My sister and I spent just a couple of nights here and truly fell in love with the house and staff. Every interaction was easy and kind, the house was incredibly well kept, and the grounds were gorgeous. It's located a bit out of the way which is perfect for minimizing crowds and noise! Our room was perfectly sized and the bed/bedding comfortable. All in all, a 10/10. Highly recommend to anyone in any stage of life.

Very pretty country location. The rooms including common rooms were all lovely. The tiny bathrooms were cramped and windowless and let the property down. Breakfasts were lovely, with lots of choice. We didn’t have dinner there, as prices were over the top, compared with what we were paying in other locations on our trip around the UK.

Perfect stay in proper "home from home" hotel

This is a beautiful small hotel in a fabulous location. But the staff and attention to making your stay amazing is what makes the hotel so special. The breakfasts are feasts - cooked to order with excellent choices and with lots of fruit, yoghurt and cereal as well. Our room was extremely comfortable with a superb view. Not a sound to be heard at night. We have stayed in many hotels over the years in the Lake District and have now found the one we will return to. I'd also like to come back in the winter and enjoy the wood fires, reading in the gorgeous sitting room, looking out at the view.

Host accused me of under paying

My teenage son and myself spent two nights at the Ees Wyke Hotel. The room (peach) was small but clean and comfortable and suited our needs. The public rooms were not really to our taste - floral sofas and outdated decor, however the views of the lake are stunning. Breakfast was ok - freshly cooked was excellent, but the buffet limited volume, and some items which ran out were not replenished. However, our trip was completely ruined by a confrontation by the manager as we were finishing breakfast on the 2nd day. He accused me of not paying enough for our room - I booked through Hotels.com the full price quoted, and in good faith for 2 adults bed and breakfast. I felt quite quite intimidated, as a woman travelling alone with my son, however stood my ground - I certainly was not paying him any extra! For this reason I would never return.

A delightful stay

The inside of this country home was just delightful. Loved our stay - the staff, the food, the beautiful views. Lots of thought has gone into guest conveniences and extra touches that made our stay great. The bedrooms are not big but there are a couple of lounges and a good drinks selection that we enjoyed. I would return anytime!

Idyllic Spot

Couple stayed for 2 nights, highly professional, extremely friendly and accommodating team, facilities kept in good order, breakfast appropriately award winning will definitely take advantage of dinner service on our next stay. Hotel situated on quiet west side of Windermere overlooking a beautiful unspoilt private water. Team is first class for professionalism, competence and sense of humour.

From the time of arriving to leaving, this hotel delivered 5 star service. The beautiful decor, the cosy lounges with the log fires, enjoying tea and scones in the afternoon and a bottle of wine in the evening. All the staff were amazing … so welcoming and friendly. Really glad we booked dinner . It was perfect , definitely 5 star….. and then the fabulous breakfast in the morning. A wonderful gem of a place to stay… such a peaceful and tranquil setting with amazing views . Will definitely return and will recommend to all friends!

If you like a country house hotel, this is for you. Lovely rooms, wonderful views. Chef/Patron Richard looks to cook great food without pretension. Hence the regular awards for good food in the dining room. The staff were excellent without exception. Wonderful views acrossLake Etterthwaite with ospreys nesting on opposite bank. Visit the cafe across the lake from the hotel to see the chicks on the live camera feed. Only 2 miles from the Hawkshead side of the Windermere ferry. However if coming from the Coniston end stay on the B5285 and ignore the sat nAv if you want to avoid some narrow roads.

The breakfast was fabulous and the availability of an evening meal was really good. The bed was very comfortable; lovely sheets and bedding. Some remedial work is required in the bathroom it is looking tired. Wi-fi did not work in the room, which meant the extra channels on the TV were not available- so disappointing. The phone signal was poor so wi- fi would have been really useful. A very relaxing stay.

景色のキレイな可愛らしいホテル

湖の見える景色の素敵な可愛らしいホテルです。シェフの格好をしたオーナーさんらしき方が素敵な笑顔で出迎えてくれたのが印象的でした。 部屋は３階の最上階のお部屋で、屋根裏部屋のような女性なら誰もが嬉しくなるお部屋でした。３階には２部屋しかないので落ち着けます。少し壁が薄いようで隣の方の声が聞こえましたが、こちらの存在に気づくと静かにしていただいたので良かったです。前日に泊まった別のウィンダミアのホテルも壁が薄かったので、イギリスの少し昔の建物はきっと同じようです。 お部屋はアンティークの家具がゆったり配置してあって広さも十分でとても落ち着けます。Wifiもありましたが、部屋の中では繋がりにくいようでした。SIMも部屋の中は電波が悪いようでした。1Fや外では大丈夫でした。 バスルームが部屋の外に一度でて、隣にバスルームがあってそこへ入る感じです。夜など気を使うので少し不便を感じましたが、バスタブは寝れるくらいに大きくとても寛げました。日本のバスタブもこのくらいになってほしいです。アメニティはペンハリガンで嬉しかったです。バスローブもお部屋にありました。 食事は朝食のみにしました。５種類くらいのメニューから選べるようになっていて、私はお魚のメニューにしました。優しい味付けでとてもおいしかったです。他にもシリアルやヨーグルトなど自由に食べられるようになっていました。夕食は事前予約制なので時間のある方はお勧めします。きっと美味しいと思います。お水も美味しい地域だそうです。 立地は丘の上の景色のとても良い場所です。ヒルトップまで歩いて5分で行けました。ホテルに着いた時は遅い時間だったのですが、翌朝、朝一でヒルトップに行くことができ良かったです。ヒルトップは入場が時間制になっているようでしたので朝一に行けたのは良かったかもしれません。平日の朝でも訪れている人が結構いました。また交通の便は良くありません。私は行きも帰りもウィンダミアからタクシーを利用しました。バスや船を乗り継いでも行けますが利用できる時間に限りがあるので事前に調べておくことオススメします。ただ荷物などありますしタクシーが一番良いのではと思います。ウィンダミアから３０〜３５ポンドくらいだったと思います。またタクシーは電話で呼ぶ必要があるので私はホテルの方に前日予約の手配をしていただきました。ウィンダミアの駅には数台いると思いますが、他の場所ではあまりいないそうです。 それだけ自然の豊かな地域ですので、せっかく行かれる方はぜひゆっくりできる時間を作ってのんびりされることをオススメします。私も次回は２泊くらいしてホテルステイをゆっくり楽しみたいです。
