Popular Windermere 4-star Hotels

I booked this stay for my husbands birthday. I have stayed at a few spa resorts and to be honest I was left underwhelmed by the experience. We had a 'dirty towel ' in the room which smelt dirty and had stains on it. I did get it changed and the lady was very apologetic. If tgat was it then it would have been fine however the service in the bar was atrocious. We went to the bar on Saturday evening. We had to wait 10 minutes to get served which was fine but then from asking for our cocktail order we had to wait a further 25 minutes. The poor young boy on the bar was new and didn't know how to make cocktails so he had to wait for Leah, to take over. That would have been fine except Leah was flirting with 2 men at the bar from a wedfing party and kept us waiting 25 minutes from placing our order to actually receiving it. Then I know it is petty but when you are buying a passion fruit martini you sort of expect the half passion fruit. But no. Not here. There wasn't any. Neither were there any cocktail straws to drink it - only full sized strangers?? Apart from the dirty towel the room was mediocre. Please can someone from management lie on the sofa bed in room 275? The springs in the mattress have gone and my poor daughter had to endure a night on what was excruciating. I think a bag of spanners would have been more comfortable. Please can the manager just check thus out? Finally as I said I have stayed in a lot of spa resorts and though this is a beautiful location the attention to detail let's it down. No tissues or slippers in the room and we booked for 3 but only had towels and gowns for 2. For the price I expected more sorry.

Great hotel, clean and comfortable! The towel rack in the bathroom is heated, very comfortable. Self-service check-in, the room code will be sent to the email on the day of check-in. The whole hotel is quiet, the parking lot is sufficient, and the two-bedroom we booked is very suitable for a family of three.

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.

Beautiful outstanding property, exceeded our expectations. Bedroom although within the eaves of the property was still very spacious and well equipped. Amazing big shower and plenty of hangers in the wardrobe. A really cosy room. Breakfast both mornings was fantastic, very quick service too. Loved the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon a real treat! We met Hayley and she was very friendly and extremely attentive. The whole property was beautifully decorated and we felt it was 5 star quality

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.

Very cozy little hotel, run by a Chinese couple, very friendly and welcoming. I studied here, came here for a holiday, and settled on this hotel. Although I feel that the house is more chronological, the real number is very well preserved, the decoration is exquisite, clean and tidy, and the details are great. It is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. The town is not big. It is also very convenient to go to other towns on foot or by bus. I booked a single room, the decoration made people feel comfortable and warm, and the hygiene was great. I must call for breakfast. I have been in the UK for a month. This is the best meal I have ever moved. Overall highly recommended

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.

The environment is great. You can see the lake when you go out. It is the hotel's private lake view. The room is also large and the hygiene is good in all aspects. There is no elevator, but staff can carry luggage. But it is more suitable for self-driving friends. There are very few bus trips and you can only take a taxi. In the Lake District, there are only local taxis and no Uber.

The hotel is very distinctive, similar to a high-quality B&B. Parking is very convenient, right in front of the hotel, with plenty of parking spaces and free of charge. The hotel is located at a higher point with a good view. It is very pleasant to get up in the morning and bathe in the morning light of the town. The breakfast is a typical English breakfast and you can eat enough. The hotel is close to the yachting place on the lake, about 10 minutes' walk. The Peter Rabbit Exhibition Hall and the pier are next to each other. I will stay here again if I have a chance next time.
