Great value for money and location perfect base for exploring Windermere. Free parking included, felt secure with keypad lock (no staff on site as far as we could tell) and room got nice and warm with radiator.

Shower pressure wasn’t great. Didn’t have enough toilet paper. Room wasn’t cleaned during 3 night stay.

A rare find in the whole of the lakes! This is a no pets & no kids' establishment with parking. Absolutely wonderful a complete haven of peace & tranquility! No kids screaming & no dogs barking - bloody marvellous! Excellent location within easy walking distance from the lake. The room was beautiful, clean and tidy. Nice big windows which you can open fully to allow a breeze in. Bed looked abit dodgy - but was really comfy (have had a back op '- so I am VERY wary of hotel beds) We would stay again and recommend it to friends. P.s. I wish the Proprietors would open a pub with no dogs & kids allowed.

We personally loved the keyless entry system - but if you want a chat with a person/ receptionist, then this place is not for you. We saw no staff. Parking at the hotel was marked for 3 cars. There is an overflow car park at another hotel behind Latimer House (ring the hotel for details).as it's not obvious or indicated on their car park.. This is a keyless entry system. The proprietors message you the code to get in....but note that it's a 4 digit code immediately followed by the *. If you don't put the * in you won't get in! We have the same system on our doors at home, so we knew. But we met 2 couples struggling to get in due to the *

Location is perfect, close to all bars, restaurants and pubs - literally could not be closer. The rooms are nice and clean. You don't need to carry a key with you everywhere as it's all done electronically via a code - meaning you don't need to bother to check in and our really - you just come and go. They have a hair-dryer but it's in a wardrobe under the pillows. Make sure you look there as I only found it when I didn't need it anymore haha

The shower is not very powerful, so if you have long hair and need to wash it, it takes a while. But it's okay to wash your body. The bed seems comfy but we both woke up with back-pain each day whereas we don't usually. It could be us being over 30 now!! :D

I recently stayed at Latimer House and overall had a pleasant experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated, spacious, and very comfortable. The bathroom was also modern and well-equipped, making our stay enjoyable. Latimer House offers a lovely stay with well-maintained rooms, and we would consider returning in the future.

However, there were a couple of issues during our visit. When returning to the building at night, we noticed a strong smell of what seemed to be weed on the bottom floor, which was quite unpleasant. Additionally, we were woken up at 8:30 AM by loud joinery work. While we understand that maintenance is necessary, a later start time—perhaps around 10 AM—would be more considerate for guests.

The location was perfect. Really close to the lake and the restaurants / Cafes/ bars / Shops etc. There was a self check-in which was easy and hassle free - no key or card for the property or your room to carry around whilst off sightseeing as you are given a personal code to enter the property and room. There was good Wi-Fi, plenty of tea and coffee and a lovely ensuite and walk in shower! Which was well needed after a rainy day out on the lake! We had view of the garden, and even though it rained, was still beautiful.

We stayed on the ground floor and had a terrace overlooking the garden, whilst beautiful and large, the sound of the busy road was sometimes a distraction from relaxation. This cannot be helped however, and did not ruin our stay one bit!

Our rooms were nice. Location is good - walkable from food and convenience stores.

We had requested for putting on the heating. The staff came over and confirmed that its on....but sadly it didnt work at all.

Latimer House is honestly a little gem! Me and my boyfriend stayed here last week and we couldn’t fault the place. The location is superb, only a 5/10 minute walk to the Lake, bars and restaurants. It is a self service hotel, the owner messaged the morning we were due to stay with a private code to get in and out of the property. As we were leaving, a lady (I didn’t catch her name) allowed us to store our luggage at the hotel as we had a later train. Rooms were lovely and clean. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nothing!

The location was perfect for us just a short walk down to the town, the room was lovely comfortable and clean. Very convenient having a key code for the building and for our room. Plenty of parking.

Personally it felt strange not to meet the hosts at all it was very much a zero contact experience - key code to enter the building and our room, no check in or check out in person, we didn't see another sole during our stay! I understand some people might prefer this, perhaps post-covid, for me it felt a little strange but not so much a complaint it didn't cause an issue or mean I would rate the stay any less. Very convenient to access the room. Maybe a note left in the room welcoming you etc would add a personal touch and then all bases covered.

very quiet location and very well decorated. exceptionally clean and modern. this property is at the top of a hill which was great for us but if you are not good with walks this isn't for you. It's a great location for those of us who enjoy a walk though. there is only tea and coffee facilities, takeaways are not permitted however there are Plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from only a couple of minutes walk away, in the evening plenty of pubs too, the food has been excellent wherever we went

I am not used to just dealing with technology to access a guest house, however it did work fine. You do only receive your digital entry and room code around an hour before check in so if you book through a travel agent, be sure the guest house has your email address as your travel agent will be contacted. There was an Australian couple whose travel agent was clearly not available due to time zones, so that caused bit of problem to start with for these guys as they were not sure how our phone numbers worked , but we helped them with that and the owners were very helpful indeed and access was immediate. don't be put off by the digital access it works really well to be honest.
