I booked Windermere as we had never visited the Lake District before. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side, but that didn’t stop us from getting out and visiting the attractions.
After looking around for places to stay, we booked Windermere Suites and we’re really glad we did. We would happily return. The host is such a positive and welcoming lady, of you drive an EV just let her know and you will be allocated the parking area with the EV charger. The suite was very spacious and the bathroom was huge. Breakfast was ordered the night before and delivered to the suite at the time you requested, which was a great touch.

The fridges in the rooms are well stocked and the drink prices are very reasonable, not extortionate like you sometimes find in hotels. You simply pay for what you’ve used before you leave.
The town of Windermere is only a 4–5 minute walk from the suites, and Bowness is around a 10–15 minute walk away, so there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.
