We spent 2 nights here as a resting point between Edinburgh & London in August, travelling with our 13 and 10 year old daughters. As a base in the Lake District, it ois perfectly located, being walking distance from bothe Bowness and Windermere, near the lake wharrf, shops, the ferry and hiking/running trails. The upside of this place is its... more

Was met with a friendly greeting from Andrew, all staff polite. Was in good location and near amenties. Car park very small. But did not live up to expections, was not like how it was portrayed on the website. Rooms tired and in need of decorating. En suite very tiny, sink behind the door and a very tiny shower, toilet... more

Have stayed here before, and had a nice time both times. However I will say that like many other small hotels and guesthouses in the lakes, it over claims on the website and is too expensive, (not all their fault as the market gets lazy when demand is so high). But the rooms are nice but some are cramped and... more

I stayed with my Children, aged 5 and 7, over the Late May Bank Holiday. I was naturally worried the hotel would not cater for everything 2 young children (and their dad!) needed, but I was pleasantly suprised. Wonderful, helpful staff. A great location 5 mins walk from the lake, with many restaurants, shops etc on the way. Easy to... more

We had the pleasure of staying here for a couple of nights at the beginning of May and it was lovely. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Our room was large and airy with an en-suite bathroom (not huge but how much time do you spend in there?). There was a double and... more

Firstly, I have to agree with the previous contributor, the website gives a view of a boutique style room, sadly, this is not the case, we had a room with a lake view (take binoculars) which I must say was very clean and large with a double and single, however it was dated, with the sink in the bedroom, old... more

Just returned from weekend at Lonsdale, first the good points - central location, friendly staff, fine breakfast. However, the website makes it appear to be a boutique style hotel with a contemporary feel so much so that when we arrived we thought we were at the wrong place! At the end of the day it was fine for a typical... more

Arrived to a warm welcome from Andrew. Showed us to our room and stated this has a lovely view - we were not disappointed. Fantastic look over the lake to the North and the Northern Fells. Room and Bathroom very clean. Although coming in from an afternoon walking it was slightly cool. It did warm up later evening and in... more
