Thank you so much for the kind words. We loved reading about your time spent with us.
The staff was awesome. Michelle was a great boss. Tom, Daria, Christina, Anne Marie and Dez were just great. Made us feel right at home and very welcome. We would come back to the Angel Inn in a heartbeat. Parking was a little bit tough and the rooms were a little small but those are very minor issues for us.

Our stay in Bowness On Windermere was a last minute decision. We were very lucky to find this Inn. The family room was very comfortable & clean. Bathroom was nice, having a bathtub & separate large shower unit. Beautiful views of the surrounding village and a peek of Lake Windermere too.
Breakfast was lovely. A good breakfast selection with full English option, well cooked.
A friendly staff experience made our visit memorable for the right reasons.
Will definately stay there again on our next vsiit to the lakes.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are so happy that you had a great time with us!
The Angel Inn has a fantastic location-with lots to do & see in Bowness within minutes walk, and easy access to the excellent 599/555 bus service to explore the rest of the South Lakes.
The staff were all really friendly & helpful.
The breakfast was great, with a lot of options.

Excellent property, staff members were very courteous and service standards exceeded our expectations. Seating outside the hotel facing the lakes were amazing. Parking was adequate. 5 - 10 minutes walk to the main pier, bars, restaurants etc.

We can't wait to see you again. Thank you for your feedback.
Room was very good. Plenty of space. We paid extra for a room with a view of the lake but not much of a view was available!!
Staff helpful. Good restaurant. Excellent location

Parking is horrific - they have maybe 8 spots in front of the property and they do not designate them for guests. We had to park in the neighboring town which was about a 30min walk. The property itself was very charming and very nice, just like the photos. The food was decent. We would not stay here again because of the parking situation.

Great location. Everything was good except the room lacked basic amenities. I haven't stopped in hotels before which don't have small bar fridges. Would have thought it was a standard feature. Room was very small for a family room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Overpriced and not great
Overpriced tiny room, dirty sheets. Room hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly. Everything was an extra charge like moving to a bigger room (ours was a shoe box at about £150 for a night!). We spent a lot of time chosing hotel and there were lots of better alternatives that we will pick next time. At least they agreed to give us a slightly later check out (beyond the measly 10:30!) for which we we’re grateful. Nevertheless we won’t be back sorry!

Disliked: Room comfort
Uncomfortable stay
Unfortunately we had a room that is a separate building from the pub room 16.
I say unfortunate because this room is on the ground floor and the room above us had a family with children and from 7am we could hear these children running around non stop.
I spoke to staff and recommended next time they organise so that a family with children is placed on the ground floor to curb some of the noise from the bouncing and running around as the floorboards sounded like they were going to collapse.
Obviously this made our stay uncomfortable especially seeing as we paid £450 for 2 nights
Also on the first night our window came down on its own and has no way of securing properly obviously we wondered why the room was so cold during the night in the morning we found the answer to that out.
It’s also a security risk

Hotel was fantastic, food, room and colleagues all good. Only issue was on check out when they tried to charge me for the previous evening meal, when I had already paid the previous night for it. Had to show my bank app to prove I had paid

Staff at the Angel Inn were fantastic, warm welcome for us both and the dog. Could not fault the staff. Our room 32 for the 3 of us was a little small. Not the size of room we expected for what we paid per night. The room itself was clean well decorated. Lacked storage space that was closed so we could put things away. We would stay here again in a bigger room . The staff both in the Angel inn and housekeeping were just perfect.
