"House is clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything we need. Water pressure and temperature in all bathroom are perfect. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The heater in ground floor got very loud noise after few hours central heating been turn on. Need to turn up the heating,(e.g. from 0 to 2, from 2 to 3)to stop the noise. There were high pitch "beeps" from ground floor which woke everyone in house at 3am and 3:30am on the first night. Sounds like the smoke detector but we were not sure. However,...

"Lovely property, very convenient for Windermere area. It was handy that all three bedrooms have their own ensuite. It was lacking a little in kitchen utensils if you wanted to properly self-cater. There were some odd little items missing like hand soap in the bathrooms and only one toilet roll in each room, but otherwise clean tidy. It was particularly hot when we were there, so a fan or two would have helped. The door closers could do with adjusting - a couple of the doors slammed loudly if...

"The mattress and pillows were amazing. A great night's sleep. The food at the restaurant on the evening was amazing. Very dog friendly. Outside seating with blankets lovely touch. Well recommended. We enjoyed our stay."

Damson Dene Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel , nice garden with places to sit in among the ducks. Clean rooms . Bit unsure on how to get into the model village on site , no information on it anywhere. Got to the gate only to find you needed a ticket from reception which is a good way back up hill so didn’t bother. Sign at reception would have been a good idea. Lovely receptionist when we checked in but the one in the morning was so miserable, never smiled and just seemed like she didn’t want to be there . Having said that would definitely stay again , comfortable hotel"

Station Inn

8/10 Good

"A family of 4 we stayed in Troutbeck, it was a really large room and bathroom for four. Lovely extra touches like tissues, room diffuser and body lotion. It was a little hot as it’s in the attic but it was the hottest day of the year ! We drove and there’s a massive car park but it would not be an easy walk uphill from the station."

Watermill Inn & Brewing Co

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for Windermere, and the food was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely return if in the area."

Hare & Hounds

10/10 Excellent

"The bedroom and bathroom were lovely, the breakfasts amazing, the staff always happy to help and the location just off the A590 was perfect for exploring the whole Lake District. My only rejoinder was that the stairs to the rooms are a little challenging for someone like me who is mobility impaired. Additional banisters and/or handles would greatly help but I managed overall and we were very happy with our stay. Evening meals were exceptional too. I would rank the Hare and Hounds in Levens as being in the top 1% of bed and breakfast inns I have stayed in out of maybe 150 visited in he past 5 years. Thoroughly recommended!"
