Top Elterwater Hotel Reviews

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, absolutely massive with lots of areas and facilities. Room was huge!!!"

Lindeth Howe Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing stay! The hotel was clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, and all the staff were very polite, friendly, and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. The only downside was the attic loft room. It was quite small, and the sloped ceiling meant I hit my head several times near the skylight. Next time, I would prefer a standard room rather than an attic loft"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The location and views are amazing. Over looks lake Windermere and 10.mins in the car to Windermere on Bowness. The staff were lovely. The room lovely. Very comfortable bed. Loved the private hot tub. The Spa facilities really good. The outside spa is being updated so that was out of use which was a shame as the weather was so warm. Only criticisms were the shower cubicle tiles in our room weren't as clean as they should have been. However this was soon rectified once the staff were made aware. The sink made a gurggling sound after use for 5 mins or so but not major, and we would have liked black out curtains. It was dark but some light creeping in waking us up earlier than we would have liked They did offer us a free upgrade but we decided to stay in the room we had. As the upgrade was near the work being done on the spa and our room was lovely and quiet. Good job we took our own toiletries as they only provided 1 tiny tube shampoo and shower gel for 2 people for 2 nights. We did ask for more but none given. Think they forgot. For anyone with a mobility disability there are no lifts and not wheelchair friendly. Would have been useful to have had a fridge in the room to keep water cool and fresh. Breakfast was delicious and you could sit out overlooking the lake. Over all we had an amazing stay and we would definitely stay there again."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Not so great bits - Considering the high price of the room, the room we were allocated was very small in comparison to the other rooms The English breakfast was sadly tasteless and we felt we were an inconvenience to the breakfast staff when waiting to be seated and ordering toast etc Parking is not on site (tight to enter and keypad is very low) charged at £25 per stay and only valid for 1 hour after checkout Good bits - great central location, room and bathroom was well equipped, maintained and very clean, the lounge area has lovely views across the lake"

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean only slight negative was the extractor fan in the bathroom was slightly noisy. Parking was fine and we were able to park late morning and then check in late afternoon and not try find parking in Bowness which was helpful. As anyone that had checked out that morning had gone. The Breakfast was lovely and good selection."
