"We were a family staying with our dog for a Lake District break. This home is really well located for the shops and cafes in the centre of Windermere which are a 1 minute easy walk away. We could also walk down to the Lake on nice walks in 15/20 mins and walking into Bowness which was about 1 mile. The property is spread over 3 floors and 3 shower rooms/toilets was a great bonus.

"Cleanliness was great! Garden is big but not very well maintained. It would had been good if there were some toiletries (no handwash, no shampoo or soap anywhere - had plenty of towels and napkins) which I feel is basic necessity and not everyone would carry it unless aware of not having it in the house and there is nowhere you can buy it from nearby. Overall cleanliness was amazing, location and space is nice, and I would book it again for these reasons."

I would go back and stay in Lodge 15 Langsdale again. Short trips in the car gave great views of the area and loads to do. "

Top Windermere Hotel Reviews

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service. Top notch quality. Everything about it was so great and convenient. Special thanks to the reception team, has always been there for any needs. Cleaning crew has done housekeeping multiple times in our stay without even requesting. Clean towels, carpets, curtains, toiletries. It was the best hotel experience for us in a long time. We will surely be back Belsfield. Thanks to Charlie and the other reception team (didn’t catch his name but wears spectacles) for being such an amazing host. Thank you"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, bar lovely, room very nice and clean, food excellent for price, spa nice"

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."
