Nice hotel. Lots of renovation and work being done to the property. Thoughtful approach to communial areas. Room was big with lovely view but no fridge or air con. A fan was on offer but this was noisy. Staff clearly all had roles within the hotel. Cleaners were very polite and friendly. Other staff seemed to be fixed within their roles and a little flexibility might have been useful - twice at breakfast and once in the evening people were waiting to be seated with waiting staff appearing to be available but the 'host' unavailable. I think this would be an easy fix with bar and serving staff just commenting to waiting guests 'hello, somene will be with you soon'. When the staff were undertaking their roles they were polite and helpful.

Lakeside review

The low score was for the shower in our room. Ran it for 5 minutes and had to get someone to come and look at it to try and get it warm. When it did go warm it was hardly coming out. We didn’t ask to Change rooms so it’s on us. Apart from that the staff are great, food was lovely and the surrounding were amazing.

My wife and i stayed here for our Wedding Anniversary, Monday to today. Excellent staff in particular Reception, Noel & Cheys in Brasserie. Btw the back area needs a few cobwebs cleaning around glass panels, a little off-putting but no big deal. Food excellent, views suberb. Boat trips, Aquarium and steam train on the doorstep. Expedia charged an extra £40 per night for the booking, my bill from hotel was £120 less when it was presented to me, they kept that so i will book direct in future. (Do not edit that bit out, booking fee is outrageous!!) Other than that, it was a wonderful relaxing stay. Pool was a decent size too for a morning swim.Thank you to the staff for making it so nice.

We loved the history of the property. Our booking was very last minute since we were let down by another hotel. The Lakeside Hotel and Spa is very clean, you can feel the warmth when you walk into the property. Overall it was a good experience. The one thing i did noticed is you have to book your table for dinner every night otherwise you end up without a sit-in dinning. And we ended up skipping dessert a few times because as soon as the restaurants got busy it would take nearly 40minutes to get someone’s attention either for the dessert menu or the bill, i think personally think they may be short staffed? Not sure. But the staff in general are very good and nice people. We would definitely come back for another visit soon.

Relaxing overnight stay with family

We had an overnight stop here with teenage grandchildren. The hotel is beautifully situated on Windermere with lovely well-tended gardens and seating areas, which were appreciated on a hot day. Our grandchildren loved the pool and the fact that we were given a suite in which they had their own large bedroom. Breakfast was excellent. The only headache was not knowing where to stop and park on check-in. Parking for hotel guests is beyond the aquarium.

Considering we booked a suite for our 10 year anniversary we found the stay and service very average. Besides a chocolate left in the room there was no other option for anything else. No one ever picked up the phone at night when help was needed. Long wait for food for dinner at the restaurant, we have 2 small children and we were the last to leave! When husband asked for something special to celebrate anniversary there was no options given besides the pastry chef not being available. When asked for a menu when seated outside was just pointed to where to go. With having 2 small children, nothing done to help or make the stay easier. The surroundings and view are probably the best part of the stay, won’t be staying here again.

When we arrived on Saturday we weren’t impressed. Reception staff were not particularly welcoming and the hotel in general seemed to be chaos. Tables full of empty glasses, tables that needed clearing and basically badly understaffed for a sunny summers evening. We had to raise a couple of issues at reception and I was particularly annoyed by staff rolling their eyes at my wife for this. Our room was nice but way too hot. But, all the staff in the restaurant that evening were excellent and the food was great. Next morning the staff at breakfast were also excellent and the rest of our stay was faultless apart from housekeeping missing our room completely the next day. Things got better as time went by and we would definitely visit again. Lovely hotel, excellent location and overall all the staff are lovely. But, front desk team need some training. Overall very good after a poor start.

Now our favourite lakes hotel by far !!!

We stayed at this amazing hotel for our wedding anniversary on the 1st of August for 2 nights. The staff in all areas were out of this world and could not do enough for us especially in the restaurant and I have to give a special mention to Derrick who is incredible and takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. The food on the first night was one of the best restaurant meals I have had along with impeccable service. My wife had the chicken and said was the best she had eaten and I had the local lamb which was full of flavour and delicious. Then on the second night they surpassed themselves again. Never thought possible. I ordered a blue fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and my wife same but medium again cooked perfectly. The desserts were also to die for. Being a chef this is a great compliment to all the restaurant and kitchen staff Also the breakfast was wonderful plenty of choice from cold buffet, cereal , bread and pastries and then a choice of cooked to order breakfast with locally sourced ingredients the buttermilk pancakes were delicious and the full English. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with great bathrooms and very comfy beds. The housekeeping was impeccable also. Our view was amazing was a view of the lake and gardens from all windows stunning. The leisure club is a joy with a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and good sized pool with plenty of seating inside and out. They also gave us a free room upgrade, champagne and chocolates

The hotel itself is in a lovely idyllic location on the lake Windermere (lakeside) Very picturesque. The grounds are well maintained. The restaurant food was excellent and staff were very accommodating. The only downside was stains on the carpet in the bedroom and chipped furniture ,bathroom radiator was very rusty and marks on the walls definitely think the room needs to be freshly painted . Asked for extra teas and coffee milk from the reception in the evening but didn’t receive them was very disappointed and for the price we paid £294.00 per night we expected the room to be perfect.
