Would definitely stay here again. ##### Stephen Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Apr 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location Friendly staff ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, nice bar and room was great ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Terri Anne Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great location & lovely room ##### Terri Anne Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Muhammad Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities A quiet and comfortable place with amazing view of the valley and also a short walk into the hustle and bustle of down town. A great location and place to stay. ##### Muhammad Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 3 night stay Beautiful location, views are stunning on the outside terrace, rooms are lovely whilst small has all you need although would suggest a mirror on the dressing table. Breakfast was lovely, drinks very reasonably priced with a good selection and lovely welcoming staff. ##### Lauren Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline Jun 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s worth trying to get a room with a Lakeview and a balcony absolutely superb ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### loretta Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent hotel, staff amazing couldn’t do enough for you.

Was v patient. We swapped rooms 2 times and settled on the 3rd. Wish was fantastic. Bar staff were great too. We didn’t eat in the restaurant in the evening but breakfasts were great ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kanishk Nov 2, 2023 It was a wonderful stay. The staff were very pleasant and kind. The property was clean and good to stay with the family. ##### Kanishk Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stay here each year for the Great North Swim. One of the best in the area. Staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you. The hill up to the hotel is a killer if your fitness levels are not great and parking can be a small issue if it’s really busy. No Hash Browns at breakfast is unforgivable but that is the only slight on an otherwise good stay ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lynn Oct 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness Hotel room was very dated, carpet had a stain on it, tile in bathroom cracked. Not what we expected as cost £458 for two nights. Breakfast was good, with good variety. Location of hotel is good for walking to many bars and restaurants. Wouldn’t return based on cleanliness of the room. Another we never knew is you pay an additional fee to use the swimming pool. Have stayed in many hotels and never have I had to pay to use the facilities! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78f873e4-cf54-4b40-959c-25b940afd4a2-1759674101607.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9f016c00-2c8f-4beb-a3bf-4abb1ef4ed18-1759674102243.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34248511-e069-4081-b86e-bbb1a58d6cd5-1759674101871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lynn Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Updated grand old hotel The Ro is an old hotel that has been updated so there is some cool boutique decor but also some musty corridors. We paid for an upgraded room which was a good size, nice decor, bright with a great lake view. Bathroom was a bit small and in need of a little TLC. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Room pleasant, comfortable and quiet. Whole place seems to have been recently refurbished. Shame though that the badly stained carpet in the main corridor hasn’t been replace as this gives a very poor first impression. Overall would definately stay again. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EWAN Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice hotel. Staff very polite and attentive. View in morning over lake was stunning. Room was spacious with excellent bathroom and shower Used to go to local old laundry theatre which was. very close walking distance. Nice local restaurants. Excellent breakfast. Very nice hotel. If returning to the area we would use again. ##### EWAN Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities A fabulous terrace overlooking Lake Windermere. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Room very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately dining experience was poor, slow and unedable food as the salt was eye watering!! Waiter and manager were very apologetic and gave excellent hospitality. Disappointing as if they had a different kitchen team we would have given it 5 stars. ##### Helen Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Nov 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice comfortable stay. Breakfast was average no complaints. Room was comfortable and location was great. Although good for us a disability would make this difficult as the hotel is at the top of a steep hill. But overall it was really nice for us. ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily May 4, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The staff were so helpful and polite, they took fantastic care of us. The hotel and surrounding area were beautiful and well kept, the rooms were comfortable with plenty of space and accessible showers. Breakfast was included with the stay and was a delicious buffet, and dinner in the restaurant was fantastic. When we return to Windermere we will absolutely be coming back to stay here again. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Jun 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel, very clean, friendly staff. Room was a bit dark due to full blinds and once open neighbouring properties could see in. Also they didn’t provide much in terms of keeping the light out when trying to sleep. Everything else great ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Graeme Jan 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fab Location This was our first time here and won’t be the last.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was ok and had the amenities we needed. Enjoyed the daily breakfast to gear you up for whatever walk or attraction you pursued that day. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Chiseldon House](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Chiseldon-House.h24161816.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Haselbury Mill Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Crewkerne-Hotels-Haselbury-Mill-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h6438671.Hotel-Information) > > [The Eagle and child ](https://www.expedia.ca/Preston-Hotels-The-Eagle-And-Child.h109812810.Hotel-Information) > > [The Antrobus Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Salisbury-Hotels-The-Antrobus-Hotel.h15879840.Hotel-Information) > > [Hookwood Lodge London Gatwick](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Hookwood-Lodge.h20846189.Hotel-Information) > > [The Redlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Redlands.h3504305.Hotel-Information) > > [189 April Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Bradford-On-Avon-Hotels-189-April-Cottage.h31395197.Hotel-Information) > > [Trendrennen Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-Trendrennen-Farm-Bed-And-Breakfast.h35251746.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury shepherd's hut](https://www.expedia.ca/Christchurch-Hotels-Luxury-Shepherds-Hut.h24910197.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming 3-bed House in Levenshulme, Manchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Charming-3-Bed-House-In-Levenshulme.h103940695.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > > [The Telford Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Telford-Hotels-Telford-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h18485.Hotel-Information) > > [Cosy cottage located on the Isle of Purbeck ](https://www.expedia.ca/Wareham-Hotels-Luxury-Cottage-Located-On-The-Isle-Of-Purbeck.h18797221.Hotel-Information) > > [Reighton Sands 1](https://www.expedia.ca/Filey-Hotels-Reighton-Sands-1.h24239545.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Retford-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Bell-Hotel-Spa.h867431.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodlands Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Spalding-Hotels-Woodlands-Hotel.h26754547.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat New Forest](https://www.expedia.ca/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Retreat-New-Forest.h89711102.Hotel-Information) > > [Spence Cottage, Birdham 355904](https://www.expedia.ca/Chichester-Hotels-Spence-Cottage.h24038164.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Cross Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Sidmouth-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Guest-House.h3968950.Hotel-Information) > > [Clifton Park Hotel - Exclusive to Adults](https://www.expedia.ca/Lytham-St-Annes-Hotels-Clifton-Park-Hotel.h2301929.Hotel-Information) > > [Seabreeze](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-Seabreeze.h30994663.Hotel-Information) > > [5 bedroom accommodation in Pentney, King’s Lynn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-5-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Pentney.h92310860.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-The-Coach-House.h113925327.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-The-Sun-Inn.h104452889.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > > [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information)
