Windermere Homestays

Environment: A beautiful old English-style house, the interior is exquisite, compact, neat and clean, with many cute little ornaments. Facilities: Warm bedding, snow-white towels, free sparkling water, welcome milk. There is a hot water kettle and bedside USB socket. Meals: There are seven or eight set meals to choose from for breakfast. The full English style is very rich. You can even choose low-calorie coffee and low-calorie tea! Service: The landlord is very kind and gentleman, and can speak ”omelet” and ”poached egg” in Chinese.

Another fabulous stay at Jericho's. Very welcoming, and the room was very comfortable. Slept well, and the bed was large and comfortable, breakfast offered a wide selection and everything was cooked to perfection. Hayley and Steve are both lovely, friendly hosts and have a very well appointed and welcoming boutique guest house. Location is perfect - quiet, whilst being a couple of minutes walk to all the cafes, bars and eateries Windermere has to offer, as well as offering lots of walks right from the door.

Myself and my mum had a wonderful one night stay here. Simona made us feel very welcome from the first phone call for booking, which I recommend doing directly, to arriving and for the duration of the stay. The building is stunning, the stained glass windows and beautiful architecture kept in the period in which it should be. The room was beautiful and spotless, the beds are really comfy. There was a range of hot drinks and biscuits and ice cold water in the room. The shower products are beautiful, they smell divine ! The shower was lovely. Amazing continental breakfast, a range of cereals and fruit and yogurt plus toast. We requested twin beds downstairs which was all catered for. Perfect spot for Bowness and Windermere town, you can walk, about 15/20 minutes to Bowness or there is a bus down as well, 5 minutes into town where there are lots of eating places and shops etc. Made to feel so very welcome, Simon’s is really interesting lady so do stop to chat if she has time, would absolutely recommend staying here, they make you feel like friends not customers. I have already recommended to friends and family. Thank you so much.

Very warm family hotel, great location, walking distance to Bowness and cruise ship terminal, although this time I stayed in Windermere for one night, but it was still super enjoy, their English breakfast was like nothing to say 😋

This hotel is great. The location is very convenient, just a minute walk from the train station. The surrounding environment is very quiet, living on the second floor, the front of the large green lawn, the scenery is beautiful, surrounded by villas with good views. It is not far to the scenic spot. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the pier. You can go by boat and take a small train. I will bring friends to live in the future.

Good bits: our suite was very nice and the breakfast food on offer was good even though you had to come down at a prearranged timeslot. The bad is that the overall management of this hotel, in our experience, was very poor. There were multiple occasions (in just 2 days) when what was arranged and agreed was just not acted upon. Here's some examples: On arrival a member of staff kindly reserved a breakfast table for 4 the following morning (as we were staying with another couple) but it was taken by somebody else when we came down so we had to assume this information wasn't passed to the breakfast team. We then arranged for seating for 5 people at breakfast the following morning - different staff member said that was fine and made a note of the room numbers - yet again this wasn't done and when we asked them to make up an unoccupied table set up for 4 to a 5 (plenty of room to add another chair ) this was refused. Weeks before arriving our friends had asked for their room to be set up as a twin rather than a double but of course that hadn't been done either. We asked for our room not to be serviced during our 2 night stay yet the first morning staff knocked to come in when my partner was on the toilet - again relevant details not passed on. We were told we had reserved parking spot at the rear of the property but parking was a free-for-all. The reception area seemed to be locked up and unmanned most of the time. Yes, there was a bell to ring, but you'd expect a member of staff to be visible especially in the mornings. Finally, whilst most staff were friendly and polite, one senior staff member was off-hand when dealing with a simple request (and we overheard her being brusque with another couple). Her attitude was unpleasant and gave the impression that customers were really a bit of a nuisance. Maybe we just picked a bad weekend so whilst it wasn't a totally awful stay by any means there was enough incidents over a short period to put us off staying there again or recommending it to anyone if it continues to be run in this slack and unprofessional way. I do worry for its future.

We decided to get married, a small wedding with just 8 family members, Haisthorpe House accommodated us all quite easily. A very affordable stay, exceptionally clean and sanitised covid friendly guest house located perfectly in Windermere, 2 minutes walk to the restaurants, pubs and local amenities. What a charming house, every room has luxurious quality, from cosy mattresses that help you get your best night's sleep, lovely bathrooms and towels, elegant furnishings that all came together to make you feel very relaxed, and comfortable, the photos don't do justice to such a gorgeous house, we just loved everything, an excellent stay with the perfect hosts. Tim and Cathy are so very kind and welcoming, they went above and beyond to make our stay and Our Wedding Day just wonderful, from turning the breakfast room into a place for us to make our wedding bouquets, then the next day decorating the room with flowers and white tablecloths making it look and feel so elegant, and hosting a wedding breakfast for us all. Cathy makes the most delicious Lemon drizzle cake filled with Tim’s wonderful homemade damson jam, truly scrumptious, with drinks and music topped off with their warm and friendly demeanour, they made our whole family feel at home, like we were family with their warm heart and sincerity, we are so very indebted to them for opening their home and their hearts that made our simple wedding a truly beautiful day. Thank you so much. Anyone who wants a small cosy wedding should absolutely arrange your stay here.

Lynn snd Mike are superb hosts .Clearly they haven’t just opened “yet another B&B in Windermere” . This is really something special with thoughtful attention given to decor and comfort as well as to the lovely welcome and hospitality throughout our stay. , We really appreciated the little touches they have added to make our stay so enjoyable and memorable. Anyone could and should run a clean and tidy B& B but when you find yourself talking about their choice of furniture or drapes in the room or table settings you know the basics are already there. The only souvenir I would have stolen given half the chance was Alfie the gentle collie who we fell in love with. We wish Lynn and Mine every success.

The landlady will greet you very warmly and explain to you how to open and close the door and the breakfast time. The room is also very quiet and not in the downtown area. It is a two-minute walk from the library station, and the 599 bus from the station to the hotel is just two stops away. The hotel room is also relatively large, and the bathroom water temperature is sufficient. Apart from the soft mattress, there are no other faults. like

What a perfect weekend we’ve just had in The Lakes. We stayed two nights at 1 Park Road and can not fault it. The room was beautiful, the whole place was immaculate, breakfasts were delicious, and Hilton was a lovely host with meticulous attention to detail. The hotel is superbly located just a five minute walk into the heart of Windermere village, 15minutes to Bowness, 20 minutes to the Lake. We will definitely stay here again.
