I have just returned from a wonderful weekend at The Ravensworth and would love to return. The hotel was spotless, rooms a great size with nice décor and equipped with everything you need and more. The bathroom was newly decorated to a very high standard - the shower was dreamy. The hotel is in a great location and Cheryl &... More

I have just returned home after a short break in Windemere. It was my first time at The Ravensworth and I was very reluctant to leave after having such a lovely stay there.For a single traveller it was such a bonus to find a hotel that caters for single occupancy. No added supplements to pay for! My room was small... More

My boyfriend and I have just left this guest house and we were delighted with the warm welcome from Mike. The location is fantastic with the centre just a short walk away. The breakfast was delicious and the staff very pleasant. We would definitely return.

We spent two nights at the Ravensworth. Everything was first rate and the location was near to the heart of Windermere for easy walking to restaurants and shopping. And, ample parking!! Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

This was my first experience travelling on my own (not working, not studying, just travelling). I was really stressed out from work and was looking for comfort and peace when I booked a room at the Ravensworth. And it never betrayed my expectations! The moment I arrived in the morning from an overnight trip from Russia to London, and then... More

You certainly embraced our beautiful countryside and attractions, along with our breakfasts. We look forward to seeing you both on your next visit to the UK.... More

Spent four of the five nights we had booked here last week. Location very good and convenient to centre, rail and bus services. Hosts very welcoming but our super-king sized room was tiny - hardly any hanging space in odd shaped eaves wardrobe and only space for jumpers was on windowsill. Unfortunately not enough room to swing a cat or... More

Thank you for your review. As you mentioned to us when checking out (a day early), we are sorry that you weren't completely satisfied with your stay, but we would like to reiterate a couple of points. You have said that there was no space for your clothes in the room, but the room does have a 6 drawer dresser... More

From the moment you arrive this is a relaxing experience in a quality guest house. Nick gets the kettle on and Cheryl's lemon drizzle cake was superb !! I could not fault the place, the rooms are spacious, the bed's comfortable and the breakfast varied and of high quality. We definitely fancy coming back for another visit.
