Lakes Hotel and Spa
Lovely stay. Large room. Well appointed public bars and spaces. Only disappointment was the buffet breakfast. The food in the hot service display wasn't replenished frequently enough. Food was left for long periods making the bacon & eggs beyond the capability of a steak knife.

Windermere Manor Hotel
The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and helpful. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed an early swim before our breakfast, which was a hot and cold buffet with a great selection. All in all a great overnight stay.

Fair Rigg by Cradel Haus
Our stay at Fair Rigg was wonderful! We had a lovely relaxing trip, walkable distance to the town but also very reasonable taxi fare into the centre in the evening. Very comfortable stay - lovely modern room and for a fantastic price, thanks again for making us feel so welcome!
