Windermere Manor Hotel

Windermere Manor Hotel is such a beautiful building to look at, and the surrounding gardens are very nice to sit in and read a book. I forst noticed how peaceful the place is, just listening to the sounds of nature. The hotel restaurant is split into 4 sections, a bar area, lounge, conservatory, and chapel, food was very nice, and reasonably priced, and staff very friendly. Hotel is located close to Bowness and Windermere Village, if you like going for walks there's local hiking trails, and Orrest Head view point is 30 mins away by walking. Swimming pool was a bonus, was expecting it to be busy however had the pool all to myself on my first morning. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel grounds were very well kept and the location is around 20 minutes walk from the centre of Bowness on Windermere - few gradients to tackle but a nice walk. The swimming pool was warm and very clean - the hotel provided towels. Breakfast was good - hot - and plentiful - although if you want fried or poached eggs you need to ask (but not after 09:35 as “too late for eggs “ apparently). We did not eat dinner or lunch in the hotel so we can’t comment on the restaurant food quality. We enjoyed our stay and we would return.

What an absolutely lovely place; stunning location with views over the lake, and outside tables and seating to take advantage of this. Wonderful old-world decor (wood panelling etc) gives a fabulous and cosy ambience. We played giant chess in the garden, swam in the pool, explored the grounds and had a lovely supper outside on a warm evening. We had a family room and a standard double for our family of 5 and all were extremely comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We stayed only one night en route to Scotland and will definitely be back.

Im a very light sleeper and needed a room without any disturbance, Pauline helped me out and booked me in at the Annexe at the back of the hotel, and I had peasant quiet all night,I slept like a log, can't thank you enough Pauline, ill be staying in thay room again. Breakfast was really good as well, poached eggs on request and lots of everything else, it's a buffet style breakfast so you can just go back and get more, it really sets you up for the day. The room was warm, bed was comfy, broadband was fast, lovely bath if you want to relax after a long day's work or walk, can't fault this place at all, I will definitely stay again.

The hotel was lovely, set in a lovely grounds not far from the Lake. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was a good size for a family. The food in the restaurant was really nice and good value for money. The pool was also a nice bonus and a nice clean area.
