The property boasts exceptionally high standards, including its facilities. The catering is of the highest caliber, featuring steaks sourced from South Africa. The luxurious rooms offer breathtaking views. The fully-equipped gym is an outstanding amenity. The location is conveniently situated, with Ambleside a mere 20-minute stroll away and Bowness a leisurely 1-hour and 30-minute walk distant. The sole concern with the property lies in the limited availability of the spa and its inconvenient timings for guests. I strongly advise carefully considering the spa's timings and booking availability, particularly if utilizing the spa is a primary consideration.

We stayed in the Winander part of the hotel. The room was nice with a great view but the whole experience wasn’t 4 star. There was supposed to be a separate check in in this building but we had to walk over to the main building for this. Breakfast was meant to be served in the Winander block too but this was cancelled in the morning. Understand things can happen lat minute but the rooms are charged at a higher rate for these ‘elite’ services. The front of the main hotel also had scaffolding up which made it look unsightly. Again understand work may need to be done but the hotel should advise people in advance. This trip was for my husband’s birthday and it didn’t have the 4 star wow factor. We are regular travellers and feel it wasn’t worth what we paid sadly. Lake views are stunning from the property and all staff were friendly.

We've stayed in some amazing hotels around the world, but not many beat the location, views and overall experience of The Lowood. Its position on the lake and views across it and up into the Langdales are simply spectacular. Perfectly positioned for sunset too. Whether you are travelling from near or far, If you have booked just B&B be sure to upgrade to access the outdoor spa - it is stunning (do it in advance as places are limited to ensure its not overcrowded). Fingers crossed you get one of those days of sunshine for a full on and mind-blowing combination of nature luxury. We ate twice at the W and the food was fab. An absolute gem of the Lake District.

Disappointed
We originally booked for 2 nights but had to cut short the trip as my partner was bitten by bed bugs and left her with bites all over her ankles and back of her legs. The room was very dated and bathroom basic and unclean in general.when paying a good price for a room u expect good standards. A shame because the hotel grounds are beautiful and restaurants very stylish and view from room was impressive

Fantastic stay
Fantastic stay at the winander club. Service was brilliant and all staff very friendly and helpful. Room was beautiful and to a very high standard. Breakfast was a particular highlight. Good choice and excellent quality. Be warned that not booking directly through the hotel incurs a £12 per night parking charge. We also did the thermal journey in the spa which also included lunch in the blue smoke on the bay. Food was amazing and well worth the money.

Wonderful Hotel
The Low Wood is a wonderful hotel. We were very impressed with the friendly staff and level of service. The location is spectacular. The decor and level of comfort in communal areas is excellent. The only problem was irresponsible dog owners who hadn’t even registered their dog with the hotel and left it alone barking in their room for a very lengthy period This was sorted when staff were made aware of the situation.

Generally lovely stay
It was generally lovely, the second time we’ve stayed. Everything is to a nice standard. It’s also totally worth the stay because the spa is amazing. The most disappointing thing was the breakfast - I wouldn’t have paid for it if it wasn’t included. Everything about the breakfast was pretty average, I’d rather have gone into Ambleside or Keswick and had brunch elsewhere. The window in our room needed attention; it was suffering from damp around the casing. Also the lights in the room were on a bizarre system - it took us ages to get any lights on and off, especially annoying in the middle of the night when you’re going to the bathroom. As I said, it was generally lush. But you expect better with those disappointing features when you’ve paid that much for the stay.

Absolutely everything was just wonderful. The staff were lovely, the food was out of this world, best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel, the spa was phenomenal. I was a little disappointed at having to pay for the spa for 3 hours but after going it’s well worth the money and wouldn’t spend more than 3 hours in there. Room was gorgeous and couldn’t be any closer to the lake unless it was actually in it. We’ll definitely be back.
