Low Wood Bay

Myself and my husband stayed for one night earlier this month. We had booked a lake view balcony room hoping the weather would be kind to us to sit and look at the wonderful views. We were lucky it was. The room itself is a bit dated . The furniture although beautiful old wood could do with a light sand down and re oil to make it look good again. The bathroom was like any bathroom you would get in a Travelodge or similar. What did surprise me was the rusty radiator/towel rail on the wall and the rusty toilet holder and old toilet brush.....very disappointing.....The bed was comfortable. The glass on the balcony was great to sit and look over the lake, but the wooden chairs so low and uncomfortable to sit on. The glass could have done with a good clean. Lots of dirt and green mold especially around the bottom of the glass. I would say for the price we paid approx £274 b&b it was very over priced. The hotel itself has some lovely modern areas, but the wing with the lake view balcony rooms definitely need an upgrade. Location great for the views but it's a busy road so lots of noise when your sat out and not much to do in the area unless you like water sports. Bus service right outside to take you into the lakes is good if you don't want to drive.

Spent the afternoon at the spa with some friends and had a lovely experience. The spa itself is beautiful, with 4 pools to choose from and bar service directly in the pools. The snacks were delicious, the brownies especially! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. Before heading to the spa, we had lunch at Blue Smoke Restaurant, where the food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the staff were just as lovely. A special mention to Scott Capstick at Low Wood, who was extremely helpful and played a big part in making our visit a 10/10 experience. We can’t wait to return!

Such a beautiful hotel on Lake Windermere. The Spa is the best one I’ve been to! Grab yourself a cocktail and take in the amazing views in the outdoor heated pool. We also had a massage which was perfect. There is a bus stop right outside if you want to go into Bowness. The sunset from the lawn at the front of the hotel is magical. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. Such a relaxing romantic getaway.

First time staying and I really enjoyed it. It was such a joy to have a hotel where finding parking isn't stressful. Lovely 40 min walk into Ambleside and fantastic views of Lake Windermere. Didn't use the spa but used the pool and gym which were very nice and really well equipped. Residents can only use the pool between 7 30am and 10am and 5.30pm to 8pm (adults only) The staff were really nice, the lady in the breakfast room runs a tight ship, I feel a bit sorry for the way she spoke to her colleagues Breakfast, I expected more variety for a hotel of that price and standard. No fresh fruit, no bread variety, no yoghurt variety. The room was lovely, but the security light was right opposite our window and lit up the room the whole night. It was like the lamppost scene in One Foot in the Grave (too niche?? Maybe) They cant turn it off, so we suggested a black out blind to be fitted as the curtains didn't suffice. We ate at Blue Smoke the first night, again staff were great, wine list extensive, but food was bang average. The chips were oven chips, the steak was ok but totally overpriced. We went to the Priest Hole in Ambleside the second night and that was excellent for half the price. Overall for location and comfort I would stay again but theres a few things needed to bring it up to 4 star standard and be worth the eye watering price they charge per room per night.
