Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience at the hotel. Really relaxing. Recommended."

Elim House

8/10 Good

"Elim House is a cute little nook in Windermere to spend a few nights. Staff is lovely and kind, the room is clean and comfortable if not a bit small if you've got 2 bags. It's very close to lots of delicious spots to eat and a great hike just up the road a bit."

Aphrodites Group

10/10 Excellent

"In easy reach of Bowness, lovely private location, ample free parking. Rooms very clean and great in room facilities. Just think room service breakfast could have ended a little later especially if paid for a late check out"

Linthwaite House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel, as you would expect, is immaculate. Special notice must be given to the grounds keeping staff. I have never stayed at a property with such well-manicured flowers and fauna. It really added to the ambiance of the stay. Breakfast is wonderful, do take advantage of it. As for the dining, the menu was too over the top for us as a general statement. We find Michelin star or noted restaurants to be too adventurous for us, generally but we managed well enough. This is a very peaceful and supremely quiet house in the country."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"lovely hotel, clean and tidy exceptional views, cant wait for the spa to be finished!"

Lindeth Howe Hotel

10/10 Excellent
