Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lakes Lodge Windermere is frequently praised for its excellent location, very close to the train station and the town's information center. The rooms are spacious, offering great value, and many guests appreciate the generous English breakfast served in the mornings. Some guests have found the decor a bit outdated. Being within walking distance to Windermere Lake, or a short bus ride away, is another plus for many visitors.

Solid Stay Near the Station

clean roomwarm roomhandy parkinggood bacon
I stayed one night in a clean, warm room. Parking was available. I found that very handy. The breakfast included good bacon, and it provided lots of energy. The location provided easy access to both the train station and other shops.
The room was a bit small. This made it somewhat cramped.

Excellent Breakfast and Convenient Location!

comfortable bedkind staffglowing light
I appreciated the very kind staff. They allowed us to leave our suitcase both on arrival and before leaving. The room featured a large, comfortable bed, really lovely. The breakfast was amazing!!! It prepared us for the whole day.
The light in my room did not fully turn off. It glowed even when switched off, so it was hard to sleep well.
