We spent three nights and we were in room 17. It is a very large room with a big double bed, plenty of space around the bed, a nice dressing table area and a lovely tiled bathroom. The bathroom had a double spa bath, which was great as you could watch the TV built in at the end of the bath as well. The bar area was very chic and full of comfortable seating areas. The breakfast area was equally as impressive as it overlooked from a high high vantage point the local park and scenery which would be great at any time of the year. The breakfasts were excellent (good work Chef!) and it was nice to see a personal service to our table instead of the typical à la carte used by many other hotels. Ample parking on site and free of charge. It was an easy walk into a town where you could find an array of restaurants and bars as well as local shops, and it was a longer walk of around 20 to 25 minutes into Bowness and to see the facilities and shops and attractions on offer down at Lake Windermere. In addition we were able to reach by car within 30 minutes the towns of Ambleside and further on Grassmere where we would also recommend people take a look.

Nothing.

This is a really nice hotel with the main building maintaining plenty of character with some original features kept. The hotel would have got top scores across the board but for the 1st room we booked in the main hotel being really small, clean and tidy and comfortable but really small. We were fortunate enough to be able to pay an upgrade fee half way through our weeks stay and move across the road to one of the hot tub suites on offer at this hotel. The extra room and the hot tub were much needed therapy for my arthritis !! The staff were very helpful and accommodating in arranging this for us and were overall excellent in the way in which they conducted themselves and went about they're day to day business. The room service was excellent too with the room (and later the suite) being cleaned every day to a very high standard. The hotel also houses a very nice and friendly bar area which I found very relaxing with great service. Although we eat out every night of our stay in Windermere at the many eateries Windermere has to offer on the high street just a 2 minute walk from the hotel, the restaurant was lovely and did serve up a wonderful selection of food for breakfast and everything cooked to a very high standard. One of the main things my partner and I needed from this weeks break was to have a nice relaxing, stress free week away from our every day life and re charge the batteries so to speak. This hotel and the overall experience provided from the staff gave us exactly that and was everything we needed from this break. Will definitely be looking to return in the not too distant future to this hotel and fully book the hot tub suite next time.

The 1st room being really small as mentioned above

Lovely old building with stained glass windows and wooden panelling which is well maintained with tasteful new decor and furnishings. The room was spacious with a separate sitting area. A good breakfast was included with plenty of choice. On site parking is available.

Only suggestions as we were very happy with our stay. It would have been better to have the TV in the sitting area rather than the bedroom as we had to sit on the bed to watch TV when there was a separate sitting area which would have been a better location. There wasn’t much drawer space which is a shame as there was plenty of room for a small set of drawers or a shelf within the wardrobe. There was plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe.

The hotel was beautiful. Room was great, nicely decorated & the bed was so comfy. The staff were all very pleasant, nice, friendly, helpful, curtious and polite. A special mention to Ella who served us at breakfast. She was very welcoming with a smiling face and ensured we had what we needed and ordered. The breakfast actually was excellent, really set us up for the day ahead. Everybody we came into contact with staff wise at hotel was very professional.

Only negative comment was the lack of a plug socket near any of the mirrors to dry/do hair. Apart from this the room was extremely cosy comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Just returned from a lovely chilled weekend at the Applegarth. We had the Popper Hot Tub suite which is modern, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is massive which included walk in shower, large bath including a TV screen. Bedroom area also spacious with a sep small lounge area. Mood light setting options throughout. The hot tub area is completely private with a patio garden area which would be lovely in the summer. Breakfast excellent various options all served by the welcoming staff. Ideal location at the top end of Windermere which allows for a nice walk down to Bo'ness end. All in all a nice weekend break. Would recommend.

Only one small gripe was the cocktail I had. Didn't think this was of standard to charge 12quid in comparison to the cocktails made elsewhere for the same cost but we did go during happy hour but tasted pre made rather than a fresh mojito.

Very comfortable beds and wonderfully quiet rooms. We really value silence when it's time for sleep and we had absolutely no disturbances whatsoever. The breakfasts were of an excellent quality and the waiting staff were always polite and made us feel very welcome. It was honestly a 10/10 experience for us and we'd love to come back.

The only criticisms I can possibly think of, if you forced me to pick anything, was that one plant in our room appeared to have gone mouldy. The other consideration was that the bedside lamp in our room had a very large base unit and so there wasn't much room for setting things by your bed. These are completely negligible however given the overall experience.

The Applegarth is exceptional you wouldn’t believe the suite we stayed in had been used before it was immaculate like brand new. The staff and owners went above and beyond my expectations to make our stay as perfect as it could be. We had difficulty arranging a taxi to a bar and the lovely owners wife took us in her own car and dropped us right at the bar. I really can’t wait for my next visit. If you like luxury definitely try this place I would rate it six stars if I could. It it immaculate.

The weather haha.

Applegarth Villa Hotel is located in a beautiful and central location in Windermere. The suite ‘Great How’, which we stayed in was extremely luxurious, including a hot tub on the balcony, a SPA bath with TV, a lounge area with TV, a comfortable and cosy bedroom with TV, two balconies with views of the Windermere mountains and many other facilities. The restaurant and bar facilities were also excellent, with a wide selection of delicious ‘gluten free’ options for breakfast and dinner.

Beautiful hotel, just seconds from the town centre, very calm and quiet. Staff were really lovely, breakfast was fantastic 👌

From the moment we arrived they made us feel so welcome. They put all their customers first. The staff are all so lovely and very friendly and welcoming. The chef wow from the breakfast to the evening meal was absolutely sensational. Windermere is right on the doorstep and Bowness is about a 15/20min walk but it’s all a straight road so goes really quickly. The room (Room 7) we stayed in was spotless and it was lovely and warm considering we had snow fall.
