good stay , staff very welcoming and helpful , room poor & not deluxe double bed but two singles pushed together, albeit still comfortable but not expected !
overall ok stay but would not choose the room again as somewhat dated & not correct bed
Good but expensive.
The spa steam room was not working during our 2 night stay. We were asked during the meal if we wanted water. The 1 litre still bottle cost 5.50 which was charged on departure, which seems excessive. The hotel was booked by our son as a special treat at 239 from your special web site. However on booking dot com the same night was 407. Make your own mind up if you think this is value for money.
Old England Hotel Windermere
The hotel was in excellent location. Everything good, except prices. 19 for a glass of house wine. Draft lager old and not nice. And to charge 20 per day parking is a bit of a cheek too. Also, if I had booked the break direct with hotel, it would have been 60 cheaper.
Beautiful location . But left disappointed
Restaurant was a let down & not value for money. Restaurant staff appeared stressed. Shower kept running hot then cold. Bed very comfortable. Balcony did not make best of the beautiful view as when seated the view was of the wall. Overall, we felt that the hotel was living off its location so will always attract custom, however, they could do so much more especially what they offer in the restaurant. Breakfast was mediocre and we only attended on 2 occasions out of 4 as it really was not worth getting out of bed for.
Disappointing
The check in process was not great, as we walked to our room their was a bad smell of old food in the corridor. The room was ok but calling it deluxe was not accurate. The bed was pretty comfortable though. We had hairs left in the shower and the lack of cleanliness was carried on in the restaurant where food stains were splashed up the window frame where we sat. The food was ok, though the portions were too small. The breakfast, though, was excellent. For just under 300 for one night, despite its location, we felt it was poor value for money.
Oldy Wordy Hotel tut doesn t quite hit the mark
This hotel is in a very good location, but is a little dated and tired in places, including the spa area. Comfortable rooms without a wow factor - pleasant but would not rush back, and value for money was pretty poor.
Hmm
The deluxe Double was a good size and the view of the lake was stunning, however the radiators were on, we had a oil filled radiator and had toask for another as it was very cold that day.
The bathroom was old like the building the shower watwr wasnt hot even though there was a warning it was. And not many toiletries which the word deluxe evoked and we hadnt packed any ti bring with us.
We told the receptionist that i was a vegetarian and tge meal included involved mainly cauliflower and i dont eat it she neglected to inform us there there was a vegetarian/vegan menu available which i was given at dinner. My partner chose the plant based burger which crumbled in her hands and the chips were so salty they were ineditble, my tempurer veg salad and chickpea sweet pot curry was nice.
I tried the spa the heated pool was bitter cold, sauna was unfortunately broken so not enjoyable.
All i all not the experience we had hoped for
