This hotel is perfect for a relaxing easy stay in The Lake District, England. I recommend to everyone. There no lifts but rooms on Ground and 2nd floor are manageable. Third floor rooms have beautiful views. The staff is lovely and the food is delicious!

Probably the best hotel in Windermere

I shouldn’t say to much because the Hillthwaite might put up their prices! Excellent, comes to mind, ten out of ten in all departments, but the big standout was high quality of the staff, I highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel & staff

The hotel is in an excellent position with views over lake Windermere, a very warm and cosy feel to it, they light the log burner in the lounges late afternoon/early evening, which is nice to sit by and have a drink. It's about a 20 minute walk into Windermere town and 10-15 minutes walk into Bowness, both towns are very nice. The staff were excellent from arriving at the reception where we were welcomed and a bonus that our room was ready (2.30pm) to enable us check in early. The rest of the staff were also efficient, very welcoming and friendly, I have to make a special mention to the two sisters (Louise & Claire) who were wonderful in the restaurant, they were so attentive and polite, an asset to the hotel team. The food was fantastic, we had an evening meal which was delicious and breakfast on both mornings which was wonderful too and very filling, especially the full Cumbrian breakfast. The room (19) was very pleasant and immaculate, the only negative I would mention was that we could here the fire door in the corridor banging in the morning from around 7am. The pool was very small but this was fine for a little swim to stretch off after being out all day and the sauna was great to relax in. There is parking right outside the hotel and we didn't really use the car after arriving as everything local was walkable. We will definitely return to this lovely hotel.

Hotel was nice although the pool was cold and the steam room wasn't working. My room was ground floor and as a solo female traveller, I would've preferred a room on 1st floor or above but it was clean and an ok size for one person. Food was great, very good selection for breakfast and all cooked fresh. Good, walkable distance from town with good public transport links to other areas.
