Windermere Manor Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Windermere

Windermere Manor Hotel has an indoor heated swimming pool open daily from 1 meter to 1.5 meters deep, with pool towels, sun loungers, and a shallow end for children. The hotel offers an electric vehicle charging station in the on-site car park, along with accessible parking spaces and a designated smoking area. Guests with disabilities find tactile signs, visual aids in Braille, grab rails in toilets, and emergency cords in bathrooms throughout the property.

The hotel offers family rooms that accommodate up to four guests, club king rooms, and superior double rooms in the annex with private patios and outdoor furniture. Accessible rooms are available with wet rooms, a shower chair, and handrails, though some guests reported that wheelchair accessibility in the annex is limited. All rooms include tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes, slippers, and a television, while some annex rooms have a Smeg coffee maker and a couch that converts to a second double bed.

The hotel's restaurant serves evening meals such as lamb shank and sirloin steak at reasonable prices, and the breakfast buffet includes full English options, pastries, and a self-serve coffee machine. Afternoon tea is served in the conservatory dining room overlooking the gardens, and the bar offers a selection of wines, champagnes, and draught ciders. Special diet menus are available upon request, and packed lunches can be prepared for day trips.

Windermere Manor is a dog-friendly hotel that allows well-behaved dogs in all guest rooms and public areas except the swimming pool. The property has a dedicated, securely fenced dog run with lighting for off-leash exercise at any time, and provides pet baskets and bowls upon request. Dogs are also welcome in the restaurant during meal times, and the hotel offers pet-friendly rooms with direct access to the grounds.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Lake Windermere, where guests can access water skiing, sailing, lake cruises, and swimming. Bowness-on-Windermere with shops and entertainment is a 30-minute walk, and Ambleside for dining and outdoor adventures is a short drive. A footpath behind the hotel leads past waterfalls and a beck down to Millerground beach on the lake shore.
