after going for my daugters birthday, the man who owns the hotel was very friendly who treated you lovley trying to make conversation in every way. we were treated as individuals and shown are own parking. although the room was slightly dark the whole place was recently referbished and you could tell. they had a pool that they shared with... more

We stayed for 1 week, the people, place and food were fantastic. From the minute i spoke to Amy to book our trip, i had a lovely feeling from her, which continued through our stay. It is a lovely pleasent walk to the lake from hotel and lots to see. The room was kept lovely and clean during our stay.... more

I will make it clear from the start; we checked in at this hotel, moved to 2 different rooms, were shown 3 other rooms, but promptly checked out with a full refund and a bottle of champagne from the management with their apologies. It is rated as a 5* guest house. Take my advice, there are far better ones within... more

Whilst not wishing to unduly criticise the hotel I would not rate the actual premises as five star and found nothing to distinguish it from four or even some good three star hotels. The only item that would give it as five star would be the free use of a local leisure club. The room we reserved was designated as... more

After lots of research (trust me I'm fussy!) I was absolutely delighted with my choice as the location was perfect - about half way on the short road between the two villages of Bowness and Windermeere (which are approximately a casual 10 minute stroll in either direction) The rooms were spotlessly clean and very recently modernised. The breakfast was freshly... more

This is the second time we have stayed at the Woodlands Guest House. The rooms are so comfortable and clean, the decor is Fabulous and the food is to die for! We were booked for just one night but had such a brilliant time (despite the rain fall!!) we stayed for another night as the weather totally changed, it was... more

Booked as a last minute break, The Woodlands did not disappoint. We received the warmest of welcomes which included lots of information about things to do and places to visit during our stay, this insider knowledge proving to be invaluable. The proprietors were friendly and amiable without being intrusive, the hotel was conveniently located both enabling easy walks into Bowness... more

We arrived at the 'Woodlands hotel' after driving around for an hour trying to find a hotel that could accommodate 3 walk ins! we had travelled down from 'Grentna Green having an appalling stay there with no sleep for 3 nights due to terrible beds.and thought we would enjoy a couple of days in the Lakes on the way back... more

This bed and breakfast is in a great location between Bowness and Windermere with both being easily walkable. The host provides a warm and cheery welcome with great information on local pubs and restaurants. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and very tasty. However, the rooms themselves do not quite live up to five star expectations - although clean,... more
