of this world over the lake . Couldn’t pick fault at all breakfast was excellent. 10/10"
