"The stay experience was beyond my expectation. The room was not big, but it was comfortable and clean. The most surprising thing was the English breakfast set provided on the second day. I could quietly bask in the sun in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and slowly enjoy the English breakfast tea. It felt like time slowed down."

"The view was stunning. We booked a penthouse family suite. The food was delicious and affordable. The breakfast was also very varied. The service was excellent. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely stay a few more nights next time I have time."

"Pleasant stay very helpful when booking also."

"Me and wife had a opportunity to have a night away after having child free and no work commitments for the weekend so we decided to have a last minute night away in the lake district. Applegarth has always been on a must visit of mine for a while being on a must stay list for the past few years with there reviews they have had and I must say we were not disappointed! We booked a 1 night last minute stay in Luxury Room 17. We had arranged a early check in, late check out through there website which I would highly recommend. We arrived to be greeted by Suzanne with a warm welcome. The hotel is a truly family run hotel and you are greeted like family friend which is a lovely touch. She explained where are room was and any questions or recommendations she was happy to advise, she also invited us to dine in the onsite restaurant but was not pushy with the invite either. Once we got to are room we were really impressed spotless and well thought out with local complementary products (tea, coffee, toiletries and chocolate). The room sports a super king bed which provided one of the best night sleep I've had as I don't sleep very well in hotels but no complaints with this one. The bathroom has a waterfall shower above the double spar bath which made good use of a narrow bathroom layout. We will be rebooking once we get a childfree/work free weekend planned but will be stay for longer as we really enjoyed our stay!!"

"The location is very convenient, especially if you are visiting Windermere and the surrounding Lake District area. The room was clean and comfortable, and overall the stay was pleasant. One thing I really liked was that breakfast was included and you could order from the breakfast menu without paying extra. The food was good and it felt more substantial than a very basic hotel breakfast. However, it is made to order rather than a buffet, so you do need to allow enough time in the morning. If you have an early train or a tight schedule, breakfast can feel a little rushed because you have to wait for the food to be prepared and served. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The only slight inconvenience was that early check-in was quite difficult, so if you arrive before the official check-in time, it is better not to rely on being able to get into the room early. The location, cleanliness and overall atmosphere were all very good, and the property has a nice traditional character. For a short stay in Windermere, I think it is a very solid choice. I would be happy to stay here again, especially if I had a more relaxed schedule in the morning."

"Very convenient location. There are cute rabbits in the garden. Breakfast is decent."

"Lovely stay will be 10x better when it’s all finished"

"The room/service/food/view are all great"

"The property and the ambience is lovely. The view from the restaurant garden is very pleasant and beautiful. The room size, bathroom size and amenities were good. We faced 1 major problem to be precise which made us a bit sore. Cleanliness - the room was clean except for the carpet. It didn’t feel like it was vacuumed. There was probably a pet staying in that room before us and there was a lot of hair on the carpet. I understand it is a pet friendly property and I have absolutely no problem with that. But cleaning the room properly before the next checkin is a basic expectation. We couldn’t step on the floor without our feet being covered with hair. Apart from that, everything else was very good. Breakfast was also good and the customer service was very polite and hospitable as well."
