Windermere Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great breakfast, clean room, dog friendly and ideal location. If you like to walk only approx 25min into bowness or short drive if you prefer. Couldn't book an evening meal at check in as already booked up so may need to pre book before arrival. Overall very happy with our stay and would go back again."
