Cedar Manor is in the heart of the Lake District, a short walk from Windermere's shops, cafes and restaurants. It is 600 metres from Windermere Rail Station and a 10-minute walk from the lake.

We loved the hospitality. The Cedar Manor is family run and it really shows as the hosts take pride in their home. Breakfast was fabulous. Cedar Manor is within a very easy walk to many of the finest restaurants. We will definitely be back. Very nice stay.

The hotel exceeded my expectations and the location was fantastic, staff really friendly and always very accommodating and nothing is to much for them. We dined in the restaurant one night and had a suburb meal so compliments to the chef. I would definitely stay here again.

Overlooking Lake Windermere and Langdale Fells, Holbeck Ghyll is a 4-red star country house hotel with fabulous views and rooms.

The individually designed rooms all include beds dressed in Egyptian cotton. They feature an LCD TV, DVD player and tea/coffee making facilities.

Our room with a spectacular view of the Windermere lake was better than expected. The bed was very comfortable even better than our own! We were served by delightful staff every morning who seemed keen in making our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast was also very good especially the eggs royale. Would wholly recommend.

    The apartment had modern appliances, a huge and very comfortable bed and a large walk in shower. Just the ticket after hiking all day. The location was spot on too, 5 min walk (10 min slow walk) into Bowness on Windermere downhill, or uphill 5 mins to Windermere. Really quiet.

    Stunning location, very quiet and peaceful but close enough to main hubs. Site is kept very clean and staff are all very approachable and helpful. Enjoyed our swim in the lake and sitting out on veranda listening to the water lapping the shoreline. Lodge was well equipped, clean and comfortable and although bedroom is a little tight open plan kitchen/living space was good.

    The location was perfect overlooking the Lake - so beautiful & scenic. Really peaceful and quiet, but very close to the neighbouring towns including Bowness, which was a great town and only a few minutes drive. The views from the Spa roof top jacuzzi are second to none. The food was incredible - topped our entire experience. The staff made the experience - they were so friendly & welcoming, it was like a home from home. Brilliant stay.
