I checked in super late and they had a game plan in place to accommodate my late arrival even though there is not a person on site after hours. The location is awesome to access the restaurants, shops, and activities within Windermere. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Nice staff, although weren’t flexible about cancelling or changing the reservation when asked. Area is nice and close to the town. Room and bathroom were nice. The bed was annoying for a couple, as it was supposed to be a superior double room but the bed was two single beds put together. The bed sheets were supposed to hold the two beds together, but it didn’t really work well. Sleeping together would mean one of you would end up sinking into the gap in between the two beds. Overall very clean, only the kettle needed a little re-clean upon arrival.

Sue and the team are so pleasant to be around. They do a superb job of making you feel as if you’re at home the breakfast is divine, hands-down, perfection. The character and charm of this hotel is perfect for somebody looking for an ideal landscape and atmosphere. I had a hard time leaving this hotel;)

The hotel is very cute and homey. Everything was within walking distance. The only recommendation I have is if you are a larger size person request a room with a bigger bathroom because there’s really no room to maneuver around the regular sized ones if you are a larger sized person
