Outstanding as always

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Sept 2019via mobile
We are regular visitors to Windermere and Bowness and have been coming for the last 25 years but usually stay in Bowness. A year or so ago my sister in law recommended The Applegarth Villas to us, best thing she ever did. Our first visit we stayed in one of the AV Suites and I was smitten, we then came back in March this year and had an ‘ultimate luxury room’ again outstanding but I’d been spoilt on my first visit so we’ve just been back and stayed in the AV Suites again. Everything about this hotel, the staff, the rooms & the location are just amazing. You can have the lovely chilled Windermere it just a short drive / walk it taxi is the bustle of Bowness. We will be back probably next March now for my birthday & I think we’ll be doing 3 nights this time as 2 goes way too quickly. Thank you everyone we’ve had a lovely weekends break

Thank you for visiting Applegarth again and especially for taking the time to write such a lovely review for us . So many of our guests come so often that they don't even think to write a review so yours is very much appreciated! Great to hear that once again we lived up to your expectations and we very much look forwards to welcoming you back next March for your birthday celebrations

We stayed here for a weekend as we had a lovely Prosecco afternoon tea booked on the lake (a birthday present). This was postponed from June due to stormy weather at short notice and the owners were really kind and allowed us to rebook later on in the year even though we gave them only 48 hours notice. The hotel is easy to find with good parking facilities. We had an upgrade and the room was superb with a chaise lounge at the bottom of our bed. A family run hotel, this was an absolute treat from start to finish with good food, drink and hospitality. A real gem in the heart of Windermere.

Room tip: There is no lift in the main building; the apartments take dogs

This was booked as a surprise by my husband for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed in the Great How Suite, what a fabulous suite, pure luxury, everything was immaculate, couldn't fault anything. The bathroom was amazing with a choice of a rainfall shower or double spa bath compete with a TV. We had two huge balconies/terraces with stunning views, hot tub on one. We booked a table for Saturday evening, what can I say the food was delicious, beautifully presented and served to us by very attentive, friendly staff. Breakfast was also to die for, I have never had scrambled eggs and salmon like it before, wow. Our whole experience was just amazing, we will definitely be returning,. Thank you Applegarth for making our 30th Wedding Anniversary Celebration one to remember x

Just enjoyed the most wonderful 2 nights breaks with my fiance at the Applegarth .We booked one of the hotels suites and was both truly taken aback by the expanse of detail to décor and furnishing of our suite .From the exquisite bathrooms ( you have to see to believe how immaculately presented they are ) to the most beautiful balcony with stunning views .
We decided to have dinner at the hotel on both of our evenings as we were so impressed by the service and quality of the food ..why go elsewhere.
The food in the Applegarth certainly does not disappoint .Starting with the salt and pepper Squid and fishcakes , then salmon and steak , both courses cooked and served to our exact likings .Perfection.
The experience of our break at the Applegarth was outstanding , thank you , and we look forward to returning .

Always delightful to welcome guests to Applegarth who truly appreciate the attention to detail that we strive to achieve. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the balcony, its always great to have some private outside space. Considering we have the village of WIndermere with all the lovely shops and bars on our doorstep we are very fortunately that many of our rooms and suites enjoy lovely views over the Lakeland fells. Hope to see you both again very soon

My Fiance and i recently dined at the Applegarth Villa and all i can say is Wow!!!!

The Applegarth Villa has such a lovely, warm and inviting feel to it, the decor is just sublime and the staff could not have done more for us both if they tried.

I had the the Salt and Pepper squid and my fiance had the Fish cakes and the review for the nights dinning was set right there ........... just perfect.

For mains i had a Fillet Steak, now i love my Steaks but rarely can find a Restaurant that can cook a "Very Rare" steak properly, the Steak was cooked to perfection and barely required any cutting action as the Steak knife fell straight through!! my fiance had the herb crusted Salmon and although i didnt try it (too busy declaring my love for my Fillet) she assures me it was Excellent.

We both fell in love with a bottle of Amarone red wine which was recomended to us by the Bar Staff and just finished off the meal perfectly.

Id like to review the Puddings but we were both too stuffed to have the third course.

What i will say is, from what i saw coming through the resaurant, the Desserts just looked amaizing. Next time i will skip lunch to leave enough room for a Pud
