Lovely base for the lake. Room was spotless.

Good value, clean room and quiet but good location
I might have misread the blurb, was expecting a kitchenette and a full size fridge so was surprised to find just a kettle and mini fridge. My room was one of the tiny ones which was expected, room was clean as was shower & toilet. Bed was a single but comfy, slept like a baby although the 14 miles walked helped! Nice pub next door with quiz on Thursdays! Overall good value, and help only a phone call away.
Good location on a quiet road midway between Windermere and Bowness

Clean, quality products and stress free check in
Kotel is a great concept, keypad entry doors and checking in is as simple as them sending you the code. The hotel was in a great location, pretty old house but well maintained and decorated. Rooms were clean and very practical. All appliances were top quality brands which is unusual but reassuring.

Great Hotel
Extremely helpful staff and well equipped room. Only negative was the electric car charging point needed a cable. Perhaps this could be mentioned on the website/booking process. It wasn't a major issue for me as I had enough charge to find somewhere else but could be a problem for others, so not a complaint just a bit of feedback

Great stay with furry friends
Great stay, really good location and was perfect for travelling with the dogs. Beautiful garden at the back with the patio opening onto it so really convenient for the dogs. Great room with good facilities. Clean and very friendly team there. Would definitely go back

Enjoyable But with a But
Myself and my wife had a 2 night stay in a Studio room. The Room was modern and clean with a nice comfy king size bed and the overall building is lovely but When booking we had the impression that a kitchenette would have cooking Hobs but it only had a Microwave, Toaster, kettle, which was a big disappointment as my wife is Celiac and I would have liked to cook a nice breakfast for myself and wife as it is difficult for her eating out. This is the reason we book apartment hotels.
I think that the studio room Was over priced for what we received.
I did speak to the nice young lady there and did tell her that I was going to say this in my review so it will not be a Surprise. On a final note, we did enjoy our stay but with a little let down.

Fabulous accommodation
Rented the superior studio, it was first class. Super-clean throughout, very spacious room with uber-comfortable king size bed. Tv included a Bose soundbar which was a great addition. Kitchenette was perfect for our needs - just enough for what we needed. Location is great - very quiet around the hotel but less than 10 mins walk into the centre of Windermere town. Would definitely recommend.

Perfectly fine if you ask me..
It did exactly what it said on the tin..
Clean modern room, perfect for a night/nights stay.
Only took me 10 minutes to walk to the harbour, but buses go along the main road 1 minute away regularly anyway.
