Windermere Manor Hotel

its an attractive old hotel in lovely gardens and very handy for going into Windermere. I had a nice which looked as if it had modernised recently. Excellent breakfast

The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and helpful. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed an early swim before our breakfast, which was a hot and cold buffet with a great selection. All in all a great overnight stay.

Lovely clean room , warm welcome and friendly staff. Enjoyed the breakfast and having the swimming pool was a real bonus.

Lovely location Friendly staff Food Easy to find and park

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely big room

Relaxing stay in a traditional spacious hotel offering great views of the lake

The staff were really friendly and efficient. The pool was an excellent facility. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but a few observations: In a double room a second chair would have been more comfortable for tv watching The conservatory was rather cold, the piano lounge was not much used and would have made a more comfortable dining area My partner has some mobility issues and the Xmas decoration preventing use of the stair handrail made the stairs somewhat difficult Breakfast would be improved by the addition of tomatoes and mushrooms More coat hooks to avoid putting wet coats in the wardrobe would help We were considerably concerned, indeed frightened, by a fire alarm test with no warning - we had to ask if it was real

Free parking nice location friendly staff nice room dinner and breakfast.

The room was comfortable lively hot shower and the staff were all very helpful courteous and professional

We’ve just returned from a lovely weekend stay. We had one of the annex rooms which was very spacious, comfortable, and peaceful, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was excellent, and the restaurant staff were absolutely fantastic throughout our stay. We also had afternoon tea on our first day, which was one of the best we’ve had, delicious food and brilliant service. The only downsides were a very loud barman on our first night and the receptionist being hard to find when we arrived, but things improved after that. The hotel is in a great location and very dog friendly, which made it ideal for us. Overall, a really enjoyable stay and we’d happily return.

Absolutely gorgeous bedroom. Friendly staff, lovely grounds, easy parking. Two excellent lounges. Overall a lovely place to stay in the lakes.

Lovely hotel with kind staff. Only bad thing was rooms were far to hot and hard to sleep.

Interesting place, a little long in the tooth. Main desk was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was not ready at 7AM. Rooms could use toilet paper holders and washcloths. Room service did not replace my coffee cups or water and did not make my bed or replace used towels. They did empty the trash. I was at the end of a second floor hall and it took FOREVER for the water to warm up enough for a comfortable, but not hot, shower. Bathrooms could use an active fan to cut down on the humidity and the damp. 1st floor chairs and sofas were not very comfortable.

Liked the service and interaction with all staff very helpful. Liked the room the size, quality, and the facilities provided. Did not like the distance from the main hotel to the room which was in the annex heavy rain made the the walk unpleasant. I wrongly thought the annex was adjacent to the hotel. Liked the quality of the breakfast cooked or cold top class, the menu for dinner was very ordinary and and was not very inspiring and left a feeling of could do better.e.g sirloin steaks were cooked as requested but were tough and poor flavour. Liked the swimming pool and facilities top class very clean and a high spot of the holiday.

Excellent apart from one or two minors probably just overlooked no body wash or shower gel in bathroom and mugs didn’t fit in coffee machine. Advised reception who will advise housekeeping room 31

We had a 2 night stay here. Our first time staying at this hotel. We are looking to visit again. Dog friendly. Which is essential for us. Allowed everywhere but swimming pool (understandable) and 1 lounge room. There was a good size run free area for dogs. Which we used. We found the hotel to be nice. Nice comfy areas to sit and chill. A light airy conservatory to eat food in. Bar area with tables to eat at. Food was good. Service was good and polite. Room was clean and tidy. Beds comfortable. There was always parking space. A nice outdoor seating area. We used the pool a couple of times. Towels available and shower area with shampoo and body wash. A basic pool that starts at 1m deep and goes to 1.5m deep. Overall it was a nice place to stay.

Was expecting more for the price I paid.

As I booked on Hotels.com I didn't realise that this hotel is ULTA pet friendly. We stayed in their annex a spacious superior room with a lovely outdoor patio area. When we went in the room there was a strong odour of shake & vac and on the patio there was a full doggy bag left on the edge of the area, plus a full ashtray ! As the strong smell from the shake & vac wore off there was a stinky dog smell in the room. Behind the annex there's a dog walk which was full of poo left everywhere. That night I had an asthma attack and the next morning asked the receptionist if we could move to another room, she was very unhelpful and accusative, she said she would speak to the manager. I know I should have done more research before I booked, but they could have been more understanding. I gave them a few hours and called in the afternoon, the new receptionist didn't know anything about my request but offered to check, no more news from them until we returned later and another receptionist who didn't know anything ! I couldn't stay another night so we decided to leave and go home early. Very unsatisfactory. Unless you are dog people looking for a doggy resort do not book this hotel.

Lovely stay , cottage was very spacious, lovely and clean , great breakfast 😊

The hotel is old & a bit tired in places, but comfortable. Beds are comfy. Our room on the first floor was well ventilated, but the attic rooms are less so. A car is required unless you’re a good walker as it’s 1.5 miles from Bowness.
