Avoid at all costs - hotel in disrepair

The hotel is in very poor condition and dated The hinge to our door was loose and the door was wobbly, there were parts of the floor which were sunken and the gap for the toilet was tiny - we were visiting the toilets downstairs as we found the toilet inaccessible! The room was also dirty in places Very disappointed and ruined our weekend away in the Lakes.

This property is at a very convenient location from the railway station. The staff is very rude and not welcoming at all. Breakfast doesnt have any variety and taste was not great.Family rooms are at ground floor (as told by the receptionist) with no view at all.

Short stay

The hotel is situated right next to the station and town centre! It is away from the lake though. The hotel is ok, service was good and breakfast was good! However the rooms and bathroom will need to be renovated and are old fashioned! A fridge would have been good and the heating switches off which made it cold for us, especially when you are there in winter months.

Nice night at The Windermere Hotel

A lovely one night stay at The Windermere Hotel. Really nice staff and a lovely bed to rest your head after a day out in Bowness for drinks and a meal. Very decent breakfast too. Hotel might need a little ‘love’ but I’d definitely stay there again

Windermere Hotel

It was certainly value for money, but we only stayed one night so I can't give a comprehensive analysis. The room was OK except for the fact that a previous occupant was obviously a heavy smoker and the room smelt strongly of tobacco. There were no evening meals (at least maybe not in January). Breakfast was ok.

Tiny room

Probably the most basic/ smallest room we’ve stayed in for years! If you’re looking for a budget hotel, good location. But bed was to small and uncomfortable. Don’t think I’d stay again
