A delightful Inn overlooking the lake. We were assigned a lake view room which was very comfortable (#3, Brontë). The staff was helpful and friendly. They were also attending to a small wedding, but we felt valued and welcome.

Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !!

While booking we selected a room (215 sqft) which can fit a couch(sofa bed) the room was barely large enough to open a suitcase anywhere but the bed. The hairdryer had pre-Covid dust, which we have to clean as nobody bothered responding ( contacted reception after 7am, which is within the operating hours). Had to fix the shower which just needed tightening up a valve, but again no one in the property seems to care. I would go ahead and say that I want a complete refund.

Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite.

I only stopped for 1 night, Saturday 10th June, the staff were very helpful but had to ring the desk bell a number of times to get there attention, waited in excess of 15 minutes. Since I couldn't get into my room till 3pm, which is the norm, I asked if I could leave my luggage and asked if someone would take my luggage to my room since I had to leave the hotel at 1pm for a wedding reception at another nearby venue. I was a bit disappointed when I arrived back at the hotel, around 11pm, to find my luggage was still left next to the reception desk and had not been taken to my room as I asked and I was assured would happen. Overall my experience was good and yes, I would stay at the Merewood Country House again.

Beautiful location, lovely house, tasty foods, clean room, I really recommend to book a lake view room. This choice was the best option for my travel in the UK. The nearest bus stop is “Blockhole Visitor Centre“, but I needed to go up hill road.

Disappointed stay
Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and style great location overlooking the lake. Room was smelly with what I would say was Cat urine smell. Toilet had skid marks in bottom. We booked into the rest so but as there was a small wedding on menu was a pub grill not what we wanted but food (fish n chips) was lovely. We had a room on the top floor facing the back so it was not what we had in mind.

Merewood country hotel lovely little hotel
Small hotel in the heart of the Lake District , the rooms at the front have a wonderful view of lake Windermere absolutely stunning . The hotel is clean and well run , nothing was too much trouble. A comfortable well stocked bar, sitting room & library with nice big comfy armchairs overlooking the lake The breakfast was delicious there was a very varied menu to choose from and also full range of cereals fruit and pastries . . 4 different juices Tea & Coffee . We opted for the full English which was delicious with plenty of toast. . All served by cheerful helpful staff in the lovely grill room that can also be privately hired for small weddings. The bacon and sausage were locally sourced and were lovely and a choice of eggs mushrooms tomatoes black pudding and beans . The room was clean and well laid out but some of the furniture has seen better days and could do with being updated . Bathroom again was clean with lovely big fluffy towels and nice toiletries were provided ,but there were a couple of broken tiles. . The over bath shower was not very powerful and the shower head was a bit floppy. Overall a lovely hotel and really good value for money in this part of the Lake District. I would definitely stay here again

The location of the Merewood is something our guests often comment on and I am pleased you enjoyed this also.

A beautiful hotel with stunning interiors lots of character and gorgeous views over the hills. Positives : great location, there is plenty of parking space you can take dogs, rooms are immaculate and the staff are friendly can't do enough for you. Good choice of Continental food, cereals and fruit in a morning. Negatives : breakfast staff need to have more attention to detail when delivering guests orders, while we were there some guests got there drinks after there meal was served not before when they first sat down and another couple were served there main meal before they had there starters. Big negative : breakfast hot food (bacon, sausage etc) wasn't hot it was just about warm.

This hotel was probably one of the best hotels we've stayed in and we really enjoyed our trip. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed breakfast every morning, two nights of dinner and an afternoon tea. Food, despite being on the pricey side, is reflected in the quality. Lovely bacon for breakfast and probably the best steak and ale pie I've ever had. The rooms were very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. I even tried to get one of the mattresses back home but sadly they're only for businesses! Each day if you were out of amenities you just filled in a form and found them hanging on your door when you returned later that day. We slept so well and the rooms are so well soundproofed we couldn't hear those below or next to us. We had a lovely stay and were very sad to leave.
