A wonderful pub and hotel with the most attentive staff. Everything is done with attention to detail and they’ve managed to combine old charm with modern comfort. The location is great for both walking the hills but also walking into Ambleside when you don’t want something too exhausting. We were planning on going somewhere else for dinner but ended up eating at the hotel every night - because there’s really nothing that makes you want to leave!

This was by far our favourite stay during our winter break. Sadly it was for one night only but it was most definitely 'the full monty'! Great location and stunning views of the lake from most of the tastfully furnished public rooms. The staff are superb, perfect mix of professionalism matched with a warm, genuine personal service. Welcome glass of bubbles and a brief tour of the reception hall and lounge areas was a lovely touch before being shown to our room. There were real fires in most of the lounges which added a lovely, homely feeling. Our Room had everything you could wish for with quality fittings, great amenities and a super comfy bed. Dinner in the main restaurant was enjoyable with friendly, efficient staff. Steak had to be re cooked as came out very undercooked but this was rectified without any issue and service recovery was excellent. Dessert was on the house! Breakfast next morning was also very good although they did run out of some danish pastries and we were not the last guests to be seated.

    The staff make this Inn . Tommy the manager took such good care of us and if we were to go back and stay it would be because of the staff . The bar is cozy and has amazing views in the summer or winter . The restaurant is one of the best we have ever eaten in . They have an amazing chef and a very affordable menu . The continental breakfast was ample and set us up for the day . It was served in the restaurant again with a amazing views . Book in advance for dinner as it’s always busy regardless if it’s midweek or weekend . It’s a great base for walking and a short distance from the lovely Bowness-On-Windermere and Ambleside .

    Windermere town centre is small but has plenty of cafes and restaurants to meet all food lovers types. There are a good selection of shops for gifts etc. and all are within a few hundred yards and not too far from the railway station or buses to travel to other parts of the lakes. It is also a 10 to 15 minute walk to Bowness (downhill) which is also the place to hop on to the lake boats or alternative dining or shopping and the Beatrix Potter experience. My pictures are of the lake side in Bowness

    Fantastic stay as a last minute decision for our family of 5 and the dog. Friendly welcome and freshly cleaned pod on arrival. Spacious enough for us all - even my 6ft4 husband slept well. Pods heated up quickly and held the heat nicely through the night. Toilets and showers were clean and had hooks on the doors for keeping clothes dry etc. We didn’t use the kitchen area but it was clean and spacious. Games room had plenty of seating and a table tennis table but no rackets or ball unfortunately. The campfire area was loved by our children in the evening. Enough parking space and close to lots of local walks and experiences. There were bikes on site that could be hired which would be a great family activity but I’m not sure on the pricing.

    Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food. Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District. Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
