Lovely hotel, lovely building, lovely rooms. Staff and the owner were great, very chatty and offered lots of recommendations for meals out, walking routes, etc.
We were in the Windermere Love Suite which had an indoor hot tub - the 'room' was actually split across four rooms: bedroom, spa room (which was impressive), bathroom, TV room.
We managed to get an early February offer - don't know if I'd pay another £75 a night for full price, because it'd be hard to make best use of everything you get in just one nights stay. Also, there's so much to do in the local area, that you wouldn't want to confine yourself to the hotel for the whole stay, but this suite lures you in - it shows how good the hotel is, but it's almost too much of an experience!
The place is spotless, breakfast is great (especially the eggs benedict), the rooms are cosy and warm.
A couple of things - the rooms need better coffee! Sachets of bog-standard Nescafe when you're paying for a 'boutique experience' isn't great, and the kettle switch was a bit temperamental. Splitting hairs maybe, but we've been to lots of other places where they get things like that right.
Also, not sure the staff need a uniform - makes it a little less personal and independent. Again, very minor, and just our opinion, but just embrace being an independent hotel - that's what's so good about this place.
Overall, a great stay, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
