Reviews of Ellerthwaite Lodge Hotel

( 6-10 of 14 )
“Average Hotel”

Ellerthwaite Lodge Hotel

19 Oct 2007

Stayed in this hotel recently on a tour to the Lake District, so couldn´t choose the hotel myself, it was prebooked by the travel agency. The Hotel is located very conveniently at the entrance to Windermere. To walk into the town of Bowness it takes about 1-2 miles.
The hotel itself to me is just average. The decor of the room is late 70s, early 80s. In fact, the bathroom was quite new, just with toilet and shower. The sink was in the bedroom, which made it a bit complicating to change from the toilet to the bedroom and back all the time.
Tea and coffee making facilities were a nice touch. And although I was booked into a single room I had a twin room for single occupancy which was nice to get more space.
Room and bathroom were clean.
Although e-mailing the hotel to give me a quiet room on an upper floor, they never responded to it and I got a room facing a street and on the ground floor, although they were not fully booked.
Breakfast was the normal continental buffet style with hot food from the menue card.
Overall: next time I would stay somewhere else, closer to the town center and lake, and in a nicer hotel.

Thank you for your comments. We took ownership of Ellerthwaite lodge in June this year, You are correct in your obeservations and the room you stayed in is being refurbished this November 2007, we are moving the sink and replacing everthing in the room, infact we are going to be refubishing the whole building during the winter. As for the email you sent we did not recive it! probably because the old owner had various email addresses on diffrent sites and we have not been able to track them all down. I hope this goes a little way to helping you reconsider staying again.

My partner found the Ellerthwaite Lodge Hotel on the web, we chose because of the location and price.

Roger (the owner, waiter, barman, reception.......) was an excellent host, we had fun chatting with him in the bar every evening once we returned from our travels.

Our room had a lovely view, we were told that others had an even better view of the lake.
Parking is ample and to the rear of the hotel.
You have plenty of choice for breakfast.
Pets are welcome, but check first for exact details.

Location is superb, walking distance to Windermere, Bowness on Windermere, World of Beatrix Potter and plenty of shops.

We are recommending this to our friends and family and will certainly visit again ourselves

If you are looking to stay in this area then phone here first, you will not be disappointed!!

“Very clean and comfortable. Great Value and friendly service.”

Was looking for a short break in Windermere and there are so many Hotels and B&B online. I was very sceptical booking as you are never sure what to expect. When we arrived we were more than happy. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel very welcome and this continued for the rest of our stay. The hotel was nicely decorated and very clean. We were shown to our room and it was a good size with a view of garden and again very clean ( Room 11 ) The bar was small but was well stocked and made for a good nightcap before bed. Breakfast in the morning was very good with a good selection of cereals. We went for the full english and was served on very hot plates and the food was hot until the last bite. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the area. We paid £112 for a double room for 2 nights with a full breakfast which is great value for money.

“A very enjoyable stay”

We found the hotel to be extremely pleasant and Roger (the manager) to be very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very well-kept and attractively decorated. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was very nicely cooked. The hotel garden is extremely pleasant. We stayed for four nights and will definitely return on our next trip to the area.
