Lakes Hotel and Spa
This hotel was in the heart of Bowness and Windermere. The staff on the whole were fantastic and friendly. The room we had was very spacious and comfortable with a brilliant view of the lake. Breakfast was as expected for £15

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa
Great stay beautiful hotel, staff were great. As a travel agent the only thing id personally expect is better amenities in the room such as coffee machine ect. I think for the price you pay for a room these could be an improvement. Everything else was great!
