The pictures and reviews of this B&B were great so I was shocked when I saw the room. It was very small, cracks all over the walls, stains all over the carpet and the door to the room didnt block out a sound-I could hear everything from next door. We didnt even unpack but had to check out. The lady... More

Dear Customer It is a shame you have commented on this site so disapprovingly about our property and service. Our member of staff does remember you leaving and at the time had asked if there was a problem, you responded by saying “no, we don’t want to stay here, we had wanted a 5 star property and you are not...

This is a lovely B&B. My room was on the top floor and looked out over a park. The bed was extremely comfortable and although the bathroom was small, it was perfectly adequate, with plenty of hot water. Breakfasts were excellent. The B&B is a very short walk into Windermere and about 20 mins on foot to Bowness. The owners... More

We had the junior suit (I think). Room 1 with both a walk-in shower and a large bath tub and twin wash basins! Superb four-poster bed although the pillows could be a little bigger and better. Great breakfast served by excellent staff. A short walk to village and 2 minute drive to Bowness where you will find tonnes of resturants.... More

This was our first trip to the Lake District and I booked this hotel only a few days beforehand, their web-site gives a good overview of the rooms and facilities and is easy to use to make a booking. I decided to call direct to make a reservation as I wanted to see if they could offer us a room... More

This is the second year that I have stayed in the Ellerthwaite Lodge. The booking service is trouble free, which I did over the telephone. They also have a well set up web site showing the rooms and public areas. The rooms are clean, tidy and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. There is... More

I was lucky enough to be staying at Ellerthwaite Lodge for the weekend as part of a corporate incentive weekend. I can't thank the staff enough for looking after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they did everything possible to ensure the weekend went without a hitch. I was lucky enough to see most of... More

My husband and I stayed two nights in this lodge in Windermere. It was close to the shops in town but a 20 minute walk downhill to the actual lake, it was fine going downhill but back up was a bit of a treck. Most people go to the lakes to go on walks but we were only in the... More
