Very disappointing and over priced lunch. Waited over half an hour for a cheese and pickle and ham and mustard sandwich and two drinks, all for the princely sum of £23.60. Poorly trained and snooty staff who didn't seem to want us riff raff day trippers off the lake cruiser. What a disappointment! A shame when the hotel itself is... More

Have just return from a 4 day stay with my Mother at this marvellous hotel. Nothing was to much trouble for any of the staff, the food was superb and service second to none. Originally went to the Lakeside as it was the only top class hotel on Windemere that had a twin bedded room with a walk in shower,... More

We have just returned from a 2 night stay arranged as a surprise for my wife’s 30th birthday. Stayed in one of the 'lodge suites' which are adjacent to the main hotel. They are spacious and modern with private patios and gardens right by the lake. The weather was fantastic which meant we were able to take advantage of the... More

Warm reception, met at entrance by car parking assistant (who unloaded luggage before taking and parking car for us), welcomed at reception with tour of hotel (a nice touch). Rooms clean and reasonably spacious. Delightful lunch in the conservatory, before relaxing in the pool, steam room and sauna which were modern and clean, followed by a delightful meal in the... More

We were returning home from Northumberland via the Lake District when we stumbled across the Lakeside Hotel. As it was mid afternoon and we were desperate for a bite to eat we chanced our luck that it was open to non residents and thankfully we were in luck. We were directed to the Lakeview Terrace and Conservatory by the friendly... More

Fabulous welcome including a tour of the hotel facilities, help with luggage etc. We had rooms at the back of the hotel which were lovely and spacious, double bed, settee, armchair, dressing table with chair, tv and hospitality tray. Lovely biscuits but rubbish long life milk, expect fresh would be provided if requested. Room was far too warm but once... More

We stayed in a lakeview room; that is me, the Mrs, and our 9 year old daughter. The room, the staff, the location simply wonderful. Restaurants are top class. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Oh yes! More

This was our second stay at the Lakeside, we visited with family for our wedding anniversary and the hotel was better than I originally remembered it. The location is first class, even the rooms to the rear of the hotel have a fantastic outlook and the whole area is very peaceful and tranquil. Service throughout the hotel was impeccable and...

Lovely country hotel. Lots of relaxed seating areas, nice ambiance. Bedroom was lovely with lake views and a 4 poster bed and very comfortable and spacious. Service was impecable, nothing was too much trouble and both dinner and breakfast were served quickly. Breakfast was very good quality. Spa was also very nice with a good size pool which was wide...
