The Dozy Deer, hotel in Windermere

The Dozy Deer - a newly renovated guest house - is just a short walk from Windermere centre. The rooms feature en suite bathrooms. No breakfast included.

We liked that there was very easy instructions on how to use the keys, when the dining area was available and check in and out times. It was also really good that Beth came straight back to us with any queries.

St John's Lodge incl off-site leisure club, hotel in Windermere

St John's Lodge is an award-winning guest house situated between Windermere village and the Lake at Bowness Bay.

The breakfasts were excellent with the widest choice of food I have ever experienced. They were well worth the Award they had received. There was an abundance of fresh fruit which was very much appreciated in the cold month of January. The staff and host were very friendly, obliging and the service was prompt. The Guest House including the bedrooms were spotless. The communal for guests on the ground floor was an added extra which was also appreciated. The location was ideal for walking and travelling by car to see everything the Lake District has to offer.The location of the Guest House itself was very central with easy access to Windermere and Bowness.

    Jerichos Boutique is a beautifully decorated and furnished house. It is spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy, free on site parking is a bonus and is in a nice quiet street. Great location- only a 2 minute walk to Windermere Train station, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a great breakfast. It is a 20-30 min walk down to Bowness lake and shops. Had a lovely 2 night stay. I Would definately recommend without hesitation.

    location is great. walking distance to both Windermere and Bowness. Boutique property and the room for three was really spacious and not a bed adjusted very clean and stocked with all essentials. The name 'guest house' is a misnomer more like a boutique 4 star property. the breakfast was prepared fresh and to your needs Philips and Trevor who own and run this are great hosts . They welcome you and show you around and make you feel at home i also particularly liked the fragrance of the handwash 😊

    From the minute we arrived Debbie and Eliot were great hosts. The guest house was very clean and the room was spotless, the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and kept us going all day. Great location and easy access to all the main places in the lakes. Great weekend and the Watermill Inn pub is 200 yards and had a fantastic night out there.
