Great location Didnt expect to pay for parking
Gary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Solid guest service in a comfy spot
My stay was great from the moment I got checked in by Persia who was lovely and even offered to see if the kitchen would prepare me something even though they had just closed. After my long journey from London it was a very good welcome. My room had a beautiful window with a view of the Lake and the mountains. The rest of the staff from the bar to the restaurant was really accommodating and kind. It’s within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, cinema and the lake of course.
Maria, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice comfortable stay. Breakfast was average no complaints. Room was comfortable and location was great. Although good for us a disability would make this difficult as the hotel is at the top of a steep hill. But overall it was really nice for us.

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were very pleasant and kind. The property was clean and good to stay with the family.
Kanishk, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a true gem in the Lakes District. It has a lot of history (which translates into very small rooms and a non-existent barrier between the shower and the rest of the tiny bathroom). But if you don't need a lot of space, the buffet breakfast was great, it's so close to shopping, dining, and the lakefront. A spectacular view of Lake Windermere from an outdoor patio. Which means a very steep walk up from the main drag. Definitely a classy place to stay.
Amber, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The staff were so helpful and polite, they took fantastic care of us. The hotel and surrounding area were beautiful and well kept, the rooms were comfortable with plenty of space and accessible showers. Breakfast was included with the stay and was a delicious buffet, and dinner in the restaurant was fantastic. When we return to Windermere we will absolutely be coming back to stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful Hotel in a beautiful setting. All of The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The cleanliness was excellent as well as the Decor and furnishings.
Caroline, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lots of hidden costs, like addtioanl charges for breakfast (even though the listing advertises this as being includes) and addtional costs for parking. A poor and dishonest way to conduct business, which ruined an otherwise enjoyable stay.

The Ro is in a great location overlooking the lake. Even though our room was small it was clean and had everything we needed! Breakfast was great there were plenty of options and the staff were so friendly would always stop to greet you and have a chat!

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel on lake Windermere - convenient to shopping and dining options plus walkable to the boats that taxi around the lake. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was ok and had the amenities we needed. Enjoyed the daily breakfast to gear you up for whatever walk or attraction you pursued that day.
Kenneth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable stay for 4 nights
Second time staying here. Stayed in same room 110 which is one of the biggest and great views over the lake. The room is big so can stretch out. Only down side was a shelf to put your clothes but it was fine. Nespresso coffee machine in room. All facilities lovely and staff all great. Couple bits a little dated and still needs tidying up but nothing to worry about. Great location hotel and ample parking. Look forward to stay again in same room which we like for the space and views.
