2/10 Poor

Location was good Property itself , very dated and the porch and reception floor was filthy and the lounge areas dirty .Nobody to receive guests, have to summon by buzzer and wait.Booked a double room for two pf us it was so small that it had one chair squeezed in , no room in the bathroom to put the toiletries etc. Asked if possible to have a bigger room. Told somebody would check. Nobody got back. The water in the shower was always cold to lukewarm ,no matter what setting. Eating in was not attractive as limited menu. The staff at breakfast were friendly , reception staff never greeted or made conversation. Booked it as it was 4 star , was not what I accepted .Will not be returning.

A beautiful period property in an isolated area but not inconvenient place to drive into . It gives you an exclusive feelings with two lounges with relaxing music . Our twin room was pretty and had a comfortable neutral colour scheme . We ordered a room service and the snacks we had were excellent . The room is a bit small and sound proof is not great. But it was a fantastic place to stay regardless .

Excellent hotel representing great value for money
Pound for Pound this is the best hotel I have stayed in the Lake District. It was excellent value for money. The setting is beautiful with lovely views of Lake Windermere. It is very dog friendly whilst still maintaining a dog free restaurant. We were able to enjoy a fabulous meal on a table set up for us in an almost private area. All staff were friendly and nothing seemed to much trouble for anyone. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely stay again next time we are in the Lakes.

A delightful Inn overlooking the lake. We were assigned a lake view room which was very comfortable (#3, Brontë). The staff was helpful and friendly. They were also attending to a small wedding, but we felt valued and welcome.

Family and Dog Night Away
We came for a one night stay, two adults, one year old and a dog (one of the only places locally which allowed dogs!). The hotel looks beautiful as you drive up the winding driveway. We were warmly greeted by the receptionist and who checked us in smoothly. We had booked a four poster bed room as it had more space. I had emailed ahead to ask for a travel cot which the hotel happily provided at no extra cost. On first look the room was lovely, however the decor was slightly dated. Sadly in the bathroom too the wallpaper was peeling from the walls. The hotel did however provide a little welcome kit for the dog too, which we thought was a lovely touch. The bed was comfy and plenty of pillows provided. The room was well equipped with tea and coffee etc, also nice additions of bottled water, boiled sweets and a coffee machine. We were on a bead and breakfast rate. We wish we had taken the hotel up on the offer of a separate room for dining where we could take the dog (ours was not best impressed being left in the room!). The food was tasty with lots of options to suit all. Checkout was easy and is somewhere we would consider coming back to.

Don't hesitate ... just book it ! This is truly a unique place, and was wonderful for the 3 nights we stayed there -- is was like an oasis we returned to each evening. Originally built as a private country residence, it is elegant and stately, with drawing room, library, wonderful bar with lake views, and wide formal staircase. Be sure to book the breakfast option. The dining room is beautiful, with full table cloths and table service, wait service was absolutely excellent. Prices are comparable to what you would pay in town, without the hustle and bustle. Most rooms are on the second floor, and only down side is that there is no elevator, but we seniors did not find that to be a problem. Our room had bay windows with beautiful views of the lake in the distance. All staff were very friendly and helpful. This will be our #1 choice when we are back in the Lake District. Don't think twice, just book it !!

2/10 Poor

While booking we selected a room (215 sqft) which can fit a couch(sofa bed) the room was barely large enough to open a suitcase anywhere but the bed. The hairdryer had pre-Covid dust, which we have to clean as nobody bothered responding ( contacted reception after 7am, which is within the operating hours). Had to fix the shower which just needed tightening up a valve, but again no one in the property seems to care. I would go ahead and say that I want a complete refund.

6/10 Good

Our second stay at the merewood, but unfortunately that personal touch / hospitality is not really there anymore. No servicing of rooms (we stayed 4 nights and at least once would have been nice) with no note to explain why in the room or upon checkin, staff didn’t even ask how our stay was on check out - the hotel isn’t cheap! No air con either on a v hot week. Location and views however are stunning, free parking onsite.

I only stopped for 1 night, Saturday 10th June, the staff were very helpful but had to ring the desk bell a number of times to get there attention, waited in excess of 15 minutes. Since I couldn't get into my room till 3pm, which is the norm, I asked if I could leave my luggage and asked if someone would take my luggage to my room since I had to leave the hotel at 1pm for a wedding reception at another nearby venue. I was a bit disappointed when I arrived back at the hotel, around 11pm, to find my luggage was still left next to the reception desk and had not been taken to my room as I asked and I was assured would happen. Overall my experience was good and yes, I would stay at the Merewood Country House again.
