We stayed for a weekend at The Ro hotel and had a lovely time. The staff are all friendly and work so hard. The hotel it's self is slightly dated in some areas but that adds to it's charm. We also used the wellness centre and would definitely recommend it. It's really clean and modern with lots to offer. The hotel is is really central to windermere, we were able to walk everywhere easily. We'd definitely stay here again.

We stay here each year for the Great North Swim. One of the best in the area. Staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you. The hill up to the hotel is a killer if your fitness levels are not great and parking can be a small issue if it’s really busy. No Hash Browns at breakfast is unforgivable but that is the only slight on an otherwise good stay

A fabulous terrace overlooking Lake Windermere. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Room very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately dining experience was poor, slow and unedable food as the salt was eye watering!! Waiter and manager were very apologetic and gave excellent hospitality. Disappointing as if they had a different kitchen team we would have given it 5 stars.

Lovely hotel, very clean, friendly staff. Room was a bit dark due to full blinds and once open neighbouring properties could see in. Also they didn’t provide much in terms of keeping the light out when trying to sleep. Everything else great

Room pleasant, comfortable and quiet. Whole place seems to have been recently refurbished. Shame though that the badly stained carpet in the main corridor hasn’t been replace as this gives a very poor first impression. Overall would definately stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were lovely, very friendly & polite. We stayed in the balcony room, I think it was very expensive and over priced for what it was. The room had lots of stains on the walls, carpet & ceiling, the shower area needs redecorating and again walls and shower tub was stained. The balcony was ok, again it wasn’t cleaned, but the views were lovely. The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill but is in a nice location and close to everything. I think the hotel would definitely benefit from being redecorated as some of the hotel has peeling paint work, scuffed woodwork and peeling wall paper. I expected more for the money we paid, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Solid guest service in a comfy spot

My stay was great from the moment I got checked in by Persia who was lovely and even offered to see if the kitchen would prepare me something even though they had just closed. After my long journey from London it was a very good welcome. My room had a beautiful window with a view of the Lake and the mountains. The rest of the staff from the bar to the restaurant was really accommodating and kind. It’s within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, cinema and the lake of course.

Mixed thoughts regarding our stay. Welcome wasn’t gods at reception. Don’t agree with £7.50 parking per day. That wasn’t clear in advance. No housekeeping during the stay. Bathroom so tidy had to do lambada to get into the shower and burnt your backside on radiator as you passed. Comfy bed, large room. Nice breakfast. Central location. Fridge a nice addition.

Great hotel on lake Windermere - convenient to shopping and dining options plus walkable to the boats that taxi around the lake. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
