Windermere Suites Reviews

Love this place, will come again next time!

We stayed in the Coniston suite for the weekend as a late booking. What an experience! Beautiful lounge area, fabulous bedroom with small room off with clothes storage and the fully stocked minibar and refreshments station. The bathroom was probably the biggest I’ve ever stayed in. The jacuzzi bath holds two adults and was a real treat. To top it off, our suite had a private patio and we enjoyed an afternoon in the sunshine on arrival and then had breakfast there on the next morning. Breakfast arrives on a trolley to eat in your room, which is really nice and private. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Five minutes walk up the hill into Windermere town centre to eat so really convenient. Lots of car parking and plenty of EV chargers so literally everything is thought of. Cannot recommend this venue enough.

We stayed in the Cartmel suite for two nights as a last minute change of accommodation, and the owners couldn’t have been more accommodating for us. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious, the facilities included a minibar, jetbath and more. The balcony doors in our room were a beautiful touch to eat breakfast by, which was included in the price of our room, and had lots of tasty options also. We spent a lot of time in the jetbath, with different jet settings included, and remote controlled LED lights above to suit any mood. The bed was one of the biggest and most comfortable we’ve slept in and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. We will absolutely be returning on our next holiday back to Windermere!

We visited as an early anniversary trip for a l9ng weekend. We stayed friday to monday. The suites is easy to get to and a 5 minute walk to windermere and a 20 minute walk down a hill to bowness. The suite it self was on the back of the property and you could access it from the car park rather then through the main entrance so it meant we could come and go as we pleased with keys to our patio doors. There is a small area to sit out on with chairs and a small table. In room there is a king sized bed dressing table sofa and table and 2 chairs to sit and eat. There is a serving hatch on back wall which was used to serve breakfast each morning with staff ringing room to let you know it was there. You are given a breakfast menu with times of breakfast and choose which ever you preferred menu is plentiful and loved our morning breakfasts. There is a closet that had tea and coffee making facilities and a small chargeable mini bar. Room had hanger space and also a mini safe for valuables. The bathroom was a good size with walk in shower with a disco light up shower head there is also a jacuzzi bath with room for 2. The room was a great base for enjoying the lakes and also enjoying excellent food from local restaurants. Which meant we could easily walk and leave car at the suites. We enjoyed our stay very much and if we are in lakes again would come back.

We spent 2 nights at Windermere Suites staying in the fantastic Keswick super luxury suite. When checking in Vicky was brilliant, explained the local area, gave food and drink recommendations and showed us to our room. The suite was large, clean and quiet. The bed was huge and really comfortable. The was was great to sit and relax. The en suite bathroom was equally as impressive with the large air bath being a particular highlight. The walk in wardrobe was excellent to keep all bags and clothes out of the way and the room nice and tidy. Breakfast delivered to the room in the morning was exactly at the time we requested and was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for Vicky, we had a fantastic break and will definitely be booking again.

We had a brilliant stay thanks to Vicky, Jonathan and the team. This was our second visit to the Windermere Suites; this time we stayed in the Grassmere Suite; this was a lovely bright room with a lovely huge comfy bed, lots of wardrobe space, all the amenities including a paid mini bar if you need it; overlooking the main road. The TV has Netflix, YouTube, iPlayer all included. The room service breakfast is pre ordered the day before and delivered at your chosen time. We enjoyed a range during our 3 night stay including full English, Vegetarian, Boiled Eggs, Pastries and more. All very nicely served. The room is as toasty as you’d like it to be with powerful radiators if you need them - and it comes with a lovely sized bathroom that includes a jacuzzi bath tub, tv in the room and walk in shower. The hotel is within walking distance to all the amenities, pubs, restaurants and attractions in Bowness and Windermere. Really enjoyed our stay and have already booked to come back for New Year at the end of 2024. Looking forward to visiting again! Thanks to Vicky, Jonathan and all the team for the warm welcome 😊

We spent two nights in the Patterdale suite as a mini-moon and we really enjoyed it, It’s warm and inviting with a fantastic jacuzzi bath. The breakfast to your room was a lovely touch. The bed was comfortable and it was just a 15-20 min walk into Bowness with lots of shops & restaurants plus a 5 minute stroll into Windmere. The location was lovely, a short stroll to Lake Windermere and great location to get to the predator experience for walking with wolves! Vicky and her team were lovely and a visit from her little pooch was more than welcome :) We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

We’ve just spent three beautiful nights here and we couldn’t fault it. It’s warm and inviting with class. The jacuzzi bath is wonderful. The breakfast to your room and the choices / food quality is excellent. The bed is comfortable and enormous. It’s a 15-20 min walk down into the town. Loads of places around to eat. Just loved it. And what’s not to love about The Lake District? We will be back. Thank you.

We enjoyed a couple of nights here, lovely spacious, comfortable suite. The pre-ordered breakfast was very good but beans better served in a separate dish and a butter knife was needed. Close to some excellent restaurants, Francine's and Tapios plus a few Italians etc we didn't get a chance to try. Unfortunately our jacuzzi bath didn't work, should be tested between visitors,😓 this would have been a 5 rating otherwise. It's not cheap but if you want something a bit different with lots of parking then this is for you.

I had booked a 2 night stay for £540, I had a family bereavement and had to re schedule, which was done with no issues. Unfortunately, I contracted Covid so had to reschedule again, which we did, this was in the midst of Covid restrictions. My (then) partner contracted Covid for our third attempt at staying BUT this time we were told we would now not be able to reschedule and we’d lost our money- this was a massive shock and cannot believe this isn’t illegal and it’s certainly immoral. Be careful if you have to cancel.

My husband and I stayed in the Coniston Suite for 3 nights over the August Bank Holiday weekend: Friday 25th to Sunday 27th, and we both really enjoyed the large and comfortable accommodation. The Windermere Suites are perfectly located for both the walk into Windermere (10 minute walk) and down into Bowness-on-Windermere (about a 25 minute walk). Both depending on the speed you walk! The Coniston Suite is located at the front of the building on the ground floor, but we never heard any traffic, at any time of the day. It is not right on the edge of the road as there are 3 car parking spaces and a good size forecourt, at the front of the building. There is also a car park at the rear. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was of very good quality. We both slept really well, every night. The bathroom was beautiful and the towels were very fluffy and good quality. There was a separate hospitality room off the bedroom with a kettle, fridge and all the other facilities that you would expect in a suite, and this also doubled up as the walk in wardrobe too. This was a clever way of providing the guests with all the facilities that they would need behind a door, keeping the main rooms looking elegant and stylish, which is what the Windermere Suites are. I also enjoyed the private outdoor patio area. It was a nice area to sit at 7am, for a quiet cup of tea and also to have a glass of Prosecco before going out on the evening. The breakfast was excellent, every day. Great quality produce and cooked to perfection. 10 out of 10! The 2 members of staff (the breakfast lady and Jonathan who was front of house) were lovely and very polite. I would like to thank Jonathan especially. He is a credit to the Windermere Suites. He really looked after us. He gave us advice, recommendations and he was genuinely interested in what we were doing for the day and when we came back, how our day had been. Great customer service. I would recommend staying at the Windermere Suites if you are looking for a lovely, stylish place to stay. A message for the owner, who we met on the morning we checked out: We absolutely loved our stay at your Windermere Suites and we will return when we visit the Lake District in the future. I do hope you have rectified the issue at the French doors in the bedroom, that we brought to your attention on arrival and discussed as we left. It is easily solved as I explained. As you can see, I have still given you a 5 as we really did have a marvellous time and I do believe you will rectify it!

Alot of the pictures and information about the property are deceiving and it definitely is not worth the price you get charged. We had gone to celebrate our first anniversary and only choose this place for the Jacuzzi spa bath we paid good money just for the spa bath but the first night we couldn’t get the plug to stay in, which the staff sorted the next day for us and then once we filled the bath and switched it on few minutes later everything went off. We called the staff in and they found the issue in the fuse box, it was tripping due to which we couldn’t use the spa bath. When we told them we wasn’t happy at all, and if they could change our room but they couldn't. So we said we would like to check out and have a refund. The staff put us through to the owner who accused us that "we broke it" and when i asked how can we break it when it was the fuse box that was tripping she was still adamant and said that nothing could be done over the weekend and that she wasn’t willing to refund us so basically we was paying nearly £500 just for a bed and breakfast for two days. There was afew other things that we was disregarding in the beginning like the toilet paper handle falling every time we used it. The shower head wouldn’t stay up and kept turning in a direction which was no good and every time we used the shower the floor flooded. There was mould on curtains and skirting boards, the creaking bed frame it's supposed to be a 4 star property but it was worse than a 2 star. The whole weekend turned out to be a shamble for us, our moods were totally dampened and our whole trip was just ruined and our money was wasted too. We complained to bookings.com and we got told they had said they had assisted us in our complaints and tried resolving the issues but that was a lie, after the spa bath tripping the fuse box we was waiting to be told if they was getting a plumber but nothing was mentioned to us until we inquired. Also beware you don't get told there will be a £50 late charge if you check in after 9pm until you have confirmed your booking. Honestly don't bother wasting your time and money here it's definitely not worth the hassle.

The accommodation is a little bit quirky, but very much in a nice way. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. It is a perfect location for exploring the Lake District and there are local eateries within an easy walk. Bowness-on-Windermere is an easy downhill walk, but you might want a taxi back after dinner. Following a long, strenuous walk at Ullswater, we were very grateful for the relaxing spa bath which we both could fit in. Breakfast is included. The Cumbrian breakfast is very hearty and we struggled to do it justice. The sausages were the highlight. If we return to the Lake District, this will be our first choice to stay.

We stayed in the Bowness Suite. It was clean and comfortable, 5 Star? No. Plastic uncomfortable chairs and table did not fit in to the room at all, a clear quick fix. The Private patio is a small piece outside the door, with one very badly positioned fence panel separating you from the car park. The road runs right next to it with the walk to the reception so absolutely zero privacy. This could be so much better and is a shame. The noise!! The noise from the room above is awful! I accept not the hotels fault, or the guests above, it’s one of those things but bear it in mind if you choose to stay ground floor. Someone in a review here mentioned a pool pass, we were never told or offered this. A disappointment. Breakfast so lovely delivered to your room, lots of choice. The hot breakfasts are clearly cooked ahead though and kept warm, quite dried out when they arrive. Staff extremely helpful, location perfect. All in all a good stay, not 5 star or worth the amount we paid, but with a few very small tweaks it could be!
