4 Star Hotels in Windermere

Lots of positives and would definitely consider staying here again if we were to visit the lakes in the future. The hotel is very well presented, all communal areas are clean, tidy and in great condition. The location is brilliant, you are a short 5-10 minute walk from both Windermere’s main town centre, or the lake front at Bowness. There is a local pub opposite which wasn’t bad either. The building stands impressive at the top of the hill, with a decent sized car park in front, the approach is steep, but it’s easy enough to turn around in. Room was a good size and extremely well equipped with some modern features and luxuries you wouldn’t normally expect. That said, there were a few negatives which could be improved upon. Firstly, we both found the bed extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was firm and unforgiving, only a small notch up from sleeping on a camping bed! Secondly, the room was very hot, and difficult to cool down. We were on the top floor, so quite stuffy due to being up in the roof eves. There is no air conditioning and the windows are fitted with safety catches, so they don’t open wide and there was no way to prop the sash window open. Lastly the walls are thin, and the sound insulation is poor, we had a young family next door so it was quite noisy. A couple of other really minor things to mention, the TV remote didn’t work very well. Think the batteries need changing, we did try others from the light up mirror but this was barely working, so I don’t think these had much juice either and whilst the room had an iron, there was no ironing board - again, nothing major. Overall, a decent stay for the price and we feel it represents good value for money. With some small improvements this could be excellent.

I saw this B&B on Ctrip. I booked it decisively because the recommendation ranks among the top three in the Lake District. After I checked in, I found it was worthy of the name. It’s only 10 minutes away from Windermere Lake and it can provide a swimming pool, but it’s more than a mile away from the room. There are plenty of breakfasts to choose from, and I recommend the first English breakfast, very authentic! There are free parking spaces. The room is quite clean and the layout is very careful. It can be seen that the owner of the house has spent a lot of attention on the details. My boyfriend and I think this is the best after staying in four stores in the UK. It's the little things that count! The owner of the house, John, is very enthusiastic. He will recommend travel routes and speak some Chinese. I would recommend this store if I have friends who travel to the Lake District~

This is a family bed and breakfast hotel, the overall environment is clean and tidy. We need to open the door to check in by ourselves. When we arrived, we called and called. A thin boy should be the son of the host's family. Helping us to take our luggage to the third floor was really hard work. Breakfast was written on the list in advance, it was very rich and full. Overall stay good

Very cozy little hotel, run by a Chinese couple, very friendly and welcoming. I studied here, came here for a holiday, and settled on this hotel. Although I feel that the house is more chronological, the real number is very well preserved, the decoration is exquisite, clean and tidy, and the details are great. It is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. The town is not big. It is also very convenient to go to other towns on foot or by bus. I booked a single room, the decoration made people feel comfortable and warm, and the hygiene was great. I must call for breakfast. I have been in the UK for a month. This is the best meal I have ever moved. Overall highly recommended

This hotel is great. The location is very convenient, just a minute walk from the train station. The surrounding environment is very quiet, living on the second floor, the front of the large green lawn, the scenery is beautiful, surrounded by villas with good views. It is not far to the scenic spot. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the pier. You can go by boat and take a small train. I will bring friends to live in the future.

Stayed at the Jericho for 3 nights, rooms absolutely stunning, very clean. Good Location ( little noise from the cash & carry up the road) rooms are warm , but can’t complain as there is a fan provided. ( quiet fan) Steve & Hayley are excellent hosts , breakfast was amazing & very generous😁 Only thing I’d like to mention is that the restaurants stopped taking food orders from 9.o’clock , not known this we hadn’t eaten on the first night of our stay( although we did see a Kabab shop). Fab pubs we visited & very friendly was The Queens , The Crafty Baa ( very interesting, in a good way) Boot Trip , Brown Sugar ( food lovely & lovely atmosphere) few places down by the promenade . Loved are stay at Lake Windermere.

Good bits: our suite was very nice and the breakfast food on offer was good even though you had to come down at a prearranged timeslot. The bad is that the overall management of this hotel, in our experience, was very poor. There were multiple occasions (in just 2 days) when what was arranged and agreed was just not acted upon. Here's some examples: On arrival a member of staff kindly reserved a breakfast table for 4 the following morning (as we were staying with another couple) but it was taken by somebody else when we came down so we had to assume this information wasn't passed to the breakfast team. We then arranged for seating for 5 people at breakfast the following morning - different staff member said that was fine and made a note of the room numbers - yet again this wasn't done and when we asked them to make up an unoccupied table set up for 4 to a 5 (plenty of room to add another chair ) this was refused. Weeks before arriving our friends had asked for their room to be set up as a twin rather than a double but of course that hadn't been done either. We asked for our room not to be serviced during our 2 night stay yet the first morning staff knocked to come in when my partner was on the toilet - again relevant details not passed on. We were told we had reserved parking spot at the rear of the property but parking was a free-for-all. The reception area seemed to be locked up and unmanned most of the time. Yes, there was a bell to ring, but you'd expect a member of staff to be visible especially in the mornings. Finally, whilst most staff were friendly and polite, one senior staff member was off-hand when dealing with a simple request (and we overheard her being brusque with another couple). Her attitude was unpleasant and gave the impression that customers were really a bit of a nuisance. Maybe we just picked a bad weekend so whilst it wasn't a totally awful stay by any means there was enough incidents over a short period to put us off staying there again or recommending it to anyone if it continues to be run in this slack and unprofessional way. I do worry for its future.

In my last post I said I would be back again so when they announced there new Sunday roasts I couldn’t resist. Safe to say I wasn’t disappointed! Starting off with a Celeriac soup which was to die for, not my usual choice but it had some serious flavour. For main we had beef cooked to perfection served with a generous portion of veggies. And finally I finished on the Raspberry soufflé which may be the best desert I have ever eaten. The staff once again warm and friendly and the views are just wow. What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday

This hotel is a good choice for self-guided travel. The location is not far from the station. It takes about 5 or 6 minutes to push your luggage downhill. It is a family hotel. The facilities are incomparable to the big hotels, but they have everything they should have, and the landlord The couple are very enthusiastic, and the breakfast is very good. The three-story loft has two double-bed rooms, the room is not big, but the bathroom is large, and the second floor is a twin room and two rooms.
