    Just the look of the outside of the hotel,looks a bit dated and unloved,however the inside did not reflect the inside,in a good way.Everything else was spot on, well done.

    Staff were lovely,accomodating,really good customer service.

    Room a little too warm despite turning heating off. Pillows could do with a change. Thought parking was free but there is a small charge per day

    Good location. Nice clean room, staff friendly and helpful.

    The hotel itself inside is a bit outdated with ripped carpets in the corridors but nothing that a good lick of paint and new carpets couldn't fix. Have to pay £6 per day for parking which was an added cost but was written on booking description and around the hotel so not an unexpected cost.

    Hotel was in a great location for walking into Windermere ( downhill about 45 minutes). Across the road from the train station and buses stop regularly outside. The hotel staff were all really pleasant and seemed happy to be there, always giving a warm welcome. Brilliant hot, full breakfast available with cereal and pastries. Chef always visibly coming in and out of kitchen, with all clean aprons.

    Meals provision was not good for dinner. Breakfast was ok Restaurant was"fully booked" with a coach party. They suggested the Hotel bistro, but this was expensive and the quality was very poor. Needless to say, there was no one else in - we should have realised why?

    Location was very good.

    Expensive, restaurant wouldn’t take food orders even though they was really quiet. Extra pay for parking which should be included in the already high price tag

    Our room was tiny but we were able to take the dog with us. Room was very well cleaned. I could hear someone coughing all night and they had their tv on all night. However that wasn't the hotels fault. All the staff I met were lovely and helpful.

    Our room was chilly even though the radiators were on so had a warm bath. We couldn't open the drawers in our room which had the hairdryer in. Luckily I packed my own hairdryer at the very last minute from home.

    I liked the view from our room window., Carparking was good value compared to some other hotel parking.

    The beds felt smaller than a double and were too small for the two of us. The walls must be thin because we could hear one person talking from another room all night. £6 parking.

    The location is ideal. Good value for money. Nice atmosphere at breakfast. Cosy room. Nice staff.

    Room was very warm even with the window open. Parking was extra to be paid even though we had paid to stay in the hotel so would have expected this to include the parking.

    The room was standard but everything I expected and was comfortable. The shower was lovely and hot and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good and enjoyable and not expensive. Staff friendly and willing to help.

    Paying for parking at the hotel £6 per night, I feel the cost of stay should more than cover parking, and i recommend driving to the lake as it is too far to walk

    Nice spot small rooms but comfortable could do with updating liked the orrock bar nice atmosphere food was great

    £6 per night for parking seemed a bit steep. However, I guess there is a parking problem in the whole town in the summer!

    The Windermere Hotel was great. Good location for the town and surrounding area. Warm, comfortable bed, clean. Having the Orrest bar next door was excellent.

    Tv cable was over stretched so was damaged a bit. Therefore the TV would glitch and I had to fiddle with the cable to get a clear image and sound.
