9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (363)
"Location is great. Staff are very helpful, breakfast is excellent and lots of choice. We had a superior room at the Windermere Rooms. I expected a better view/facilities for the cost, rooms were very warm but could be easily fixed by turning the radiators down. Floor in the bedroom was slightly uneven which didn’t affect the stay but something I didn’t expect for the price of the room. I would definitely stay again but probably wouldn’t pay for a superior room."

7.4 out of 10, Good, (39)
"What a room!! The view was delightful and as we had our 10 year old daughter with us we were amazed at the size of the room we were allocated. ( Helm Crag Suite ). The hotel was lovely with lots of character. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay there again. We had breakfast and dinner the 3 days we stayed. The breakfast was great but the dinners were a bit hit and miss, presentation was good but the crispy duck was more crackling than crispy."
