Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Probably the best hotel in Windermere

I shouldn’t say to much because the Hillthwaite might put up their prices! Excellent, comes to mind, ten out of ten in all departments, but the big standout was high quality of the staff, I highly recommend this hotel.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s the 1st time we have used the hotel. I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The room was lovely and comfy and very clean. I don’t have a bad word to say about the hotel. We will definitely come back the weekend.

I stayed for a couple of nights here and I'd definitely stay again. Staff were friendly, room was clean, lovely views, plenty of variety for breakfast and situated ideally between Bowness and Windermere.

Lovely stay. Great food and friendly staff. All in all I’d definitely visit again.
Sanjeev, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was nice although the pool was cold and the steam room wasn't working. My room was ground floor and as a solo female traveller, I would've preferred a room on 1st floor or above but it was clean and an ok size for one person. Food was great, very good selection for breakfast and all cooked fresh. Good, walkable distance from town with good public transport links to other areas.

Could not find any fault with this hotel. Extremely efficient and friendly, from reception to restaurant staff. Facilities are excellent and our accommodation was immaculate. Fantastic evening and breakfast menu’s.
R, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

overall very good

the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming when we arrived. Although at the top of a steep hill and hotel has no lift bear that in mind for those who have any walking difficulties. Food was good but a tad too expensive ie £9 for a plate of soup! bed was very comfortable and warm, good sound proofing with adequate clothes space for a few days.
