Windermere, England hotel rooms at the Independent

"Amazing service, beautiful room, excellent situation although clearly some building work going on we had a brilliant experience will book for autumn. No problems"

"Warm comfortable room in lovely hotel that is walking distance from lake. House was where Beatrix Potter took holidays & she eventually bought it for her mother. Love the whimsical touches such as carpets & wallpaper. Easy private parking included. Stairs to rooms on first & second floors but staff help with luggage if needed. Dinner & breakfast at the hotel restaurant were good."

"Great hotel and location, welcoming staff that couldnt do enough for you. Will definately revisit"

"The room was a disappointment. I was expecting a 4 star hotel. The room was barely 3 and the bathroom about 2. A very dated hotel that was more of a motel. Breakfast was ok but not great. Would not stay again."

"We throughly enjoyed our stay at Holly Lodge. Had a lovely large room with views along the street. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend."

"Very nice hotel, all the staff we dealt with were very polite and friendly. The cooked breakfast was cooked fresh, we had one evening meal which was very nice. The only downside was that the Spa was being renovated, I would definitely use this hotel again."

"Lovely clean room, staff very friendly and helpful. Pet friendly, with own dog walking area. Lovely breakfast. A lovely stay in a lovely place."

"Staff were great and professional and hard working. The Seduction room was lovely, modern and really clean . Location is very central and we got a lovely view of the lake which we didnt expect."

"The staff were excellent, so friendly and it is an excellent place to bring your dog with you. The breakfasts and evening meals were delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We will definitely return. "
