"Very comfortable garden room and amazing staff particularly Charlie who came out to our car greeting us on arrival,carrying in our luggage and telling us the history of the building.First class."

"Booked as a short stay for our wedding anniversary. I've seen this property many times as we've walked between Windermere and Bowness and been intrigued by the waterball outside. Didn't actually realise it was this hotel when I booked. We stayed in a lovely suite with an outside hot tub, a steam room,small sitting area and jacuzzi bath, as well as separate shower room. When we arrived the room wasn't quite ready, which we expected, as we were a little early. We left our car parked at the property and walked into Bowness for the afternoon. It's about a 10 minute walk. When we returned , we were thrilled with our room and the lovely touch of an anniversary card. We'd asked for restaurant recommendations for our anniversary meal. The breakfast was hearty. There's no buffet but a menu, which provides plenty of choice. We had cereal with fruit compote,full English with mixed toast , juice, and coffee but there's all sorts to choose from so I'm sure almost anyone could find something to suit. The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I'm not one for overly fussy staff but that's just me. The hotel is an easy walk either way into Bowness or to Windermere Village and is right opposite a bus stop we've used before to travel further. Theres not really anything negative I could say about the place tbh. If I was being picky I'd say the water pressure in the shower wasn't great but that's about it. I'd definitely return for another special o"

"If you’re looking for a relaxing, peaceful getaway, we highly recommend booking The Retreat. From the moment we arrived, the friendly and helpful staff made us feel welcome. Our spacious room was equipped with great amenities, and we especially loved the spa bath with air bubbles the perfect way to unwind before bed. In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with plenty of options, served on our private patio, before taking a short walk into Windermere. Everything about our stay was just wonderful. "
