Lovely accommodation. Room was in the adjacent annex right next door to the Angel. Parking spots available at Angel and the accommodation. Excellent spot in Bowness for shops, eateries etc

Parking is horrific - they have maybe 8 spots in front of the property and they do not designate them for guests. We had to park in the neighboring town which was about a 30min walk. The property itself was very charming and very nice, just like the photos. The food was decent. We would not stay here again because of the parking situation.

Our stay at The Angel Inn was very pleasant. The hotel was clean and had wonderful views. The grounds are lovely. There is a nice pub downstairs with really nice food. We had a room at the front of the hotel which afforded a great view of Windermere but was a bit loud as it was above the beer garden, and we kept the window open for comfort. Overall, this was a really nice play to stay with pleasant staff.

Our stay in Bowness On Windermere was a last minute decision. We were very lucky to find this Inn. The family room was very comfortable & clean. Bathroom was nice, having a bathtub & separate large shower unit. Beautiful views of the surrounding village and a peek of Lake Windermere too. Breakfast was lovely. A good breakfast selection with full English option, well cooked. A friendly staff experience made our visit memorable for the right reasons. Will definately stay there again on our next vsiit to the lakes.

Room cleanliness was poor. Mattress was like a pancake and the pillow was like a brick. The walls are paper thin as we could hear the other guests chatting. Didn’t feel safe as the back door was wedged open. Didn’t feel welcome from the staff. Very poor value for price paid.

Overpriced tiny room, dirty sheets. Room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly. Everything was an extra charge like moving to a bigger room (ours was a shoe box at about £150 for a night!). We spent a lot of time chosing hotel and there were lots of better alternatives that we will pick next time. At least they agreed to give us a slightly later check out (beyond the measly 10:30!) for which we we’re grateful. Nevertheless we won’t be back sorry!

The room was older but clean and it worked for us. The property is convenient to Windermere and the Lake District. I didn't research the area enough and booked a stay on a weekend in Sept. The town was packed and overcrowded. I'm not blaming the property, just consider the timing of your visit.

Lovely welcome from the staff who were very informative about everything from parking to meals to how to contact them. Parking is very limited however public parking is available nearby. Room was comfortable and warm. Had all the things needed (tea, coffee, basic toiletries, towels etc). Having a safe in the room was a nice touch. The only little things are there is no mirror next to the table to do hair / make up as it’s across the room and the toilet door constantly hits the bathroom door. Shower good quality, nice bedding. Slight issue on the last night with other guests but the staff were really apologetic the next morning when this was brought to their attention (hoping to receive an email about it though once it is mentioned to management). Overall very nice and in a good location.

Unfortunately we had a room that is a separate building from the pub room 16. I say unfortunate because this room is on the ground floor and the room above us had a family with children and from 7am we could hear these children running around non stop. I spoke to staff and recommended next time they organise so that a family with children is placed on the ground floor to curb some of the noise from the bouncing and running around as the floorboards sounded like they were going to collapse. Obviously this made our stay uncomfortable especially seeing as we paid £450 for 2 nights Also on the first night our window came down on its own and has no way of securing properly obviously we wondered why the room was so cold during the night in the morning we found the answer to that out. It’s also a security risk

Staff at the Angel Inn were fantastic, warm welcome for us both and the dog. Could not fault the staff. Our room 32 for the 3 of us was a little small. Not the size of room we expected for what we paid per night. The room itself was clean well decorated. Lacked storage space that was closed so we could put things away. We would stay here again in a bigger room . The staff both in the Angel inn and housekeeping were just perfect.

The first time I've ever left mid stay. Stayed in room 25 and it was the noisiest room I've ever stayed. No sound proofing, right next to main door which is slamming all night long when people leave and enter. You can here everything from nearby rooms, in particular the room upstairs which stayed awake talking and TV blasting until 0130hrs. Then an alarm right outside my room staring going off at 0430hrs and was still going off when I left at 0800. So no sleep whatsoever. The big chap at breakfast was rude, inattentive and more preferred to talk to his colleague about the local fights and arguments rather than offering any sort of customer service. Breakfast was extremely poor. Such a shame I had to to cut my visit to Windermere short because accommodation and service was so bad.
