Good location for Windermere, excellent rooms with good beds and showers, use of the pool and sauna included - these were nice but a bit small for the number of people staying there, some good art work too

The cafe at Brantford does amazing brunch and for those Beatrix fans, Hill Top is great. The pub though is something else, the landlord is a treasure chest of information.

The countryside is absolutely stunning.
The countryside is absolutely stunning. Luckily for us the weather was beautiful just the right temperature for us and the sun was shining. We picked a good time of year as in the summer I would imagine it would be extremely busy. It's like every other old town narrow streets needing a bit of navigating. We visited the Beatrix Potter Museum which was great. We drove to Ravenglass and went on a steam train. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants in both Windermere and Bowness.

Windermere was a lovely little town and great as a home base to see other areas around the Lake District. There are many Bars, Restaurants and Cafes around the area great to start the day or finish the day with a Pint. Many beautiful walks around for all fitness levels. Highly recommend these cafe's eateries.. Toast, HomeGround, The Crafty Baa and The Elleray does a great Chicken Burger!

So much to see with excellent bus service that can take you virtually anywhere. There are boats that take scenic cruises to various spots around the lake. Wish I had more time because the variety of places to visit I would say can take at least a week.

Windermere is very small and pretty, but you're better off going to Bowness if you want all that *plus* the views. Windermere was quieter than Bowness though, which makes it a great place to stay over if you're travelling to more touristy places nearby in the daytime. There is an amazing gift shop in Windermere on the corner, and the Tapas restaurant looked great, even though we didn't get time to eat there. The park on Park Road was lovely for dogs and kids, and big enough to have a proper walk around.

An average selection of shops and bars/restaurants.
An average selection of shops and bars/restaurants. Bowness-on-Windermere is approx 1 mile away, this has a better choice of bars/shops/restaurants. The bus station in Windermere is located near the main road entrance. Bus trips are currently £2 per person each way (April 2024) and we decided to travel by bus to Keswick and enjoy the stunning scenery, and no expensive parking charges. Will definitely be going back to Windermere.
The location itself is excellent, in the Lake District, close to Bowness on Windermere, and walks out the backdoor to Brant Fell and others. The Oaks itself is so relaxing, quality furnishings, fabulous kitchen with four ovens... and dining area, numerous lounge rooms so everyone can find their own space if they wish to, so no one on top of each other. The bedrooms with en suite showers and toilets were just perfect. I would not hesitate to book again and return.
And then of course there was the view...
We stayed at the j’adore suite which was very lovely as it was away from the main hotel and felt like our own little place. we had the hot tub outside, spa bath and steam room. the room was very clean, fresh towels every day and it felt very cosy. We would have loved to extend our stay. Windermere lake was within 10 minutes walking distance and shops, restaurants and pubs were very close by. Also, breakfast and hospitality was 10/10 for us! We will be definitely visiting again.
The hotel was beautiful with fantastic views of Lake Windermere. Blue Smoke on the Bay restaurant was amazing, incredible service and went above and beyond for us (as it was my birthday). The Wood-fired Afternoon Tea was beautiful and well exceed expectations, staff in the restaurant couldn't be faulted. Spa and pool are gorgeous but slightly misleading as many of the facilities are only accessible to those in premium rooms.
The reception and hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Comfortable room with excellent bathroom. The swimming pool and sauna are a great addition and easy to reserve a space. The breakfast is fantastic with a range of pastries to start and various choices for breakfast (the Cumbrian full breakfast is brilliant) The coffee and fresh orange is fresh and tastes amazing. Amazing views overlooking Windermere area.
Excellent suite accommodation with on site parking.
Home from home feel. Private access to your suite and your own patio to enjoy the beautiful garden.
The host was very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble.
Fantastic breakfast, cooked to perfection.
Very close to all Windermere has to offer.
Also great for people without a car as just a few minutes walk from the train and bus station and the supermarket.
Good, modern hotel well situated 10 mins from Windermere and 20 from Bowness. Check in and ongoing keyless access worked well. Parking space was a available. The apartment was a bit tight on space but manageable. As other reviews have mentioned, the fridge is powered by a jet engine so it had to be switched off overnight. Bit pricey but within the range for good hotels in the area.
The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. The hotel itself was decorated beautifully and was very clean. The location was ideal for exploring Windermere and the wider Lakes area. The food was high quality and cooked to order and the selection was great. Having a parking space on site was an unexpected added bonus.
We had a patio that we could use from our room. The views were fantastic. Our room was very spacious, bigger than we expected. Bathroom was big. Lovely shower. We found everything to be clean & very comfortable.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel to family & friends.
The property was very clean and cozy, the breakfast and the homemade cakes were amazing. The location is great since it is close to the Windermere railway station and bus stops, so it was convenient to travel around the Lake District; also walking distance to Bowness. Overall a great stay!
everything was perfect - cosy room, location so near the lake side and shops.bars/restaurants etc , amenities (off site spa was especially nice added bonus) friendly hosts and amazing choice for breakfast. Would definitely stay again if visiting bowness on Windermere.
The breakfast was absolutely amazing, couldn't recommend the carribean breakfast enough! Denis and Anita are so accommodating and lovely and the guesthouse located right in the centre of Windermere!
