"Comfy and clean room, food was amazing and staff really friendly "

"Overall very comfortable stay. At check in, the layout of rooms could have been explained. It took us two days to work out the quickest and easiest way to our room. Breakfast was a first class buffet. Everything seemed to be cooked well, i.e. fried egg yokes were still runny, bacon was not over cooked as is often the case, tomatoes were still solid, not overcooked. Unfortunately the fire alarm went off three times during our stay. All false alarms, one at 06.00 in the morning. There really...

"We had a really lovely three nights at The Swan. The staff were great, the food tremendous and we had a cracking room with with a view out to the hills. Highly recommended, we will return! Thank you "

"Had a grand time at The Waterhead in the week before Easter. Hotel was very comfortable, and our dog was made to feel welcome. It was a good base to explore the Windermere area."

"Great place to stay and we would happily rebook next time we are in the area. The staff were lovely, and the food ( breakfast and dinner was good ) "

"Wonderful pub atmosphere. Great staff. "

"Brathay Lodge makes for a very comfortable and convenient stay in the Lake District. The room was modern and well-maintained and the staff friendly and considerate. There is a parking fee (unless booked direct) but you’d have to pay elsewhere anyway. If you have an electric car it’s a good idea to let them know in advance so you can use their reasonably-priced ProjectEV charger. The continental breakfast was fresh and varied and set us up for the day. Would definitely stay there again. "

"Location is great. Staff are very helpful, breakfast is excellent and lots of choice. We had a superior room at the Windermere Rooms. I expected a better view/facilities for the cost, rooms were very warm but could be easily fixed by turning the radiators down. Floor in the bedroom was slightly uneven which didn’t affect the stay but something I didn’t expect for the price of the room. I would definitely stay again but probably wouldn’t pay for a superior room."
