Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Hotel is ideally located on a main road in Windermere town but the road leads to Bowness on Windermere, which is approx. 20 minutes walk. The facilities and rooms are adequate for a base, if not a little tired and dated. This is very dog friendly, and this made our stay so easy. Also, the small team of staff are welcoming and polite. They are overworked (typical these days!) but nothing was too much trouble, refreshing to be treated in a genuinely friendly manner. The staff made the hotel inviting, and as mentioned if it was given a face-lift, tidy then this would be perfect! All in all, i would recommend and i would stay again next time

Very friendly staff, great breakfast and great location. Room was great and dog friendly, would definitely stay again. Close to bowness and amenities and close enough to walk to lake in 15/20 mins. Car parking at hotel and access to spa at hotel just on village outskirts.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Windemere Park. All of the facilities you need are accessible, the staff are welcoming/friendly and the location was perfect. A selection of continental and hot breakfast items were available. We also used the off site spa which was lovely after a long walk in the lakes. I would highly recommend.

Great location for the centre of Windermere. Just a couple minutes walk. Room tidy and clean. Bed comfortable. Excellent breakfast included. Full English, choice of fruit juices, fruit, croissants, cereals and porridge. Decore a little tired, otherwise I would have scored it a 5

A lovely hotel with all you need. Friendly pleasant and helpful staff who could not do enough for us. Breakfast was lovely made with good quality ingredients. No complaints whatsoever and we will return. Asked for a ground floor room and the staff sorted this out to accommodate us. Nothing was a problem. What a kind bunch they were!

Booked the standard family room and stayed in room 17. Room a generous size and very big bathroom. Great view from the double bed to. Smart tv in the living room which is a bonus. Would have been nice to have a curtain to split both rooms but other than that room was great. Breakfast was included and the young girl was on her own but did a great job serving everyone. Free parking is also a bonus. Very reasonably priced and will definitely stay again when next visiting

We stayed with our two children in the large family room in the attic during the February half term holidays. It was a good sized room with a double bed, sofa bed and single bed and was warm and comfortable, with the double bed separated from the rest of the room with its own TV. The bathroom was very large with a walk in shower. The carpet was rather tired (as was some of the furniture) and could probably do with replacing but it didn't impact on our stay in anyway! The staff were also really friendly and chatty and the breakfast was hot and tasty. The B&B was in a good location to visit both Bowness and Ambleside and we would definitely stay again.

Good location for restaurants and cafes within Windermere. Close to the lake, and short driving distance to other walks nearby. Staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was lovely. Room was just what I needed after a day of exploring. Bedding was clean and en suite was well suited with a shower mat if needed and toiletries equipped. Just a short walk to the centre with a few shops close by. Brilliant for the price I paid.

It's a classic case of staying somewhere you've stayed before that has changed hands and gone downhill. Apart from the generous off road parking everything has changed for the worst. The person on the check in desk, who we only saw once during our 3 night stay, seemed uninterested apart from handing over the key to the room. The room was adequate at best not dirty but not spotless either. Breakfast each day was a bit shambolic, constantly running out of hot water for tea and coffee, bread for toast and fresh orange juice. We actually felt sorry for the girl doing the breakfast service as one person had no chance of serving so many guests efficiently. We were able to find out that the hotel had become part of a group and was obviously being as cheaply as possible. We wont be staying again and would not recommend it to anyone which is a shame as it has been a very nice place to stay in the past.

Enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay. Room was clean and tidy, bed very comfortable with good quality linen. Large bathroom with hot powerful shower above the bath. The decoration and furniture are traditional and look well suited to the building. My only negative is probably a plus to most people who come here……I don’t like dogs in the dining room. Not the hotels fault, but I’m not keen on dogs sniffing around my legs while I’m eating. The place is easy to find and the parking is excellent.
