Hotels Near Cook House Gallery in Windermere

Very cozy little hotel, run by a Chinese couple, very friendly and welcoming. I studied here, came here for a holiday, and settled on this hotel. Although I feel that the house is more chronological, the real number is very well preserved, the decoration is exquisite, clean and tidy, and the details are great. It is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. The town is not big. It is also very convenient to go to other towns on foot or by bus. I booked a single room, the decoration made people feel comfortable and warm, and the hygiene was great. I must call for breakfast. I have been in the UK for a month. This is the best meal I have ever moved. Overall highly recommended

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cosy hotel, our room was very comfortable, shower was good as was the bath. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well both nights. It was very quiet. Breakfast was brought to your door in the morning at a time convenient for you and was really nice, choice of cereal, hot roll, yoghurt, juice, tea or coffee. There is a kettle with tea, coffee and milk in the room too. Wifi was good. Our host Jenny was super and very helpful with walks in the area. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here. Don't let the signs of building work outside put you off..it was not an issue at all.

This is a family hotel, I didn't notice it when I booked it. The room was clean and it was a 15-minute walk from the ferry in the town. The landlord had a lot of rules: for example, you can't bring food from the restaurant back to the room, put your shoes on the tray, check out at 10 o'clock, and you can't store your bag after checking out.

We've stayed countless numbers of times, the places is just so good! Set in the delightful little hamlet of Ings, it's a perfect place to stay/eat/drink if you are looking for a base near Windermere or you are just on your way to the Lake District. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, food is excellent and the on-site brewery produces some of the finest real ales in the Lakes. There are lovely views of the surrounding countryside and a charming brook runs along side the property. It's also a cosy place to visit in winter. Staff are always friendly and helpful and overall. It's great value for money. Dogs are also welcome inside. We'll be going back soon!

I especially recommend this hotel, a old English villa, which is newly renovated and British style. It is very clean and full of toiletries. It is 3 minutes away from the town by car. The room can see part of the lake view and the surrounding environment. Very good, I especially like their afternoon tea, the tea set is very exquisite, and I look at it with great care! Part of the breakfast is buffet, and the main meal is à la carte, with a large portion and enough to eat! If you have children staying with you, you must tell the hotel in advance that the children need to charge a fee of £28.50/piece/night! This fee includes breakfast and extra bed. If it is not stated in advance, the fee will still be charged, but there will be no extra bed! Expresso capsule coffee is provided free of charge in the room, which is my favorite. Those who like coffee are very surprised!

Back at YHA Hawkshead for a 3 night staying in a private room. We were in the Courtyard building. We used the self-catering kitchen and found the facilities to be great. The outdoor shower was a new addition - fun to take a shower in a corrugated tin shed in the outdoors! We had a few games of Pool in the games room one evening as well as a game of Scrabble in the courtyard lounge. It was lovely to encounter families with young children who were in the teepees and camping pods. We ourselves cycled from the hostel to Grizedale forest on one day and walked around Tarn Hows on another. Also got to swim in Coniston lake and in High Dam tarn. A great summer break in the Lakes!

The hotel is at the foot of the mountain with beautiful scenery. The staff is very good, very skilled in using translation software to communicate, and helped us carry the suitcases. The transportation here is not convenient enough. The 505 bus runs once an hour, so be sure to check the timetable in advance. There is a camper station nearby and paddling by the lake. It was Sunday, and it was a good place for nearby residents to drive here for leisure.

Came up for a meet up with friends for some walking on the surrounding fells. Arrived about four and the carpark was full and like an ice rink. Waited a few minutes and thankfully some day walkers on their last day came and took their cars away. Checked in and happily I was in the main house. The rest of the group was already there and so it was odd for drinks and food. It's been a few years since I've been to this hostel as my Wainwright journey has had me in different areas. Looks like the communal areas have had a fresh paint job which has brightened up the building. Had breakfast twice which was excellent. Made my own on the last morning and the smaller kitchen was in desperate need of a mixing bowl. Other than that no issues. All in all a great stay and I look forward to another visit in March. Hopefully room 7 is my room again on that visit.

Booked through ******* where this hotel had a rating of 9. I would put at nearer a 7. Rooms were ok….clean and comfortable enough. En-suite was nice as had been refurbed. Communal areas tired. Breakfast area and restaurant more like a cafe. I had the garlic mushrooms with lemon and time on bruschetta with a side salad, this was a starter as a main. Really weird flavor….really didn’t enjoy. Creamy garlic mushrooms would have been nicer….the bruschetta wasn’t toasted hardly and was soggy…£9. Hubby lasagne was nice £17. Noticed someone getting sausage and mash in a smallish bowl. Two sausages and a bit of mash….£19.50! 😳 Also saw on the menu a cheesecake dessert was £9.50!!! Expensive and average! Breakfast was awful….cold plates, barely cooked bacon and sausage….hash browns that you couldn’t even cut into….just not nice! Staff were friendly enough but on arrival our tv wasn’t working….husband went down twice to advise….as he was desperate to watch the football. Was told it would be 8pm (2 hours) before anyone could help. Was offered another room instead but when he went to look at it he said it was a bit grim dark and dingy so stayed where we were and managed to get tv going. Then we realised we weren’t given the WiFi password when checked in so back down to reception he went….more than a little annoyed by this time! Anyway overall as I said just bang average….just off a really busy road too so road noise from our room was bad too….the header photo on ******* had a water view so that’s where we thought it was set. Wouldn’t stay again…..would have rather spent my money elsewhere….costly average experience 👎
