It felt tired, the interior needed to be updated.

Exceptional breakfast was offered (salmon, tuna, meats and cheeses, fruits, pastries, eggs, bacon, yogurts, juices) and thoughtfully presented. The hotel is doing a lot to recover and it shows. They've added private saunas and a hot tub. The rooms are big and dated, but the beds were comfortable and the linens were crisp and clean. The staff were lovely! I highly recommend the restaurant onsite. They had a 7 course tasting meal when we were there and my expectations were exceeded!

It was -22 at night on the weekend that we went so space heaters were deployed in the restaurant. The food was excellent but got cold quickly as it was a little chilly in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful and went out of there way to accommodate special requests. We will definitely return.

The included breakfast was amazing. We found upon arrival that there was more to do than we expected, outdoor hot tub and barrel saunas have been recently added.

Wait staff at the Windermere Pub could have been more attentive. We were left waiting for long periods of time.

Excellent

Pillows for the bed: so very uncomfortable. I heard several people expressing the same thing. One person had a few poor nights sleep b/c of the pillows. I am sure they will rectify this. Everything else was fine.

Didn’t seem to have a fan in the bathroom.

Clean and comfortable.

Please see above for like and dislike/suggestions.

We like the property and the staff. Our room needed a second chair. The breakfasts needed some variety from one day to the next. Service in the dining room was very slow, but the staff was courteous.

Windermere is a beautiful spot with friendly staff, great food and awesome views. We were disappointed that the pub was not open when we were there. It opens on the Thursday and we arrived on the Tuesday. We have stayed at Windermere before and have sat outside on the pubs patio. Will make sure it’s open on our next visit.

There are a few aspects around the edges that could use some love, for instance the separate stone staircase that is nearest the marina is not weeded or kept up. Things like that. Drinks took a while because the bartendar was new/training, but that's the sort of staffing issue you'll find all over these days.

Windermere is the class of Muskoka if you're looking for a getaway at a boutique hotel. Large by that standard, it has very good facilities. A well-run restaurant with very good food, also a pub operating Thu-Sun, an integrated spa, and there's a golf course across the street. Of course you have the lake and can get out on there with hotel kayaks or rent a boat and so forth. The hotel is in an old style but due to a movie filming mishap, is new from the ground up. Which means it has the feel of a classic old place, and yet has modern amenities and structure, so the rooms are very quiet. Beds very comfortable with nice linens.

The grounds were well cared for and the staff was excellent

Lovely setting. ……inside and out.

All the rain that week.

The laid back atmosphere

Stayed in August 2021

The room was uninspiring and not worth the nightly rate. The bed was very uncomfortable. We had a garden view room through the tiniest of windows, which meant there was very little natural light in the room. The bathroom was clean, but the water pressure in the shower was awful. The window sill in the bathroom was directly in the spray of the shower where you could see water damage and mould. The room didn’t even have a mini fridge to keep water cold on a particularly hot weekend.

Restaurants and main facilities were nice and well maintained. We enjoyed being able to borrow kayaks one morning. Staff were friendly and helpful, but not consistent in wearing masks throughout the property.

Outdoor dining overlooking the water - nice!

There should not be such a high corkage fee for bringing your own wine to the table. That is a definite discouragement.

The location was the best. We enjoyed the water craft and the amenities that Lake Roseau has to offer.
