Windermere Hotels

The location was excellent a couple of minutes from the steam boat jetty, and the building and rooms were spacious. The leisure centre was very good. The breakfast was completely substandard given the quality of the hotel. Limited choice, no fresh fruit despite being there at the hight of the summer and the cooked breakfast was very greasy (we were unable to eat it). Also, the room had few extras: e.g. we had to ask for tissues, there was nothing in the bathroom except for shampoo and shower gel. The Hotel obviously has a problem with staff turnover, since some were obviously inexperienced. Even though the rate was heavily discounted, we did not feel it represented good value for money. It is a shame, because with a little extra attention to detail and a decent breakfast the hotel could be really first class.

The setting was very picturesque which complimented the excellent bar and terracing areas. The room was very clean. Ample car parking facilities. The breakfast service seemed much improved from a previous visit. The bath water was luke warm. A duvet would be much prefered to sheets.

The communal areas of the hotel were very atractive, the staff were very helpful and the view of Windermere from the hotel were beautiful. The hotel looks very old fashioned from the road, I was wishing I had booked somewhere else after seeing it for the first time, however this changed once we got inside. The room we were in had extremely thin walls, we could here everything in the next room. I also hadn't realised how far away from the town the hotel was, and as the bus service is not great around the hotel area (a fact that is mentioned in the info pack in the hotel room) it meant taking the car out each day and paying a small fortune in the car parks.

Please write at least 15 words , big rooms, lovley location, helpfull staff. Poor TV no bbc1 during my stay missed my fav program, high standerds but I was very surpriesd to see wallpaper falling of the wall at room 54

staff were very good and it is in a good location.

Pleasant staff, the furnishing were nice. The bed was really uncomfortable: I could feel every spring in the mattress. The establishment presents itself as a 4* (and charges correspondingly) so an even an average bed is a reasonable expectation. I think there may also have been mold growing on the bathroom ceiling where there had been some water damage that had never been properly fixed. Just not what I'd really expect for the money paid, even in a somewhat pricey district.

Clean, comfortable room. Friendly owner. Fairly good breakfast. Bathroom was quite small.

Very friendly and helpful proprietor. Good breakfast rooms clean and tidy.

staff very helpful, good breakfast The put me up bed was very uncomfortable. Could have done with a bar area

location no resturant

The staff were absolutely delightful and very helpful. Our room was compact but comfortable (we only went for the cheaper double room optional so perfectly acceptable for the money we spent)... The rain!

Generally all was good but far too overpriced for what was available The price

very nice decor comfortable furnishings and friendly staff, a bonus as the leisure passes for use at nearby hotel with leisure/spa facilities Room to front of hotel was noisy, traffic noise and from hotel guests coming in and out and chatting to staff on reception ! also no blinds/nets at the window which was at ground level on a main road, so very little privacy afforded in that particular room

The staff, the ease of access, to all the surrounding activities that are available shame the weather was not better but still a very enjoyable time

This is not a hotel but a bed and breakfast, the spa facilties are at hotel 15 minutes away, and that hotel is probably cheaper. The Howbreck is vastly overpriced.

the staff at st johns lodge was fantastic very polite and helpful . they catered for just about everyone on the breakfast menu and you could really fill up and have as much as you wished . cleanliness of the bathroom was very good spotless . and a very goodnights sleep parking wasn't great but you could park on the side street .and the walls are a little thin and the bathrooms very narrow but shouldn't be off putting

Good central location. Comfortable clean room. Great breakfast. Helpful staff. A very enjoyable stay.

The staff were delightful (very helpful and full of character), The meals were mouth watering and well proportioned (you must try the tomato soup) The room was well thought out, and the location was beautiful (even in the rain). I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Broad Oaks again. My only niggle was to do with some minor decoration flaws. Our toilet roll holder needed another screw to secure it and the spa bath soaked the floor when the shower head was in use. Really very minor flaws
