The hotel is in a fantastic location within easy reach of all the amenities of Windermere. Although room clean and towels, bedding clean the whole hotel and all rooms could be renovated and corridors could do with a good hoover. No maid service during stay. Also lift out of order and this seems to been out of order for some time reading previous reviews. Orrest restaurant / bar that was advertised was closed. We did try an evening meal in the hotel but very disappointing none of us could eat main course tasted like a whole salt pot had been used so decided against breakfast as plenty of choices to eat in Windermere. Hotel did not charge us for main meal after we complained.Would not stay again.

The hotel itself is clean and tidy, as are the grounds. The rooms are also clean and pleasant. We did not have breakfast as we wanted to explore Windermere itself. However we did see the dining area and food there and it looked very nice. Parking provided was easy and accessible. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Breakfast lacked fresh fruit - just tinned pineapple slices. Location was good as it was easy to walk into the town. Ample parking but at an additional charge. Hotel is very plain in terms of decor.

Internet service was good, rooms were clean if a little dated, bar was not very well stocked, staff were friendly up until you wanted anything slightly out of the ordinary or had an issue, then they tried their best to ignore you or just tell you nothing could be done about it. In particular the parking, despite having to pay for 2 nights parking there was none available on the Saturday night and we were told to park in the layby down the road, but were still charged.

Like walking into Fawlty Towers The hotel felt quite dated but cosy. Our room was small, very warm, and definitely in need of an upgrade for the price. Plenty of hot water and a good shower though. We stayed with our dachshund, and were disappointed with the dog experience. The room clearly had strong smells from previous dogs, and we were surprised to find the dog fee was £20 per night, not per stay as we’d thought. For that price, we expected a bit more — no treats, bowls, blanket, or even a welcome note for dogs, which other hotels often provide. The hotel said the charge covers a deep clean, but it still felt excessive for what was offered. Breakfast was in a separate room since the main restaurant isn’t dog friendly, but the Orrest Bar was lovely — we enjoyed a meal there with Stan and played dominoes, which was a nice touch. We booked 3 nights B&B but left after 2 because of poor sleep — the mattress was uncomfortable, and there was a lot of noise from rooms above, leaving me with a sore back. We still had to pay for the full stay and all dog charges. Their response when we told them why we were checking out early- ‘sorry, but nothing we can do about that!’ Overall, it was an expensive stay for what we got. Fine for a night, but we wouldn’t return, especially with a dog.

The room walls were thin and i could hear everything in the neighbours room next to my room. Apart from that the service was great service with staff and clean too.

We only stayed for 2 nights so we only went back to the hotel to sleep. Excellent shower, nice view from the window. The only draw back for me was the lift had broken and we were on the second floor

Nice historic building and exterior. Nice and close to station. Good things end there. Paint in rooms is old and scuffed, with various marks on the walls and doors. Can hear everything happening in the hallways. Good water pressure, but temperature could only be described as lukewarm. Breakfast was average and not worth it.

6.0 / 10.0

Too many coach parties which made the breakfast experience not enjoyable.

Nice Hotel. In desperate need of a re-furb, which I believe starts in Oct 2025. Should be first class when done. Surrounding area nice. Quick access for town. Binoculars needed for lake view.

4.0 / 10.0

Internet was fine, cleanliness middle of the road, bar was closed, the place needs a little investment

8.0 / 10.0

We liked that the hotel was close to buses and town making it easy to get to around etc.Catering staff etc were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.The lift broke on our 3rd day of 7 night stay and remained out of order for rest of our stay. which was a bit of a problem as my wife had to hobble upstairs with her walking stick.Although the room was clean and tidy it was not as good as we were expecting it to be.The online brochure showed a very nice room but was not the same as the one we were given.Rooms like the one we had should have been shown in the brochure so we knew what room we were paying for. It was a very basic room and we expected more.We were very dissappointed with that as with my wifes mobility problems ,she struggled to step in and out of the bath.We also did not know about the £6 a night car parking charge until after we had booked and paid.We decided to travel by train because of this extra charge because we thought this was very wrong.Guests only should be allowed to park free of charge by taking registration of your vehicle like other hotels do..There was a bar and extra facilities but they were shut so we did not have the chance to see what that was like.On our last night dog was barking most of the evening in an nearby room,which kept us awake most of the night.We feel guests with dogs should be in a separate part of the hotel for health,hygiene and noise reasons.

It was an ok cheap break but then having to pay £20 per night for the dog (I get it to a point but nothing extra for them)but I didn’t know I had to pay for parking at the hotel, £6 per night but if you ate a meal at the bar that was closed it was free. So a cheap two night get away really wasn’t.

2.0 / 10.0

Bed had springs that were broken, big cracks up the walls, didn’t seem clean really at all

4.0 / 10.0

Unwelcoming staff, room smelt damp possibly a room where they allow dogs to stay, bathroom door didnt shut properly mould on curtains, pictures of rooms very deceiving looks nice but was not worth the money. I am sure they have nice rooms, on good note Hotel in prime location to walk to shops and restaurants.
