The Glenburn Hotel in Windermere was certainly a very good find on the internet. The staff running the hotel in the absence of the proprietors were very friendly, courteous, extremely helpful and impressively efficient. Our compliments to the Chef whose delightful and mouth watering meals were hard to resist. The service and presentatiion of meals was excellent and there was... More

We made a last minute decision to go to Windermere for a short break and couldn't really have picked a better hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They couldn't do enough quite frankly as we made last minute dinner reservations at the hotel, extended our stay twice and asked for apple juice in addition to orange every morning.... More

Excellent place to stay and certainly worth more than it's a current 2 star rating. Double Room at the front of the hotel all well sound proofed and very comfortable indeed. Evening meal was excellent and the breakfast was exactly what you would expect in a nice country hotel. This is well worth a visit if the Lakes are your... More

Thank you for this review. Unfortunately stars and ratings are a sore point with The Glenburn. Criteria has changed over the last couple of years and 2* is the highest rating we can achieve as a "small hotel" which is probably the equivalent to a 4* guest house. Hopefully one day they will relax the rules along with the do's... More

Although we weren't staying at the hotel (we were next door in a B & B) we ate there on 2 consecutive nights the food and the service were excellent and very reasonably priced, the warm friendly atmosphere along with the superb food means we will definitely be back - thoroughly recommend the homemade sticky toffee pudding its the best...

For the first time for many years, I decided to take a break away on my own. Having not long retired, this was quite a step to take! However, I should not have worried. The hotel room ( a double) was very clean and beautifully decorated, the en-suite modern and clean. Jackie, the owner, is very friendly, as are Martha... More

Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to have the you stay at the Glenburn. We have lots of single guests and we realise that sometimes sitting alone in a restaurant is difficult for some so we do our best to make it a relaxed visit. I will pass your comments to the girls.

We stayed at the Glenburn Hotel for four nights in May - chosen after reading the positive reviews on Trip Advisor and having a central location between Windermere and Bowness. I also liked the idea of the hotel having its own restaurant just in case the weather was not great! I'd booked a small standard double room via Booking.com and... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Good news .. All the TV's are being replaced with 26" & 32" Digital TV's this coming week so any hazy pictures should disappear.

The Glenburn Hotel is just old fashioned in everything except its pricing. A dark room (N°14) with a tiny bathroom. No soap tray in the shower, low water pressure and tiny shampoo and gel tubes of an unheard-of brand (containing parabens). Anti theft plastic coathangers, no blackout curtains, no wifi in the rooms, frying oil smells wafting in through the... More

Thank you for this review I am so pleased Trip Advisor allow us to respond.

The room was spacious, clean & comfortable with modern decor & a spa-bath in the ensuite. The food was of high quality, well prepared & presented & the staff were particularly helpful & friendly.
