Windermere, LA23 3LR
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!
We were very impressed with the receptionist who identified and advised us the original room we had been allocated would not be suitable so she made arrangements to alter this for us. Fantastic.
Beech Hill Hotel, Lake Windermere,room 10
Someting of an expensive Curate's egg.
At first glance bedroom/bathroom looked fabulous BUT, a) One bedside light did not work and had to be replaced by another which was a mismatch. b) Television hanging off the wall. c) Could not work out how to operate the whirlpool bath (no instructions) d) No place to contain soap or shower gel in the shower. e) the washbasin let water out as fast as it was filled.The plug did not seal) f) the glass shelf above the basin was at exactly the correct height to split your forehead when trying to splash your face.
65 stairs from room 10 to the lounge and more from the car park to reception.
Restaurant was excellent and the 65 steps could have been forgiven if the management had ensured that there were no defects in the bedroom/bathroom.
Fantastic Hotel!
Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights during the week. Welcoming staff, beautiful room (appeared newly refurbished), bathroom was on the small side but very clean, beautiful view of the lake from the room. Restaurant food was superb, evening meal and breakfast. Could not fault the food. The hotel was lovely and warm and quiet. The spa was a lovely addition to the stay with a hot tub looking over the lake.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommend to others
First Class
This was a present for my 80th birthday from my family, everything was first class and excellent. We had a lovely room with amazing view of the lake. The spa was out of this world, we loved sitting in the outside jacuzzi soaking up the views.
Fantastic hotel
