"A stunning hotel in an incredible location right on the lake, with breathtaking views throughout. The rooms, facilities and overall standard of the resort were excellent, but the real standout was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive and welcoming, which made the stay feel even more special. Would definitely recommend Low Wood Bay and would happily return."

The Ryebeck Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We booked the Ryebeck for our 15th Wedding Anniversary, and we were made to feel welcome before we even arrived. Craig and his team made us feel welcome and part of the furniture. They're incredibly attentive and accommodating. The room was clean and very comfortable, with a great shower. The view out over the lake is incredible, and the gardens are lovely for a stroll. Dogs are very welcome and are treated to sausages at breakfast. The Chef might be the best-kept secret ever! We were blown away by how good the food and the menu are. It can change a couple of times a week depending on what the chef can get from local producers. Breakfast was also delightful, and the French toast was unreal! It's a short walk into Bowness with plenty of parking in their car park. We are already looking at dates to book again."

Windermere Manor Hotel

8/10 Good
"A Grand Old Lady in beautiful grounds. Scrupulously clean. Staff were kind considerate and very helpful. Our accessible room in the cottages was a 2 minute walk from the main hotel up a long and very steep incline, but you can drive to the front of the hotel if you have limited mobility. There is a reserved parking space right outside the cottages which is very useful. Room was very spacious with easy access up a ramp into the cottage for a permanent wheelchair user. Good accessible wetroom with a roll under sink and a shower chair - just to note for para/tetra guests this is not usable if you cannot easily transfer or have no mobility as the arms are not removable. There is a small kitchenette that includes a microwave and fridge plus a kettle and coffee machine. Coffee pods, teabags and milks were plentiful. Pool is great and was lovely and clean, but here is no hoist for disabled guests. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet. There is no room service but the staff are very happy to help you with a takeaway breakfast. This is delightful to eat on the cottage patio. The restaurant was a little disappointing, we expected something a bit more upmarket for the style of the hotel. No table service, you have to order all food and drinks from the bar and the menu is limited basic fayre. Though the menu changes daily. Not enough selection for drinks at the bar. Only nonalcoholic choices were 1 lager and 1 stout. They had nonalcoholic wine on the menu, but it wasn't available."
