Top Bowness-on-Windermere Hotel Reviews

The Angel Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"The Angel Inn was lovely and the staff couldn't have been nicer. There were some free things when using their app which were welcome. The inclusive breakfast was great and the location in Windermere was excellent allowing us to walk around the town and to the shore of the lake for boat trips. The rooms were very small even for one person so I think 2 might be challenging and the parking is not sufficient for all guests so it was hit or miss whether you got a space. Highly recommended though."

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location & views from the hotel, short walk from the Lakes. Specious room. Food menu is good. Nice staff. We hired eBikes, Oliver was really helpful. Reception was quick easy check-in. Can't fault anything about the stay."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was perfect location for getting to the lake and getting round the local bars/restaurants and shops. The view from the terrace was stunning and the hotel had lovely architecture. The room was ideal and lake view was gorgeous. Spiderwebs and bugs in the high ceilings were the only thing that let it down (we were staying in room 72). Breakfast had good options and majority of it was lovely. Only comment was the black pudding didn’t seem like it was cooked properly. We ate in the restaurant one night and couldn’t complain at all. I had the fish and chips and was one of the best I had. My partner had the mushroom risotto which was also lovely. But would definitely recommend and stay again"

Linthwaite House

10/10 Excellent

"A superb hotel. Wonderful location with a fabulous terrace with views across Windermere. Great staff, lovely room and food was amazing. Perfect overnight trip"

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location - right by the lake. Lovely breakfast. All the staff were very helpful- especially Sandra who was excellent. Thank you for a lovely stay! Would certainly recommend this hotel."

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in great location."

Storrs Gate House

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely break away, breakfast good."

Oakfold House

10/10 Excellent

"Robyn and Chris were wonderful hosts. After booking we sent an email explaining we are elderly travelers and if possible would appreciate a ground floor room to avoid stairs. They responded promptly saying they would ensure we had a ground floor room. Our room and the commons area were spotless. The breakfasts were delicious and filling. And we rode a ferry to Ambleside then took the 599 bus back to Bowness and one of its stops was on the corner by Oakfold House. So convenient! Ten thumbs up."

The Ryebeck Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Sorry to complain but I think there should be a handrail on the outside steps leading down to the patio and I would have liked a small drinks fridge in the room , apart from these I have no more complaints G & P Edwards"
