Staff, very polite and friendly, the location was superb, breakfast was plentiful and good choice,

The floorboards above room 104 need urgent attention, every time the people in the room above walk around you could hear everything, this didn’t help when they were early risers 6am

The location was excellent, walking distance to Windermere and Bowness. Staff very friendly, the receptionist was extremely knowledgeable about the local area and transport links. Excellent breakfast choice.

Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. We had several large cobwebs hanging from light fittings and around the wall/ceiling area. Shower screen needs replacing as it is very worn. The curtains were missing lots of hooks and so looked very messy and were difficult to pull together.

The room we had was very comfortable with an en-suite facility, which was okay but perhaps slightly on the small side and rather annoyingly there was no shelving for wash bags or soap/shampoo holder in the shower plus shower door did not close properly. The location is ideal for access to Windermere and Bowness which both boast good eating establishments. The Hotel is on a busy road although this was not a problem due to excellent double glazing. The site line onto the road when leaving the hotel car park was a slight problem and at this time of year there is a constant flow of pedestrians walking past the hotel entrance/exit which could impede a car departing the car park. In general the hotel is very comfortable with pleasant furnishings and a very pleasant dining room for breakfasts which are of a good standard and choice of menu. All the staff were exceptionally polite and very pleasant. In general we had a very enjoyable stay.

The hotel is starting to look a little tired in its decor, inside and out. There are not sufficient parking spaces for a hotel with 30 rooms. Although we did manage just to always park within the hotel grounds. We had a ground floor room which is a disadvantage in some respects due to other guests being above and the movement over a slightly creaky floor could be annoying at times.

We stopped for two nights to break up our motorcycle journey from Scotland to Cornwall, we enjoyed our stay so much we booked and stayed for 2 nights the following week on our return home. Good parking at the back of the property so our bike was secure and out of sight from the main road. Rooms are extremely clean, well decorated with very comfortable beds. The small bar is well priced, breakfast in the morning is excellent. Great location, 10 minute walk uphill to Windermere high Street or a 10/15 minute walk downhill to Bowness and Lake Windermere. We will definitely stay here again.

Nothing to dislike.

The property was well situated between the town of Windermere, and Bowness on Windermere. 10mins walk to Windermere,and 20mins to Bowness. Plenty to do,and eat and drink at reasonable prices. The hotel staff are very low key, it's like being in your own home. But a push of a button at reception, your immediately assisted in whatever your need. The breakfast is exceptional. The staff are constantly rotating around you,topping up your hot drinks or keeping the tables clear and clean. One member of staff Gabriella, deserves a special mention. Absolutely fantastic. Nothing is to much trouble, always polite and smiling. This is a lovely place to stay. It's set back off the main road into a pocket of trees all around, and a stream beside it.

This is so difficult to review. I say this because there are new owners apparently and my understanding is that they wish to improve the facilities. What did I like? without doubt the staff are really friendly, efficient and couldn’t do enough for you. Breakfast was superb, and the dining room is very welcoming albeit a little cold as the outside door was left open continually. There is a lovely bar area and the location of the hotel is good. Nearer to Windermere than Bo’ness but easily walkable for able bodied people.

The bedroom was quite tired and noise from upstairs rooms and next door room can be heard. Thankfully there were no early risers or party goers whilst we were there. Simply the age of the building causing the problem. The decor is tired throughout and the carpets are very, very well worn. This is what makes it difficult to review because you halve the potential for this to be a top hotel and if the new owners were to invest in refurbishment and I suspect they will, then it really will be a place worth returning to.

The guest house is well situated for Windermere and Bowness. Both within an easy walking of the property. The staff were very friendly and always seemed on hand if you had a problem.Breakfast room was well set out and the service and choice adequate for our needs.

Although not raised with the team, the mattress in our room could do with replacing. The bathroom and in particular the bath/shower needs an anti slip surface or mat. Also the daily servicing could be better as on 2 occasions the tray for the cups wasn’t cleaned and the bin wasn’t emptied, plus toilet roll wasn’t replaced.

The breakfast was delicious. The room was very clean, nice gifts in the room, plenty of drink sachets, chocolates and bathroom products. It was nice and warm in the room so we just switched radiator off, and opened window. It is a very good location. Plenty of parking. Very nice reception staff. This room could do with a little upgrade but we paid good price and most importantly it was very clean. We would definitely stop here again and recommend to others.

We stopped in a room with four poster bed but the room wasn’t big enough to take the four poster. It meant one of us couldn’t see the full screen on the tv as it was blocked by the post. For this room I would just have a normal bed. The wallpaper was coming off the wall near the window, small thing but with upgrade it would be great.

Easy check-in arranged time. Our room for 3 guests was spacious and warm with towels, toiletries, drinks/biscuits and a welcome chocolate. Shower was hot and spare hairdryer to use. Location central for Bowness on Windermere and Windermere within 5 minutes and plenty of restaurants / shops. Price of room for 2 nights was good and parking was not a problem. Staff helpful and breakfast choices were very good/sufficient.

Put room card request up on door for change of things but not sure if it fell on the floor as no change to used milk/tea/coffee and used toiletries. As we returned late from a day trip out we didn't bother chasing it up due to only having a 2 night stay however these should have been refreshed. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay at Woodlands, thank you.

Great location between Windermere and Bowness. Lovely property with lots of nice features. Great room, very comfortable. Splendid breakfast and friendly staff. Plenty of parking spaces. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Only a minor irritation for me was there wasn't an easily accessible plug by the dressing table mirror to plug the hairdryer in. They were both in use for the kettle and lamp and I would have had to pull the table away from the wall to remove a plug and plug the hairdryer in. I like to sit and see what I am doing. Otherwise everything was great!
