Lodging in Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria

“Lovely location and very quiet due to the trees and well maintained garden that surrounds the hotel. Bed was very comfortable with high quality linens and duvet. Breakfast offered a good selection of fruits and cereals with excellent cooked options. Public areas were really pleasant and offer a great view of the garden. Very close to Bowness with good shops and some excellent bars and restaurants. The only negative comment….the bedrooms could do with a little maintenance. Only saw two but repainting and re carpeting would improve things. Really appreciated the friendly and welcoming staff.”

“WOW what a hotel. If you can definitely a place to stay if visiting the lakes. The hotel, staff and grounds are fantastic. With the Henrock restaurant in the hotel if you want to stay and dine in. Make sure you visit the viewing points around the grounds and the ”

“I'm posting this in November.- Stayed for 2 nights in the annex- large, spacious, clean and comfortable room with an elevated view to the lake.- Need to book a table at peak times even now. - Maybe different in summer as there is an excellent outdoor area with plenty of tables (all look recently renewed). These are on a tiered terrace and no doubt will be superb in summer catching sun for much of the day. Nice for a couple of refreshments of choice.The new menu started on the day we arrived, and given that all the tables were taken, the staff did a great job of getting meals out in reasonable time. Importantly, the food we were served had clearly not spent too much time on a heated pass from the kitchen.The fact that the Angel is dog friendly was important to us, but the few dogs in there were well behaved, and there were no issues.- A couple of real ales on the go. Don't know if they are fixed and don't change, but the pale was very good.-Last but not least, all the staff were very helpful and friendly, without exception.Shout out for Ann- Marie, who was great from start to finish with good humour- even dealing professionally with the toaster when some numpty stuck a croissant into the toaster and......flames etc.I definitely recommend it.- Will be back here soon.”
