Terrible attitude from barman when I returned a cloudy pint of beer, he poured me an alternative and tried to charge me for it! When the manager arrived to sort it out he told the barman to give me the exchanged beer, upon which he handed it over and said enjoy your FREE PINT. I was surprised when the manager just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. This is not the sort of behaviour I expect from such a beautiful hotel, I was very disappointed

A perfect Windermere Retreat

Our recent two-night stay at the Lakeside Hotel & Spa proved to be the perfect retreat. Situated right on the shores of the stunning Lake Windermere, the location is simply breathtaking. What truly sets this hotel apart is its unique access to both the steam train and boats, offering convenient and scenic journeys to Bowness or a leisurely tour around the lake itself. Our dining experience on the first night was a pleasure. The food was well-cooked, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast each morning offered a plentiful selection, ensuring a great start to the day. Beyond the beautiful setting and delicious food, the hotel boasts excellent facilities. The games room, swimming pool, gym, and spa provide ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Overall, the Lakeside Hotel & Spa offers a truly memorable experience. The combination of its prime location, convenient transport links, friendly service, and excellent amenities makes it a destination I would wholeheartedly recommend and definitely plan to return to.

Nice hotel in great position. Staff and service very good. Excellent pool and spa facilities. We had a problem with a hot radiator in our room which we couldn’t turn off and a leaking toilet cistern. Eventually sorted the next day when the maintenance staff available. Breakfast very good but was very disappointed with our evening diner. We had the cod which was very over salted. Fried custard for pudding, out of interest, which we didn’t enjoy. The fried breadcrumb coating tasted savory as if it had been fried in the same fat as savory dishes. Waitress who asked us if we had liked it was quite dismissive and not interested to hear our opinion as it wasn’t positive.
