We stayed 3 nights from September 3-6 2024.
Windermere is truly the "Lady of the Lake". We enjoyed all the amenities, the beautiful grounds, the heated pool, the jacuzzi, the outdoor saunas and most of all the tennis court. The room was huge, the beds were comfortable. The TV's internet connection issue was quickly resolved, and a replacement TV was provided.
However, regrettably, we were NOT made aware (at least it is not CLEARLY indicated on the resort's website; although I did find it after the fact) that the restaurant is closed Monday to Thursday after Labour Day. Although, the pub is open; however, we did not travel for 3 hrs to eat pizza and hamburgers! This, we can do at one of the establishments in our neighbourhood. Finding another restaurant was not part of our plan and would have required a 30-45 min drive.
Of course, there is a bar, unfortunately without any bartender in sight! One more thing: the mention of bike trails is an exaggeration.
Despite this, if one decides to go after Labour Day, one must consider the existing dining room arrangements.
Conclusion: a wonderful place.
