Terrible hotel, very dirty and mold detected. Please avoid!! There many other better hotels in the area this was the worst. We even left to go home a night earlier as we couldnt even stand to sleep another night, rather cut our holiday short. The staff were too busy serving drinks to check us in and out. They offered no alternatives or a solution. The towels were stained badly and smelt terrible. Probably the worst experience ever had with a hotel. AVOID!!!

The location of this accommodation is absolutely fabulous and is undoubtedly its biggest selling point. Being so close to the lake and within easy reach of the surrounding attractions made it the perfect base. The breakfast was also excellent; fresh, high quality, and delicious, with plenty of choice for cooked english breakfast lovers and a great start to the day. The Windermere Rooms themselves were adequate and comfortable enough for a short stay, but they simply didn't justify the price charged. While they met our basic needs, they lacked the quality and attention to detail you would expect at this price point. The courtyard entrance to the rooms is particularly disappointing. It feels gloomy, neglected, and is in need of some attention to make it more welcoming. The outdoor seating area was also unusable during our stay because the metal chairs had no cushions, making them impossible to sit on. On a much more positive note, the beer garden at the Wateredge Inn, just across the road, is exceptional. It offers a wonderful setting to relax with a drink and enjoy the views, and it is always one of the highlights of our visit.
