Hawkesmore , what a fabulous place

Absolutely amazing stay , so comfortable, Suzanna and Pamela are amazing hosts , couldn't do enough for us. From male the room gorgeous everyday to sorting taxis and giving the warmest welcome every morning at breakfast. My husband is always looking at facilities and cleanliness and said it was by far the best. Toiletries were a lovely touch and every comfort catered for. We will definitely be back

You won’t find a better place - perfect!

Fantastic place - can’t fault anything! Lovely, warm & cosy room with a nice calming view, good size & spotlessly clean. Amazing bathroom with bath & shower plus a TV for lounging in a piping hot bath after a days’ hiking. Beautiful high-quality toiletries & fixtures. Amazing breakfast & superb service from all staff. Plus it’s only a 15-minute walk to the lakeside.

Excellent stay and unforgettable experience.

We had an amazing time with our few days stay. Pam made us feel very welcomed and did her best to ensure we had all the things we needed for an unforgettable experience. Quality prevails everywhere at the property whether from room furniture to the tea coffee and snacks. Daily breakfasts were excellent and resembled a 5 star hotel experience. Location couldn’t be better and parking was provided free. We highly recommend this property and big thanks to the owner Pamela.

Had a lovely stay at the Hawksmoor. Check in with Pamela was stress free. We could walk (uphill) into Bowness and Windermere in 15 minutes, so location was perfect. The rooms were well equipped with toiletries, tea & coffee and ironing boards a readily available on each floor. Breakfast was very good, options were perfect with fruit, yogurt, cereals and cooked on offer. The staff were all polite and helpful. Access to our room (5) was via fairly narrow & steep stairs, which was hard work with a heavy bag (we were away for 8 days in total, I don't overpack, regardless of what hubby says :)), so if you are taking luggage or have mobility issues may be worth requesting a lower floor room. All in all, had a fabulous stay, loved Windermere & would definitely recommend. We would love to return.
