Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at The Lamplighter in Windermere. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location for exploring the Lake District. Windermere is such a great little town — beautiful, relaxing, and full of charm. We loved walking around, exploring the local shops and restaurants, and taking in the scenery. The evening staff at the hotel were absolutely wonderful from the moment we checked in. Dinner service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming, and they even took the time to give us recommendations for things to do in the area, which made our trip even better. Unfortunately, our checkout experience was not nearly as positive. There was apparently an internet issue with the hotel’s payment system that caused all of my cards to be declined. The morning clerk, Fernando, repeatedly insisted the issue was on my end, despite me explaining that multiple cards were failing. This conversation happened in front of other guests, which honestly felt embarrassing and uncomfortable. Later it became clear that the issue was actually with the hotel’s own system and not my cards at all. What disappointed me most was that there was never any apology or acknowledgment after realizing the mistake. A simple apology would have gone a long way. That said, aside from the unfortunate checkout interaction, the rest of the staff and our overall stay were genuinely very good, and we would still recommend both The Lamplighter and Windermere.

Staff very pleasant and helpful.

The room was clean and bed very comfy. The bathroom could do with some extra tlc as the shower was not as clean as expected. All staff were pleasant and the breakfast was very good.

Roomv clean, staff very attentive, food excellent

The menu was good, but not exceptional. The staff were very helpful, but we did not realise that the hotel was going to be full of dogs. The were seven tables in the dining area and six had dogs at them. The carpets smelled of stale dog in all their form. The carpets were stained especially in the bedroom that we occupied.

Enjoyed my stay hotel comfortable clean and staff friendly and accommodating I would definitely recommend I would definitely go and stay longer if price is right

Good location, lovely hotel, great breakfast

Large Hotel very close to the beach/ promenade! Very dog- friendly with good dining and breakfast

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel. Even worse, the bathtub was completely clogged. When I first entered the bathroom, it hadn’t even been cleaned properly and was full of soap scum. I had to call someone to clean it, and surprisingly, there was not even a single word of apology. After the so-called cleaning, the bathtub was still not usable. Overall, the hotel feels old and poorly maintained. Honestly, they really need a full renovation. The breakfast was not good - the taste is below expectations. Furthermore, just have a look at the photo taken, the pillow towel had holes in it…

Cute little place. A busy restaurant is attached and parking is pretty tight. You have to wait until the parking lot opens up at the end of the night to move your car into it. Otherwise some street parking available. We were on the third floor so had to hit the maze of stairs to get to the top but it wasn't too bad. Sits right in town which is really cute. Eateries are open pretty late if you look around.

Excellent hotel!

Excellent stay, great service, well accommodating our dog, good understanding of gluten free diet requirements, lovely rooms and very clean.

Stayed overnight as we had booked a team meal here Lovely welcome on arrival easy to find and car park onsite for residents Really friendly and helpful staff and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hotel as a place to stay in Windermere

Such a lovely place to rest our head for the evening. Walking distance to the train station where we met our tour guide for the tour of Hilltop (Beatrix Potter’s house). The breakfast was absolutely delish! Staff was so friendly! Our room was spacious and so very clean. Also, our bed was quite comfortable. My daughter and I loved this place.

Room quite small and basic but excellent value. Food great and staff extremely helpful. Delivery/collection at 6am woke us. Maybe this was a one off.

Excellent stay

My stay overnight was great. Parking was fine. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and relaxed. I would stay here again

Parking right outside the front door. Room was adequate, clean with tea coffee amenties. Breakfast was one of the best i have had - cooked fresh to order. Staff polite and helpful.

Can not fault this hotel rooms very comfortable bathroom and all amenities in the room very good apart from the light shade didn’t let much light out but overall really good perfect location for bars and restaurants near by , breakfast was amazing 10/10 hope to return soon
