About Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa
Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa suits travellers after a proper pampering break rather than a budget overnight stop, with a spa and indoor pool set beside the lake in Bowness-on-Windermere. Couples marking an anniversary, groups planning a wedding, or anyone wanting a few days of gym sessions and lake views between meals will find plenty to occupy them without leaving the grounds.
The hotel has 106 rooms across four floors, including family rooms and accessible options, all en-suite, with some looking out over the garden, the mountains or the water itself. There's a restaurant and bar on site, along with a snack bar, room service, packed lunches for the day ahead, and kids' meals for families travelling together. A games room and gardens with outdoor seating give guests space to relax outside their rooms, and the business and meeting facilities mean it can double up for work trips too.
Beyond the hotel, Bowness-on-Windermere itself offers walking and cycling routes, watersports on the lake, fishing, horse riding and a golf course nearby, plus pubs and restaurants within easy reach. Parking on site is available but comes at an extra charge, worth factoring in when weighing up the overall cost of a stay.
People say this hotel offers stunning lake views from many rooms and the restaurant, along with a good spa featuring a pool, sauna, and steam room. Guests also highlight the excellent food, especially breakfast and dinner, and the friendly, helpful staff.
Some reviews mention the rooms can be dated.
