Windermere Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, well maintained"

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Generally The Belsfield was excellent. There are only two items which were sightly disappointing. The wifi connection dropped out everyday and really struggled to re-connect unitl hours later. The in room safe was locked upon arrival and was never unlocked throughout our stay despit eit being reported."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean as always, stayed here a few times now. This time in the main hotel as we had our dog with us so had a pet friendly room and it was lovely. My only issues around the hotel are the lack of air con in the room and in the W restaurant. I realise this current weather isn’t the norm, but a fan isn’t the greatest. The staff are always fab, and otherwise it was a nice stay. Room was spacious which helped when having our pet Will possibly stay again in future"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovey view from room 53 balcony despite on-going building works. Spacious and relaxing room, although I don’t know what the purpose of so many cushions on the bed are. Breakfast had a great choice and my cooked selection was excellent. Helpful and friendly staff. Had to wait now and then at busy times."

Holly Lodge Guest House

8/10 Good

"This was a nice place to stay for a few nights, and quiet apart from the neighbour’s yappy dog and in a great central location for Windermere. Helpful staff, breakfast was good - perhaps could do with slightly bigger portion sizes though. The shower was tiny. Only comfortable if you are child-sized. This was my only bugbear as I am a 6ft fat bloke. Car parking plentiful. But be aware if you have an SUV you might struggle to get round the back because of the poor parking of others making it difficult to get by. Nice outside area, but seems more for smokers/vapers - the ashtray gave this away. In all, satisfied."
