Located near Ambleside, The Samling Hotel has a garden and a terrace. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving British cuisine.

    Windermere & the lake district is just stunning with even more incredible views around every corner. There is so so much to do from pottering around the gorgeous villages to swimming, kayaking, hiking & Alpaca walks! It's so easy to see where Beatrix Potter & Wordsworth got their inspiration.

    Ideally located and handy as a base for exploring.

    Ideally located and handy as a base for exploring. Traffic always snarls up towards Ambleside, so be patient it does clear. Get up early and get out there of you want to get somewhere The cafe at Brantford does amazing brunch and for those Beatrix fans, Hill Top is great. The pub though is something else, the landlord is a treasure chest of information.

    The countryside is absolutely stunning.

    The countryside is absolutely stunning. Luckily for us the weather was beautiful just the right temperature for us and the sun was shining. We picked a good time of year as in the summer I would imagine it would be extremely busy. It's like every other old town narrow streets needing a bit of navigating. We visited the Beatrix Potter Museum which was great. We drove to Ravenglass and went on a steam train. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants in both Windermere and Bowness.

    Windermere was a lovely little town and great as a home base to see other areas around the Lake District. There are many Bars, Restaurants and Cafes around the area great to start the day or finish the day with a Pint. Many beautiful walks around for all fitness levels. Highly recommend these cafe's eateries.. Toast, HomeGround, The Crafty Baa and The Elleray does a great Chicken Burger!

    So much to see with excellent bus service that can take you virtually anywhere. There are boats that take scenic cruises to various spots around the lake. Wish I had more time because the variety of places to visit I would say can take at least a week.

    Windermere is very small and pretty, but you're better off going to Bowness if you want all that *plus* the views. Windermere was quieter than Bowness though, which makes it a great place to stay over if you're travelling to more touristy places nearby in the daytime. There is an amazing gift shop in Windermere on the corner, and the Tapas restaurant looked great, even though we didn't get time to eat there. The park on Park Road was lovely for dogs and kids, and big enough to have a proper walk around.

    Very nice and friendly check in. Hotel location is great for Windermere and parking on site which was useful. Hotel reception with the wooden staircase is pretty. There is a sister hotel a 15min drive away in Kendal which had Spa facilities at just £8 for access - great after long walks. Dog friendly too which is great. Breakfast selection was adequate too, and tasted better than most hotel breakfasts. Pricing felt reasonable compared with other offerings at the time we went.

    The reception and hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Comfortable room with excellent bathroom. The swimming pool and sauna are a great addition and easy to reserve a space. The breakfast is fantastic with a range of pastries to start and various choices for breakfast (the Cumbrian full breakfast is brilliant) The coffee and fresh orange is fresh and tastes amazing. Amazing views overlooking Windermere area.

    The property was in a lovely location and not too far from Windermere which was great. The staff at the property were wonderful, as was the spa - it was one of the best hotel spas which we’ve been too! The food in the restaurant was also exceptional. After reading lots of negative reviews I was really worried, but there was no need to be - our room was clean and comfortable which is exactly what we needed it for.

    The location is ideal. It’s about 5-minute walk from the Windermere railway station. It’s situated adjacent to the business area and easily accessible to almost everything, and meanwhile hidden in a quiet neighborhood and facing a park with an amazing view, and not to mention the tiny but beautiful garden leading to its doorstep. It’s a perfect combination of convenience and tranquility.

    Absolutely loved our one night stay here. Short and sweet. The staff were so friendly and chilled out. We would defiantly go back. The room was very luxurious, couldn’t get enough of the spa bath & the breakfast room service. In the middle of Windermere and Bowness-On-Windermere, perfect location. Loved being welcomed by the hotel doggy too 🐶 . Very friendly atmosphere!!

    It is a beautiful area to visit and Meadfoot is in a perfect location to walk into Bowness on Windermere or into the village of Windermere. We were very happy with the accommodation, the breakfast is great and Steve and Gail are a lovely couple who provide a very professional service. Parking is provided and the house has spacious gardens if you feel like resting there.

    Lovely building and the room was superb. Lots of attention to detail with furnishings. Bed huge and super comfy. Staff were great and Ian was fantastic with us as we arrived a little early but Ian let us have our room so we could go out around Windermere without having to come back to check in. This was much appreciated.

    I like everything about this accommodation and I had a pleasant stay here in Windermere. The hosts were nice and knowledgeable (I appreciate all the travel tips given) and they had everything I needed. Love the daily service and the little fridge with cold water and milk!

    Breakfast was exceptional. The room was large, warm and cosy. The hotel is well situated as a ten minute walk in either direction and you were either in Bowness on the lake or in the town of Windermere. The 'front of house' greeting, particularly from Liam, was excellent.
