What guests think

At Kotel Windermere, reviewers consistently praise the clean, modern rooms and convenient, walkable location between Windermere and Bowness, along with pleasant gardens and smooth self check-in for most, making it good value overall.

Common downsides are very warm rooms and lack of air conditioning, occasional small or cramped layouts, and some uncomfortable sofa beds or zip-linked doubles. Service is mostly responsive via codes and messages, but the absence of a front desk can make resolving issues or accessibility needs difficult. Overall, expect a modern, self-service stay that suits independent travellers.

We just returned from our first staycation of the year, celebrating our engagement in the scenic Lake District. The Kotel Apartments in Bowness were absolutely stunning, from the stylish decor and interior design to the enchanting gardens. The car park had a couple of EV charging points that were always available and easy to use. We had verified with the hotel beforehand that the apartment was wheelchair accessible, and it was confirmed. There was a stunning wet room and ample space to move around the apartment. The only challenge was the entry points, which we were not informed of prior to our arrival. Despite the age and listed features of the building, I was prepared to bum shuffle over a couple of steps and overlook the barrier. Ramp access to the private gardens was available at the back, but there were still a couple of steps from the apartment itself. Although I was able to negotiate them, I recognise that not everyone could. To make it accessible for all, I think portable ramps would be ideal!

Extremely helpful staff and well equipped room. Only negative was the electric car charging point needed a cable. Perhaps this could be mentioned on the website/booking process. It wasn't a major issue for me as I had enough charge to find somewhere else but could be a problem for others, so not a complaint just a bit of feedback

Myself and my wife had a 2 night stay in a Studio room. The Room was modern and clean with a nice comfy king size bed and the overall building is lovely but When booking we had the impression that a kitchenette would have cooking Hobs but it only had a Microwave, Toaster, kettle, which was a big disappointment as my wife is Celiac and I would have liked to cook a nice breakfast for myself and wife as it is difficult for her eating out. This is the reason we book apartment hotels. I think that the studio room Was over priced for what we received. I did speak to the nice young lady there and did tell her that I was going to say this in my review so it will not be a Surprise. On a final note, we did enjoy our stay but with a little let down.

Very nice room in an impressive building. Ample car parking onsite and free on street parking nearby. Comfortable bed and nice view overlooking garden. Towel radiator was very hot and took a bit of effort to turn off as the en-suite was boiling! Full fridge provided along with a microwave and toaster, however if you eat or drink in your room there's only 1 chair. Ideal accommodation for a one or two night stay.

I stayed in Kotel Windermere for a night with my family. The hotel is clean and design is modern just like as in the picture. Check in was easy as the password for the room was sent on the day of arrival. I booked a family room for 4 with a double sofa bed. It was a little cramped for a family of 4 as the sofa bed was put at the end of the double bed. We were happy with the condition except that we found a dead bee underneath the blanket but it was already at night and there was no reception desk. As such, we couldn’t make any complain. On the whole, it was an enjoyable stay except for the dead bee.

Rented the superior studio, it was first class. Super-clean throughout, very spacious room with uber-comfortable king size bed. Tv included a Bose soundbar which was a great addition. Kitchenette was perfect for our needs - just enough for what we needed. Location is great - very quiet around the hotel but less than 10 mins walk into the centre of Windermere town. Would definitely recommend.

My room was one of the tiny ones which was expected, room was clean as was shower & toilet. Bed was a single but comfy, slept like a baby although the 14 miles walked helped! Nice pub next door with quiz on Thursdays! Overall good value, and help only a phone call away. Good location on a quiet road midway between Windermere and Bowness
