Hotels near Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club in Windermere

Disappointing trip overall. We was due to check in at 3pm, when we arrived the staff informed us that our room wasn’t clean and ready for us. We eventually got into our room at 4.45pm, shocking really when we had a baby and spent £300 for one night. The room looked tired, also had no curtain on the window. When we raised our concerns to the deputy manager, she gave attitude and didn’t seem to handle the situation correctly. We come to the lakes every year and stay at the Beech Hill however I’m afraid this will be our last stay. However, even though are stay wasn’t great, I would like to mention the restaurant manager and restaurant staff who was very friendly and delivered a great 3 course meal.

Beautiful hotel and just a few minutes walk to shops,bars and restaurants. The room named the mews that we stayed in was outstanding. Lovely comfortable bed with very nice bedding and super comfy pillows. The room was huge and had a lovely outside area to sit and relax. Breakfast was very nice as was the setting of the dining room. Staff super friendly especially Emily on reception nothing to much trouble and she made you feel very welcome. Every hotel needs an Emily!! Can’t wait to return .

An overnight stay whilst in the area for work - the cheapest hotel I could find in the Kendal area, and was literally only using it for sleep and getting ready the next morning. Yes the room was a bit shabby, but for how long I was there and for what I paid it really didn't matter. Facilities were clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited with wife for weekend break. First class service from moment you arrive at gatehouse. All staff attentive, polite and easy to have a conversation with. This starts with concierge, moves on to reception and on to bar, pub, restaurant and spa. Room was decent size - do not need massive room as will not spend much time in here. Nicely decorated, clean and well attended. We had room with hot tub on balcony which was great. Had food in hotel bar, in pub attached to spa and In restaurant. All excellent. Bar staff great with good choice of drinks and cocktails. Perhaps stock some gluten free bottled beer in future! Apart from that catered for my gluten intolerance very well and on second visit to restaurant they remembered this and had gluten free canopies for me. Only negative for me was daily car park charge because I didn’t book direct but I know for future. Well worth a visit.

Stay far away! This place is run by monters and rasist. They turned down a family of four because despite providing them with our names, surnames, address, telefon numers and bank statements of both of us that were accessed with passwords and security details on the phone (that they were keen to look at) my husband did not have a bank card on him! I had, I was fine but the whole Family of 4 was refused (already paid for) one night stay including two children one of which was 8 months old!!!!!! Staff decided it is ok to leave us with no accommodation on a cold and wet October evening. Far away from home we were forced to spend the cold night in the car with the baby with no access to hot water to make baby a milk! We have complaned to the manager many times who really did not care and believes the staff decision to turn all 4 family down including a baby was a great one, did not refund us already paid money and said we could book a stay elsewhere on the night. If we had money to book in a hotel (and short notice) we would not have booked a stay in a hostel for £37! Disgaceful monsters!

We arrived on a very rainy Monday and the bell tent was available straight away. The views are amazing and the space is great for a 4yr old, 6 yr old and 9 yr old to play around. We felt safe and looked after. The bell tent has charging point (USB) and a log burner. Outside there is a fire pit we used it to BBQ and sit around and a picnic bench. We also booked the air stream which was brilliant, it had a heater a fan and plug sockets… a small sofa and a table and chairs, fire pit outside. The toilet/ shower block was very clean and as I have never camped(glamped) before the facilities including the kitchen were welcoming and well used. On a negative there was a smell outside the toilet block and the walk up to the hostel was steep but walkers will not see this as an issue. Our family of 8 had a great time. Thank you.

Fantastic hotel with beautiful surroundings. We loved sitting in the gardens near the pond with all the friendly ducks. We visited their miniature village which was really good and the young lad had lots of knowledge. Staff are really friendly, breakfast was lovely and rooms were really nice and comfortable with a good outlook onto fields. We will definitely be back soon. Also only 10 mins drive from Bowness 😁

In my last post I said I would be back again so when they announced there new Sunday roasts I couldn’t resist. Safe to say I wasn’t disappointed! Starting off with a Celeriac soup which was to die for, not my usual choice but it had some serious flavour. For main we had beef cooked to perfection served with a generous portion of veggies. And finally I finished on the Raspberry soufflé which may be the best desert I have ever eaten. The staff once again warm and friendly and the views are just wow. What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday

Good bits: our suite was very nice and the breakfast food on offer was good even though you had to come down at a prearranged timeslot. The bad is that the overall management of this hotel, in our experience, was very poor. There were multiple occasions (in just 2 days) when what was arranged and agreed was just not acted upon. Here's some examples: On arrival a member of staff kindly reserved a breakfast table for 4 the following morning (as we were staying with another couple) but it was taken by somebody else when we came down so we had to assume this information wasn't passed to the breakfast team. We then arranged for seating for 5 people at breakfast the following morning - different staff member said that was fine and made a note of the room numbers - yet again this wasn't done and when we asked them to make up an unoccupied table set up for 4 to a 5 (plenty of room to add another chair ) this was refused. Weeks before arriving our friends had asked for their room to be set up as a twin rather than a double but of course that hadn't been done either. We asked for our room not to be serviced during our 2 night stay yet the first morning staff knocked to come in when my partner was on the toilet - again relevant details not passed on. We were told we had reserved parking spot at the rear of the property but parking was a free-for-all. The reception area seemed to be locked up and unmanned most of the time. Yes, there was a bell to ring, but you'd expect a member of staff to be visible especially in the mornings. Finally, whilst most staff were friendly and polite, one senior staff member was off-hand when dealing with a simple request (and we overheard her being brusque with another couple). Her attitude was unpleasant and gave the impression that customers were really a bit of a nuisance. Maybe we just picked a bad weekend so whilst it wasn't a totally awful stay by any means there was enough incidents over a short period to put us off staying there again or recommending it to anyone if it continues to be run in this slack and unprofessional way. I do worry for its future.

I saw 167 square meters on Trip.com. It was a pocket room. It was too far from the city center and scenic spots. There were few buses and self-driving was acceptable.
