Find the Cheap South Lakeland District Hotels

A lovely retreat just outside the village of bowness on Windermere. Spa facilities truly excellent , possibly the best massage I’ve had in memory (they don’t do ‘sports’ massage but if you ask for it boy do you get a strong massage) Michelin star restaurant was my first experience of such and is something that has to be done. Food excellent throughout, staff excellent and knowledgable, met the chef to compliment his work. Drive up to the lake house from the hotel (10 mins max) and rowed around the wee lake, again a hidden gem.

Excellent staff and service. The room is good size , nw, fresh and clean. Breakfast is buffet style with nice view, one of the best I ever had.

The hotel was hospitable with very friendly staff however location wise it was quite far from the places I wantes to visit however it was close by to the town centre with many halal restaurant suchs as lake raj. Overall it was a pleasant stay!!!

There are plenty of reasons to choose The Wild Boar estate when there are many choices in the area. It's secluded,but you are in the bustling towns within minutes. The rooms are very comfortable and have character. Probably one of the best options and breakfasts I have ever had. Own little brewery and the alternative afternoon tea was excellent,albeit savoury biased. I don't mind paying a bit extra for excellence,and in truth the service was that, so no qualms about paying the service charge. So overall we had a great couple of nights,and would recommend the hotel. I did have one niggle,my wife ordered the scallops as a starter,which came with black pudding, at £16, I thought a bit steep, however a tad disappointed when just one scallop was served. Of course I raised the point after eating but really too late to make amends. The menu should read scallop if only one is served. A very minor point, that didn't spoil our break, but not good value on that point. The breakfast though, WOW.

The environment is great. You can see the lake when you go out. It is the hotel's private lake view. The room is also large and the hygiene is good in all aspects. There is no elevator, but staff can carry luggage. But it is more suitable for self-driving friends. There are very few bus trips and you can only take a taxi. In the Lake District, there are only local taxis and no Uber.

I especially recommend this hotel, a old English villa, which is newly renovated and British style. It is very clean and full of toiletries. It is 3 minutes away from the town by car. The room can see part of the lake view and the surrounding environment. Very good, I especially like their afternoon tea, the tea set is very exquisite, and I look at it with great care! Part of the breakfast is buffet, and the main meal is à la carte, with a large portion and enough to eat! If you have children staying with you, you must tell the hotel in advance that the children need to charge a fee of £28.50/piece/night! This fee includes breakfast and extra bed. If it is not stated in advance, the fee will still be charged, but there will be no extra bed! Expresso capsule coffee is provided free of charge in the room, which is my favorite. Those who like coffee are very surprised!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special and welcomed. We had drinks in the lounge area and veranda enjoying the spectacular views. The staff were all dressed smartly, and I got the impression they all loved working there. I had booked for my wife’s birthday and had also booked a table in the Henrock restaurant inside the hotel. The food was amazing, delicious and perfectly presented and served. Each delicious course was the lead up to the most amazing dessert I have ever eaten, and it was a rhubarb based dessert, which under normal circumstances is a contradiction where desserts are concerned normally, however this was an explosion of delicious tastes and textures. Would highly recommend this hotel and restaurant and we both hope to return, sooner rather than later.
