Lovely Quiet Retreat
Lovely hotel in a great location, just round the west side of the Lake. This made it a lot quieter than most other hotels around the lake.
Wish the waiting staff would smile a little more, it makes such a difference

Will be perfect when renovations completed.
The communal areas of the hotel are modern and stunning. The bedroom we were initially put in was very shabby and dated. I complained as I'd booked the hotel for a special occasion and thankfully the lady on reception was really lovely and moved us to a new room which was stunning.

Fantastic location and lovely hotel with great staff, only downsides where the spa pool wasn’t relaxing due to when we used the pool it had kids playing with water guns and splashing around, So wouldn’t say it is a Spa hotel to relax in and treatments where over priced. Plus bar is cashless

Great hotel! Amazing stay!
Great hotel, amazing stay! We loved the location, just by the lake! Good base either for hiking around Windermere or for exploring the area by car. The hotel, although it could be considered by someone slightly tired, it was spotless clean and always warm, with efficient central heating throughout! The Spa facilities were brilliant. Two areas for improvement, restaurant prices were a bit high, fierce competition in the area and the rowerg in the gym needs some TLC but we overall had a lovely break in Lakeside Hotel and we will certainly be back!

Fabulous Anniversary weekend
Superb stay for our anniversary. Accomadated the dog which was great.
Even got ev charging points which only found out aboout at end of stay £25 per day . Would of meant no need to detour to kendal sainsburys on route .
Great base for exploring lakes , not in the full hustle bustle of bowness but only a 40 min boat ride away .

A Welcome Break
Very relaxing, obviously out of season but plenty staff available. Great accommodation looking over gardens and across lake windermere. Spa was available and a nice sized swimming pool, jacuzzi & sauna's. Limited menu, but still a good choice and variety.

Not very good value for money.
Disappointed. Room (Lakeview Suite) needed a bit of an upgrade. Bed slanted. Dinner was quite nice. Service was odd.
Breakfast was awful and service wasn’t great. Check in and out was just weird as staff were throwing things at each other and mucking about.
Car park is public access and we found people taking photos sat on our car bonnet!
It’s not cheap at £300 pn. Expected slightly better condition, fridge/minibar would have been good. Windows which open.
