The hotels location overlooking the lake is truly out of this World with such a view it is truly memorable. The accommodation was exceptional with a front facing room overlooking the lake and mountains beyond for which we were blessed with clear skies and sunshine. The staff were very attentive and gave excellent service for which nothing seemed too much trouble. The food was truly some of the best I have had in my many travels and truly recommend it even for the experience. A very worthy establishment to visit and out thanks to all concerned.

Stunning location, the drive up to the hotel is really magnificent as is the view from the terrace where we had a hot pot of coffee and then pre dinner drinks. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming, they couldn't do enough for us. As it was our Anniversary, we were given an upgrade to a 4 poster room on arrival and there was a card and a gorgeous box of chocolates in the room. Dinner was great and breakfast was exceptional - ordered at the table and served beautifully. The hotel is beautiful, luxurious and well cared for.

Breakfast was outstanding. So much choice. We ordered evening meals at The Grill as the food was so delicious and the service was excellent. Loved sitting by the fire and relaxing. The room was spacious with a beautiful bathroom and enormous bed.

A good (or even great) hotel stay is made of many things; comfort, facilities, location, ambience, food...but all those elements can be ruined if the staff aren't up to the job. The staff here are exceptional; friendly without being in-your-face, quietly efficient, able to deliver. As we walked in there was a beautiful welcoming fire burning in the hallway hearth, which, on a rainy Cumbrian day was just what we needed. Then of course there's the location; up a hill, with a lovely view of Lake Windermere; perfectly placed for all excursions. Three minutes away is the Windermere Jetty Museum, which runs lake trips from March on vintage steamboats, and has a cafe with a fantastic view and great food too, so if you want a cup of tea or something more substantial on your travels, make that a date, too. Do book breakfast at the Merewood, as there's a great choice and we tried a few of the options, all of which were lovely. So as you can guess, this is a two-thumbs-up recommendation.
