We booked this property as dog friendly , and after making the booking I contacted the property to request an early check in , which was an extra £20 , which I was happy to pay , I mentioned we were bringing 2 small dogs , the lady said they had no more dog friendly rooms ! As such we had to go through the annoying process of cancelling the booking with Expedia . Which was long winded . There should be dog friendly rooms listed on the room selection. However every cloud ! We managed to book a dog friendly room at the Windermere Hillthwaite , wow what a lovely place , staff amazing and highly recommend going with your furry friends 👍

Staff helpful, hotel tired in all areas, floorboards squeaked all over my room and in the corridor. Looking forward to fried breakfast, when the waiter came to take my order, I was in the door g friendly area, I said what’s the options and he said full English without saying what it consists of. I just said no tomato without knowing if it was on there. When it came it was very overcooked though the scrambled egg was good. Would I stay again n? No, it is as more like a hostel

Had a very surprising experience, paid £65 for 1 single room and didn’t expect much due to the price, just something cheap and cheerful, maybe a bit dated. Room massively surpassed expectations - view of lake Windermere, minimal white/grey design, really clean, and to top it off, an amazing power shower that went ARCTIC COLD (for those who do cold showers, this one’s for you). Had the best stay! Also, it’s right next to the entrance for the walk up to Orrest head for a full panoramic view of Windermere. Perfection.

Not what i expected. It was ok staff were all friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel looked a better standard online that in person. Needs updating not just a lick of paint. I knòw its an old building and would have some creaky floors but the whole bathroom floor wherever you stood creaked i could hear the persin in the next room taking a shower also creaking. There was a difference in floor level going into the room where the beds were which i nearly fell over no warning of it being there. You could feel the floor move when other guest walked in the area. Didnt sleep well could hear snoring from the next room which i know the hotel cant control. The beds at first felt comfy but woke up with aches in side hips back etc the cushions were lovely and comfy tho. Toilet roll was cheap and thin, no shampoo in dispenser but we did bring our own so not a problem. Breakfast the food was ok not very hot to say they are even kept in warmer containers. Second night had food poisoning dont know where from as we ate out apart from breakfast so left early didnt have second breakfast. Parking i feel should be included in stay not extra! Sorry we wouldnt return for another visit.

The property was good value for the price but very dated. Hated the shower curtain in the bathroom and the electricians tape around the heated towel rail. The Hotel is not located where the map on Expedia shows you it is located in Windermere not Bowness and is 1.4 miles from the centre of Bowness up a very steep hill
