Wish I could give more than 5 stars!! We ordered takeout to have a hiking picnic, and the food was delicious!! Especially the beef burrito.
The service was amazing and I have nothing bad to say about this place!
Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Windermere!

Queens Head, Troutbeck

Town Head, Troutbeck, Windermere

Gorgeous little place nestled in stunning scenery. The atmosphere is inviting, warm and friendly. Open fire on cool afternoons and evenings, warm blankets provided if you want to sit outside and admire the scenery and it's a little chilly. A great starting and finishing point for exploring the surrounding countryside, with 10 lovely rooms you can book, each different and interesting. Every room is spotlessly clean and 9 of the 10 are dog-friendly! Food and drink is excellent and dogs even have their own menu and treats - definitely a "paws for thought"!! All the staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Been there 3 times so far this year - and definitely returning!

The Easy Breeze

Church St, Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere

The lamb shawarma was very flavorful and it went really well with the beer! I’m glad I went with the staff’s recommendation for the beer.
I feel as though the rest of my family who ordered a burger didn’t enjoy their meal as much! The dining area was nice and cozy. The staff was very attentive.

Cedar Manor Ambleside Road, Windermere

Cedar Manor

Ambleside Road, Windermere

We had a brilliant stay at Cedar Manor and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Caroline and Jonathan are the most welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Their advice on local walks was invaluable and helped us make the most of this beautiful part of the world.

We stayed in the Windermere room - it was gorgeous, the bed incredibly comfortable, and every little detail has been thoughtfully considered. From the beautiful artwork by local artists to the lovely dressing gowns, locally made toiletries and carefully chosen in-room facilities, everything feels special without being overdone.

The breakfasts were absolutely incredible, and the service throughout our stay was seamless. Every morning, while we enjoyed breakfast, our room was cleaned and beautifully made up, so we could return upstairs to everything looking immaculate. The whole place runs like clockwork, yet never loses its warmth or personal touch. It’s clear that Caroline and Jonathan take enormous pride in what they do.

For us, luxury in the Lake District isn’t about city glitz or extravagance. It’s about peace and tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, quality local touches, exceptional comfort and the feeling that every detail has been taken care of. Cedar Manor delivers all of this in abundance, combining the charm and character of a beautiful manor house with genuinely wonderful hospitality.

Cedar Manor is a real gem and everything we hoped for in a Lake District escape. Thank you, Caroline and Jonathan, for such a memorable stay. We will definitely return and recommend it without hesitation. Jess & Nick

Homeground Coffee + Kitchen

Main Rd, Windermere

Lovely place for breakfast or brunch.

Note that you may well queue - we got there early in hopes to just get in as the first groups were finished, and we felt lucky, as, despite the horrendous rain, about 10 mins after we sat, the queue was about 20 people, and by the time we left, it was a good bit more. On a sunny weekend.

But don't let that put you off, it is well worth it, we tried a good few breakfast and brunch places in the area, and this stood out! There is a reason there are queues.

Hooked Seafood

Ellerthwaite Square, Windermere

Myself and my mum booked into Hooked on a busy Saturday night during our trip to Windermere, and it was a fantastic experience! Although a small restaurant, it was packed full and the waiters handled it with ease, we never felt neglected and they were so friendly and efficient. We both got the scallops to start which were incredible! The best we’ve had in a long time, I nearly licked the plate clean. I had the mussels for mains while my mum had the bream. The mussels were lovely, but the bream was really exceptional with a very generous portion size. We shared the potatos and green beans as sides which were again delicious and the perfect additions!

We also opted for dessert for the first time on the trip as we knew at this point it was bound to be good, and the crème brûlée and almond and chocolate cake special certainly didn’t disappoint. We paired it all with a lovely picpoul and a couple of dessert wines. By the end of the meal we were the last ones left, and although they would have had a lot to do to close between them, the guys were lovely enough to take the time to chat with us at length about the restaurant and our experience until our taxi arrived!

A truly wonderful family run place, we will definitely be back on figure visits and wish them every success! ?

Merewood Country House Hotel, Windermere

Merewood, the look of the venue itself should be enough to go off! However what a beautiful team they have there that made the whole experience a home away from home, the wedding team Rhiannon and Tegan were just amazing they made our whole experience so enjoyable, relaxed and confident we were in good hands, from the open days, our meeting, the night before and the big day they made our experience! They could not have been more accommodating and made us and our families feel so special, they do this day in day out and you can tell as it runs like clockwork, but how they then manage to make that feel so personal is an absolute talent! Also a mention to Nicola who was also fab and in hand on the day running about for me making sure I made it down the aisle with plenty of fizzy pop to hand after I’d spend the whole morning with a poorly with a migraine! I could not recommend this venue enough what they have as a team is very special as a venue it really does have a charming wow factor whichever season you’re getting married in

We have already planned out trip back in October!
