Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We enjoyed our stay at Lakeside Hotel, but we were rather disappointed with our room. It was very dated (although the bathroom was fine), the wardrobe was ancient and didn’t look clean. We would have had a lake view if the windows hadn’t been permanently steamed up (single glazed). Our room (402) was a long way from Reception - the hotel actually comprises of three separate buildings connected by corridors. Our room was in a converted house at the far end. One advantage was that there was a free car park directly outside. The other parking option was behind the nearby Aquarium building.
Cleanliness in the rest of the hotel was excellent. The swimming pool and changing rooms were very good (we didn’t use the spa). The grounds are well kept and the conservatory was very relaxing with views across the lake.
The food options (restaurant or brasserie) were good but very expensive, as were the drinks. Gratuities are automatically added but may be removed on request.
The hotel is very convenient for boat trips and train journeys, which can be bought as a joint ticket if preferred.
We might stay there again if we could have a better room.
Great relaxing stay. Can't fault the location.straight on the lake with the ferry port, aquarium and steam train located across the carpark. Didn't like the auto service charge added to all bar and food orders. The food was also a little pricey, so we ate out out for most of our trip.
Enjoyed a nice relaxing stay here. Special thanks to Alex on reception for the upgrade, also thanks to Danielle for helping me to access the terrace on my mobility scooter. Woul def stay again.
The staff on desk that checked us in was lovely , all staff polite as well , gorgeous location , only thing lacking was in spa if staff where busy no one to ask about the type of treatments and what they involved , no drinks service also in pool area which would have been nice
The location, overlooking Lake Windermere is outstanding. The staff were helpful and efficient. The only negative was that there were large groups staying and they were given priority for dining options. We were unable to eat in the Lake view restaurant, which is a feature of the hotel, for any of our meals.

Liked: Staff & service
The hotel it’s self was nice and breakfast was nice. However the room was poor. No fridge and tele was tiny. And the room was really dated . The down stairs was nice
We had a lovely stay at the Lakeside Hotel and Spa, on the whole the hotel was clean and well presented although the windows and window frames needed a good clean inside and out. We found the food to be very good and the staff were all pleasant. The pool area was fabulous.
Not enough breakfast options. Small portions. Inconsistencies with the staff. Some staff offered some tables things (i.e water for the table, toast with breakfast ect) but not others.( staff being forgetful) For the price of the meal and the added staff gratuity
... the food is not worth it.
This was a beautiful hotel. We went for my partners birthday and could not fault the hotel. The staff were lovely and the food was tremendous. Would absolutely love to go back
Have zero clue about “safe sleep” or SIDS thought a pull out camp bed was suitable for under one years (the booking form asks your child’s age on booking) then looked confused when I asked them to remove it so I could bring in our travel cot from the car.
Zero organisation at breakfast or even common sense, took best part of 30mins to just order on our first morning we just collared a waiter on our second morning. The food at breakfast is nice, would be nice if we weren’t all sharing the same sauce bowl… bathroom had lots or cracked tiles and bathroom cleaner was left in the room.
Plenty of staff just a severe lack of organisation and coordination to ensure smooth running. Could also do with a bit of updating/refreshing in some areas (loads of cracked tiles in bathroom)
The location is stunning and so relaxing, great pool the food was lovely but had to move rooms as was put right above the kitchen and the noise was too much. They did change us immediately though so no complaints...would definitely go back as perfect location
