Just returned from one night at the Lonsdale and we all loved this hotel. It only has 10 bedrooms and a little bar, which is only open at weekends. The staff were very welcoming and the hotels key selling point has to be it's location - only a few mins walk from the centre of Bowness and it has a... More

My 2 daughters and I stayed here in December and what a lovely stay we had. The Hotel is more a guest house but a very cosy one. The lounge and bar area are lovely and we enjoyed a drink and a game of scrabble after a day out sightseeing in this lovely town and area. The room was comfortable... More

Thank you, thank you for making our honey moon so special. We really had the best stay. We were on a tight budget and we did not expect to stay somewhere as nice and as special as the Lonsdale for the price we paid. Staff amazing and so welcoming and helpful. Ask Andrew for advise on some great walks. Breakfast... More

After booking a holiday cottage in the middle of nowhere for the week in kentmere (big mistake!) we decided to have one night in bowness on Windermere that we had stumbled across the day before. It is so much better than Windermere itself, with lots of interesting and shops and restaurants. We picked Lonsdale house from trip advisor and gave... More

Even though it was blowing a gale, with rain and hail outside, the... More

Very basic hotel, nice and clean ...but not 4 star. Why? Old fashion bedrooms,very dated and very expensive for what it is. Noise old beds.no space for parking in the car park . We parked in the street. Noise lights in the toilets.room 5 with hotel storage inside. Basic breakfast.Sorry but not reason to be back. More

I booked this hotel for my Husband's birthday. We had a lake view room and the views were beautiful! The room was very well decorated, in a simple yet tasteful decor. The hotel as a whole was clean, tidy and very homely. The staff were fantastic, expecially Andrew! He gave up his time to chat to us about the lakes... More

After deliberating where to stay in the Lakes we finally decided on Lonsdale Hotel. What a great choice. From the moment we arrived and got a great welcome from the manager everything was perfect. The room was fantastic with great views and nice and clean. The breakfast was great and I could only manage half as there was to much... More
