I have not been to stay at this place which I had booked for 2 nights from 1st April. The reason for this is that my wife was taken very seriously ill following surgery. We were due to stay at the hotel as my wife was due to be lecturing locally. On medical advice, we had no option but to... More

We arrived and there was no record of our booking. This was not the owners fault as they had tried to email us to let us know. Booking company had let us all down. So why write a review? If its a measure of a hotel how they handle a problem. Then this place is the pits!!! I'd rung 5... More

We were in Windermere for our first visit to the Lakes, to do some walking and a bit of water sports. The apartment is clean and comfortable and is within easy walking distance of the Lake and with wonderful walks all around. The landlady was very friendly, efficient (its self catering so one expects to leave the place clean!), and... More

We stayed for four nights in the middle of April. We were greated with a warm welcome by the owner who recommeded some lovely local restaurants. The apartment was clean and very comfortable. We are a family of two adults, 2 children and a baby. There was plenty of room 1 double, 1 twin and they supplied a travel cot.... More

The family and I (2 adults, 2 girls) were fortunate to spend 3 nights in Windermere at this apartment/hotel over the Easter Holidays. Enjoyed fabulous walks in the the truly gorgeous spring landscape, all easily accessible from the hotel. Would recommend the Lake District to anyone at this time of year. The place, with 2 bedrooms, shower and a bathroom... More

There are very mixed reviews on this site which didn't put us off and I'm glad. One night stay for 2 couples and a child. The apartment had 2 bedrooms (double & double/single) and a pull down in the lounge. Contrary to another review this is NOT a swingers/porn pad but great value if there are 3 couples sharing or...

I wish I have read the reviews from this site earlier and would have save ourselves from a horrible holiday. The trip to the Lakes would have been wonderful if not for the apartment. On day 1, we were greeted by the owner and she wasn't happy that we turned out with an extra person. Ok, we admitted it was... More

We have just returned from a short break to Windermere. It was booked as a last minute get-away so it was fairly difficult to book accomodation. After reading mixed reviews on the Oakdene we took the plunge and booked it anyway. We've had no complaints with the accomodationat all. It was clean, very comfortable, and in a good location. We...

We really can't understand some of the reviews... We stayed at Oakdene for a couple of nights and we could not fault a thing... The b&b is ideally located just a short walk from all the attractions that Bowness can offer. The owner was really nice and friendly. The room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was freshly cooked... More
