Facilities great, but room needs a refurb
Had a lovely stay in Windermere, but would next time choose a different hotel. The downstairs bar, terrace and cocktail bar were top quality, however the bowness suite was in need of some refurbishment. There was no sound proof and you could hear everything next door, including people coughing and playing loud music till late at night. The bedroom area had the creakiest floor boards all over and next door’s room was the same. You could hear room service being delivered next door later at night and it sounded like it was in our own room. On arrival we noticed our toilet seat was hanging off, we reported this and it was fixed straight away with a new one. Maybe more focus should now be to look at the quality and details of the rooms rather than the facilities downstairs.

Lush little one night stay
We stayed as a belated birthday gift for my boyfriend. After camping for 2 nights prior a night of luxury was just what we needed. All staff were lovely and welcoming. Check in was simple and nice glass of fizz to go with it. We had drinks at the pub and used the spa - had couples massage and back into the spa for a chill before we headed up to our room. Spa was immaculate and lovely and chill. The couples massage was lovely. Our room was very clean and a little ‘happy birthday’ card had been left which was a lovely touch. We had a meal in the Mizumi restaurant on the evening and the food was beautiful. Again a nice little touch bringing out a dessert with ‘happy birthday’ on it which was very thoughtful. The view from our room was lovely and the hottub was a nice addition. Special shoutout to Jack who was working in the pub at the hotel, stopped to have a bit of crack with us which was canny. Breakfast the next morning was a huge buffet of hot and cold selection, anything you could think you would want they had it. Would definitely recommend a stay here it was amazing and would definitely stay again for longer than just one night.

Great stay
Lovely stay, staff were extremely helpful. Had a hot tub with view of the lake. Was brilliant! Only a slight negative, thought £12 per night parking was a little steep given the price you pay for the stay but would happily go back.

Lovely feel to the hotel as soon as we drove into the parking lot. Looked really nice from the outside. It was even better walking into the hotel after being met by the concierge. The staff were very welcoming. The hotel looked stunning and the view we had was great. The only issue we had wea the bed was not comfortable but other than that no issues

Poor customer service
Booked to stay in a hot tub room in Feb for our wedding anniversary in Aug - had a not so lovely view of the bottle bins, laundry trolleys and delivery wagons from our balcony that cost quite a lot of money. That aside room very nice but bed very firm and uncomfortable, shower not great either. Had decided to eat in hotel bar so no need to book when we went only table free was unstable and when we mentioned this we were asked what we expected them to do about it- awful customer service. In the spa the bartender gave a gin and tonic in small wine glass full to the brim I had to ask him to put in lather glass so that I could carry without spilling, spa was full so eventually got seats with another couple and bar tender moved my bag to a different chair when I was in the pool - not sure why? Breakfast was beautiful and the hotel decor itself is very nice but the experience that was meant to be for a special occasion was marred by substandard customer service. I won’t stay again only due to the experience I had you cannot deny it is a beautiful environment to stay in visually
