Top Windermere Hotel Reviews

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, bar lovely, room very nice and clean, food excellent for price, spa nice"

The Angel Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"The Angel Inn was lovely and the staff couldn't have been nicer. There were some free things when using their app which were welcome. The inclusive breakfast was great and the location in Windermere was excellent allowing us to walk around the town and to the shore of the lake for boat trips. The rooms were very small even for one person so I think 2 might be challenging and the parking is not sufficient for all guests so it was hit or miss whether you got a space. Highly recommended though."

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location & views from the hotel, short walk from the Lakes. Specious room. Food menu is good. Nice staff. We hired eBikes, Oliver was really helpful. Reception was quick easy check-in. Can't fault anything about the stay."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was perfect location for getting to the lake and getting round the local bars/restaurants and shops. The view from the terrace was stunning and the hotel had lovely architecture. The room was ideal and lake view was gorgeous. Spiderwebs and bugs in the high ceilings were the only thing that let it down (we were staying in room 72). Breakfast had good options and majority of it was lovely. Only comment was the black pudding didn’t seem like it was cooked properly. We ate in the restaurant one night and couldn’t complain at all. I had the fish and chips and was one of the best I had. My partner had the mushroom risotto which was also lovely. But would definitely recommend and stay again"
