What guests think
At Merewood Country House Hotel, travelers consistently praise the warm, friendly service, elegant period setting and gardens, scenic lake views, and relaxed bar, lounge, and library spaces, along with a welcoming dog friendly approach.
Rooms are frequently described as comfortable, but size and layout vary and some decor feels dated, with occasional noise reported. Dining feedback is mixed: several meals impress, but others encountered restaurant closures or a limited grill menu, slow or absent service, wrong orders, and poor dishes. A few reviews cite housekeeping gaps and maintenance or cleanliness issues, plus occasional delays or lack of follow through at reception or the bar. Expect a scenic, characterful stay with warm hospitality, but check dining plans and room specifics.

Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !!

Small hotel in the heart of the Lake District , the rooms at the front have a wonderful view of lake Windermere absolutely stunning . The hotel is clean and well run , nothing was too much trouble. A comfortable well stocked bar, sitting room & library with nice big comfy armchairs overlooking the lake The breakfast was delicious there was a very varied menu to choose from and also full range of cereals fruit and pastries . . 4 different juices Tea & Coffee . We opted for the full English which was delicious with plenty of toast. . All served by cheerful helpful staff in the lovely grill room that can also be privately hired for small weddings. The bacon and sausage were locally sourced and were lovely and a choice of eggs mushrooms tomatoes black pudding and beans . The room was clean and well laid out but some of the furniture has seen better days and could do with being updated . Bathroom again was clean with lovely big fluffy towels and nice toiletries were provided ,but there were a couple of broken tiles. . The over bath shower was not very powerful and the shower head was a bit floppy. Overall a lovely hotel and really good value for money in this part of the Lake District. I would definitely stay here again

Pound for Pound this is the best hotel I have stayed in the Lake District. It was excellent value for money. The setting is beautiful with lovely views of Lake Windermere. It is very dog friendly whilst still maintaining a dog free restaurant. We were able to enjoy a fabulous meal on a table set up for us in an almost private area. All staff were friendly and nothing seemed to much trouble for anyone. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely stay again next time we are in the Lakes.

The staff were really attentive, without being too much. A little time in getting drinks, but to be honest this just made us relax into the chilled atmosphere more. The location was superb and we went for a dog walk straight from the hotel. Great historic old, hotel to be able to take a dog to. Can loose yourself in the view over Windermere

We came for a one night stay, two adults, one year old and a dog (one of the only places locally which allowed dogs!). The hotel looks beautiful as you drive up the winding driveway. We were warmly greeted by the receptionist and who checked us in smoothly. We had booked a four poster bed room as it had more space. I had emailed ahead to ask for a travel cot which the hotel happily provided at no extra cost. On first look the room was lovely, however the decor was slightly dated. Sadly in the bathroom too the wallpaper was peeling from the walls. The hotel did however provide a little welcome kit for the dog too, which we thought was a lovely touch. The bed was comfy and plenty of pillows provided. The room was well equipped with tea and coffee etc, also nice additions of bottled water, boiled sweets and a coffee machine. We were on a bead and breakfast rate. We wish we had taken the hotel up on the offer of a separate room for dining where we could take the dog (ours was not best impressed being left in the room!). The food was tasty with lots of options to suit all. Checkout was easy and is somewhere we would consider coming back to.

While booking we selected a room (215 sqft) which can fit a couch(sofa bed) the room was barely large enough to open a suitcase anywhere but the bed. The hairdryer had pre-Covid dust, which we have to clean as nobody bothered responding ( contacted reception after 7am, which is within the operating hours). Had to fix the shower which just needed tightening up a valve, but again no one in the property seems to care. I would go ahead and say that I want a complete refund.

Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite.

Location was good Property itself , very dated and the porch and reception floor was filthy and the lounge areas dirty .Nobody to receive guests, have to summon by buzzer and wait.Booked a double room for two pf us it was so small that it had one chair squeezed in , no room in the bathroom to put the toiletries etc. Asked if possible to have a bigger room. Told somebody would check. Nobody got back. The water in the shower was always cold to lukewarm ,no matter what setting. Eating in was not attractive as limited menu. The staff at breakfast were friendly , reception staff never greeted or made conversation. Booked it as it was 4 star , was not what I accepted .Will not be returning.

The Tennyson Room (Room 5) was beautiful. The view was stunning, there were no irritations (wonky toilet seats, blown light bulbs, badly scratched paintwork etc.) at all. The receptionist was a great guy - good for a laugh and engaging. Breakfast excellent. Believe me - we are coming back it was superb. I have no connections with this place at all. It was so much better than the top of the range place we stayed at in Anglesey 2 weeks ago and cost £70 less. Thank you.

Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and style great location overlooking the lake. Room was smelly with what I would say was Cat urine smell. Toilet had skid marks in bottom. We booked into the rest so but as there was a small wedding on menu was a pub grill not what we wanted but food (fish n chips) was lovely. We had a room on the top floor facing the back so it was not what we had in mind.

I had emailed ahead to ask for a travel cot which the hotel happily provided at no extra cost. On first look the room was lovely, however the decor was slightly dated. Sadly in the bathroom too the wallpaper was peeling from the walls. The hotel did however provide a little welcome kit for the dog too, which we thought was a lovely touch. The bed was comfy and plenty of pillows provided. The room was well equipped with tea and coffee etc, also nice additions of bottled water, boiled sweets and a coffee machine. We were on a bead and breakfast rate. We wish we had taken the hotel up on the offer of a separate room for dining where we could take the dog (ours was not best impressed being left in the room!). The food was tasty with lots of options to suit all. Checkout was easy and is somewhere we would consider coming back to.

A delightful Inn overlooking the lake. We were assigned a lake view room which was very comfortable (#3, Brontë). The staff was helpful and friendly. They were also attending to a small wedding, but we felt valued and welcome.

Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite.

I only stopped for 1 night, Saturday 10th June, the staff were very helpful but had to ring the desk bell a number of times to get there attention, waited in excess of 15 minutes. Since I couldn't get into my room till 3pm, which is the norm, I asked if I could leave my luggage and asked if someone would take my luggage to my room since I had to leave the hotel at 1pm for a wedding reception at another nearby venue. I was a bit disappointed when I arrived back at the hotel, around 11pm, to find my luggage was still left next to the reception desk and had not been taken to my room as I asked and I was assured would happen. Overall my experience was good and yes, I would stay at the Merewood Country House again.

Location was good Property itself , very dated and the porch and reception floor was filthy and the lounge areas dirty .Nobody to receive guests, have to summon by buzzer and wait.Booked a double room for two pf us it was so small that it had one chair squeezed in , no room in the bathroom to put the toiletries etc. Asked if possible to have a bigger room. Told somebody would check. Nobody got back. The water in the shower was always cold to lukewarm ,no matter what setting. Eating in was not attractive as limited menu. The staff at breakfast were friendly , reception staff never greeted or made conversation. Booked it as it was 4 star , was not what I accepted .Will not be returning.

Absolutely wonderful staff, front of house host was lovely and very welcoming. Beautiful cosy atmosphere in the three social areas we visited (bar,lounge and library). Lovely hotel overall, will need to try the restaurant next time as we arrived later in the evening. Very welcoming to our dogs which was much appreciated! Lovely rooms. Will definitely return!

Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !!

A beautiful period property in an isolated area but not inconvenient place to drive into . It gives you an exclusive feelings with two lounges with relaxing music . Our twin room was pretty and had a comfortable neutral colour scheme . We ordered a room service and the snacks we had were excellent . The room is a bit small and sound proof is not great. But it was a fantastic place to stay regardless .

The location was superb and we went for a dog walk straight from the hotel. Great historic old, hotel to be able to take a dog to. Can loose yourself in the view over Windermere

The Tennyson Room (Room 5) was beautiful. The view was stunning, there were no irritations (wonky toilet seats, blown light bulbs, badly scratched paintwork etc.) at all. The receptionist was a great guy - good for a laugh and engaging. Breakfast excellent. Believe me - we are coming back it was superb. I have no connections with this place at all. It was so much better than the top of the range place we stayed at in Anglesey 2 weeks ago and cost £70 less. Thank you.

Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and style great location overlooking the lake. Room was smelly with what I would say was Cat urine smell. Toilet had skid marks in bottom. We booked into the rest so but as there was a small wedding on menu was a pub grill not what we wanted but food (fish n chips) was lovely. We had a room on the top floor facing the back so it was not what we had in mind.

We booked this hotel for our wedding anniversary and as we love fine dining this hotel seemed a great choice as it has a restaurant with 2 AA rosettes. We received an email confirmation of our booking for the one night with the email saying we had a table booked in the fine dining restaurant at 7pm the Arboreal. When we arrived we were told we would now be dining in the grill bar as the Arboreal restaurant was closed on Sunday. The menu in the grill bar was awful and so was our food. We were very disappointed as this marred a special evening .

The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. Very peaceful location with added bonus of views of lake Windermere and mountains.
