Breakfast Was only between 8.30am and 9.30am which made service cramped and the staff rushed whilst trying to keep up with Service. Generally pleasant Stay , although the 4 poster bed we stayed in was very small

The willowsmere is like stepping back in time to a more genteel era. The decor and furnishings are exquisite, and the service is to match. Well done.

Quick break away from decorating
Good location 10 min walk to Windermere or catch a bus outside to Bowness-on-Windermere where there a few more shops and bars to eat in. Hotel lovely setting, rooms oldy worldy with very comfy bed. Nice touch with coffee tea water and squash replenished daily.The breakfast was very good set you up for the day full English and nothing too much trouble have as many cups of tea coffees and toast as you like. Didn’t see the owners much they just let you do your own thing but we’re contactable if needed.

Lovely building with thoughtful décor
We stayed for just one night as a stop off to somewhere else and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The breakfast was excellent and there has been thought put into the décor throughout so its a lovely environment. The landscaped garden is delightful and there's a very well-stocked fridge in the lounge so a nice glass of vino in the evening sun is definitely a must. My only gripe is ... given the rooms are so spacious, perhaps invest in some kingsize beds.
