Central location in Windermere within walking distance of lovely independent shops, bars and eateries. Sainsbury's is just across the road and open until 2300 for any provisions. We were greeted by Kirsty who was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Room 8 is on the second floor in the roof space and was ample for our stay - ensuite, refreshments area, small fridge and a couple of seats. It's not a room you want to spend hours relaxing in but if you need more lounging space, there is a comfy communal lounge on the ground floor. Breakfast was very good and served up freshly cooked rather than a buffet. We'll certainly stay again for our next visit to the Lake District.

Car parking was very tight but workable and it was a little noisy with the windows open at night but this should be expected for such a central location in a busy tourist town. Despite this, we both slept really well.

My husband and I came to Holly Lodge for a break away before our family grows. We came for a relaxing break away in nature and it did not disappoint. Before we even arrived we had loads of helpful information about our stay. We were able to come and go as we pleased with staff on site if anything was needed. The room was clean and styled nicely. We had everything we needed including a small fridge which was stored away for optional use. There was a small section with hot drinks and some biscuits which were great for the evening downtime. Breakfast was served between 08:30 - 09:30 where we were greeted with smiles and great service with a pre-ordered breakfast. The location was perfect, we were on the doorstep of some boutiques and some cafes. Only a short 20-minute walk away was the nearby village called Bowness on Windermere, which had more options for restaurants, shops, and a nearby pier to get a boat taxi throughout the lake. Top notch 2 days stay and we were well looked after. Would recommend.

There was nothing that we didn't like which was in the control of the team. On our first nights stay an alarm went off in the middle of the night. By the time we got up it had stopped and that was surely entirely out of their control.

The property is in a fantastic location, shops, bars & restaurants on the door step & 20 minute walk to Bowness where there is plenty more. The staff are really friendly, beds are really comfy, breakfast was really lovely aswell! I’d of been happy to pay for the food and service we had received in the morning. Self check in is pretty straight forward. Can’t really complain at all. Lovely place to stay, would come back!

If I had to be picky, parking isn’t the best, although there was parking available it’s either try reverse down a narrow part of the building or do a 30 point turn at the back of the property if your not lucky enough to get a spot on the road, also if your on the top floor it can get very hot at night, was really hot whilst trying to get to sleep, but again if I had to be picky. The highs definitely outweigh the lows.

Breakfast was lovely, it being freshly prepared by staff for our arrival in the dining room meant we weren’t eating food that had been out a while. Our bedroom had a lovely vibe, the whole Guest house had a lovely quirky vibe. All the staff we met were extremely friendly and helpful. The lounge area was nice.

The cooked Full English breakfast portion size was very small. We could hear all the other guests entering and exiting their rooms due to the forceful nature in which the doors had to be slammed closed. It made us feel guilty entering the property late at night.

The lodge is very comfortable, clean and well organised. The staff were all really friendly, and everything we needed was provided for us. The rooms were also spotlessly clean. The location is also perfect for walking around Windermere and its surroundings. The communication was also really helpful. We walked up Orrest Head thanks to the recommendation from the hosts - a lovely view at the top!

The only complaint I have is that the pillows we had on our bed were very poor quality. Not a major issue for a short stay though!

The breakfast was lovely and our room 6 was large enough for us with 3 single beds , the guest house itself was really clean and free parking was a bonus . Our room had a lovely view from the side window . There was a Sainsburys across the road aswell which was handy if you d forgot something , there was a few nice pubs and cafes around the corner aswell . Stagecoach prices were brilliant the stop was just at the end of the road we got a red route for £33 for upto a group of 5 which you can use all day so you can visit Keswick , Grassmere, and other places unfortunately the weather was against us that day but well worth the money and a bonus if the weathers good

The only thing I thought could be an improvement was more choice at breakfast as in yogurts and fruit .

Key safe to enter property for different rooms, great idea makes it easier in my eyes. Lovely place. Very cozy. In distance to everything. Nice walk down to lake and shops. Many restaurants near by. Went to spa and pool this was lovely aswell easy to get to. All relaxing. I found everything great. Shower was good pressure and heat. Only saw host in morning for breakfast she was nice, saw to us straight away when we went down for breakfast. Breakfast was good, help yourself to cereal and toast. Different spreads available. Could have had abit more like extra sausages and bacon but 10/10. Very clean and tidy. Loved all my experience.

Boyfriend said bed was too hard for his likings. Said he struggled to get to sleep. I didn’t mind it had a good night sleep. Each to their own though. We all have our preferences.

The room was a good size and the beds were low but comfortable. The shower was hot and powerful. The property was a good location and near to local shops and restaurants. Communication was good prior and during our two night stay. The breakfast was great and there was a lots of choices. Lovely stay, thank you.

Sadly the Spa off site was not available during our stay which was beyond their control. Disappointed that a packed breakfast was not available for an early morning departure on our first morning when we were entering the Great North Swim but at least we knew this before so could get our own lunch

I stayed at Holly Lodge because of the great location, close to lots of lovely places to go for scenic walks and hikes. The guest house was really comfortable and welcoming, and it was pretty quiet too which I appreciated. It’s right in the heart of Windermere and just a short walk to Bowness, which was super convenient. Everything was very clean, the breakfast was great, and the staff were so kind and personable which made me feel welcome. You can tell the family really care about the place. I’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, breakfast was fantastic, room gorgeous, close to shops pubs and restaurants as about a minute walk and about 15-20 walk to lake Windmere or can get bus down but was a lovely walk down, we did get a taxi back as stayed in Windmere all day and explored pubs all day. Taxi was a fiver to get back.

Location, couldn’t afford to stay in lake Windmere however the location of this hotel was perfect and pubs and shops about a min away and then close walk to lake Windmere. Would stay again if price stays around same price as we stayed beginning of March so for 2 nights price was £208 including breakfast. We wouldn’t be able to afford any higher so I will keep checking price and when it’s around this price I will keep booking this hotel.
