Windermere, LA23 3LR
Good lakeside hotel, with magnificent views and free parking.
Wonderful position with views over lake Windermere, through large windows, from balconies and garden areas.
Very pleasant staff!
All food is good and the evening meals are great.
The indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room are welcoming.
The outside jacuzzi is excellent, with views over the lake and hills, which is very relaxing.
We always enjoy our stay!

Pre-Christmas break
Restaurant and lounge areas were really welcoming.
Breakfasts and evening meals were all very good, really good standard.
Drinks in bar and restaurant reasonably priced, good value.
Room was clean and well presented, fantastic lake view. However, the bathroom was a little small and dated.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, the staff were superb and a credit to the hotel.
Anniversary treat
We had a 2 night stay and loved it. Comfortable accommodation, helpful staff, gorgeous spa, fabulous views, excellent food.
Pre christmas break
First class hotel nicely decorated for Christmas with super Xmas trees, lake views superb, spa was fantastic quality, A1 relaxation centre, highly recommend to everyone. To recap the hotel was nice and clean, very friendly well dressed staff, restaurant food amazing, 5 minutes drive to bowness so location is great. We will definitely use again ourselves. Thanks to all for our lovely stay.
Good hotel
We enjoyed our stay with one exception the bed was very uncomfortable and also small the overall decor of the room we were in needs updating, the rest of the hotel and the service were excellent and you could not fault the restaurant
Nice location
Just on lake Windermere, there is a lovely view from the hotel, which I think is the hotels strongest feature. There is a lovely pool, with a hot tub outside overlooking the lake. This was very luxurious. The room was ok, not luxury but ok. The bar is a real let down, selling bad wine and terrible beer. Just bog standard stuff at hotel prices. A real low point. The restaurant was ok, the food was nice enough, but not amazing.
The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Overall we had a lovely stay, but the bar really needs updating. Situated close to bowness there is plenty to do nearby.
Nice stay at Beech Hill
we had a lovely stay at this hotel, but were disappointed in a couple of things, the sink had a couple of large cracks in it. We couldn't control the room temperature, and it was really hot. Our extractor fan didn't seem to work, but next doors was really noisy, one night it was on until midnight.
A room with a view..... and what a view!
Charming, idiosyncratic, friendly.
Brilliant views over Lake Windermere from the terrace, restaurant and most rooms. The hotel has been extended in may phases over the years so pick your room carefully. Rooms 46 to 50 have great views and are large and comfortable with a patio door to an outdoor terrace with table and chairs.
Good spa with a smart, reasonably big indoor pool, excellent sauna, steam room and outdoor Jacuzzi.
The restaurant serves tasty, well cooked food without being too "chefy".
All the staff we met were very helpful and friendly.
A great stay, we will be back!
