The breakfast was wonderful. Many options available and delicious. Our room was clean and comfortable. And the train/bus station was a four minute walk.

Nice exterior, with parking for residents. Rushed ‘check in’ at the bar meant I was charged in full despite already paying a deposit. Thanks to Iain for organising the refund. Hall and stairs to rooms looked unclean. Handrails were sticky to touch, repairs to walls were dreadful. Stair carpet needs cleaned. Room 10 was comfortable and was a good size. Bed was clean and comfortable. Towels were clean and fresh. However the bathroom was well below standard, the flooring was wrinkled in various areas of the bathroom and definitely a trip hazard. The shower was just about functioning and alternating between hot and cold water with very little pressure. Other than the window ledge there was nowhere to keep toiletries and the blind had to be kept down at all times as we were overlooked. Disappointing considering the £180 a night premium room charge. Breakfast was enjoyable. Good varied menu. Staff were generally pleasant. Didn’t see any staff at check out as they were busy with breakfast meaning we just left our room key on the bar. Overall this was an ok stay but it could have been a lot better. Disappointing sadly.

Pet friendly hotel with free parking but limited spaces. The room was basic, the room we stayed in had a street light outside, which the blind didn't do much to keep that out all night. The bed was very firm which wasn't our preference may suit others. The shower was low pressure and took a while to get to temperature. If you just want a bed for the night it's serviceable but wouldn't personally stay more than one night.

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
