Glencree Lakes - Windermere

I chose this hotel because I wanted to be in a more remote countryside location. This place did not dissapoint. We had a beautiful view from our room and the breakfast room. It was also not too far away from some small towns for food and activities. The room was comfortable and clean though the bed was a little too soft for us. With the exception of that, everything else was wonderful. The breakfast was also very good and they had options. Something I was very apreciative for as the full English breakfast is a bit heavy for me in the morning. Owners were very nice and helpful with great suggestions for food and driving directions. Would recomend this location to others and we plan to stay here again.

Very nice stay and would stay again.

As an American, I first have to get past the sticker shock of traveling anywhere in the U.K. This is really true in popular areas like the English Lake Country. This hotel was a good location for us — good service, food, parking and easy accessibility. But like many U.K. accommodations the rooms are small, 1950's furniture with inadequate room plugs, and no in-room wifi. We'd return, but only because other affordable choices are limited. It's clearly an upscale B&B area.

Host was very knowledgeable and most helpful.

We liked the room; very spacious with a great bathroom. Just barely out of comfortable walking distance to the pier & village w/ our two young children. The staff was properly polite, but we felt out of place having our kids with us. We didn't know about the evening dinner dress code until after we arrived. Judging by some of the guests waiting, we felt unwelcome & went out for dinner. Breakfast was good, but we had to wait quite a while before our order was taken. There should have been more than one person able to take an order when guests arrive close to each other. I think it's perfect for travelling with friends or as a couple.
