EXCELLENT Based on 265 reviews Posted on AndyELancashireVerified Lovely peaceful break We had a lovely weekend here at Kotel in Windermere. The rooms are dog friendly which is brilliant for us as we like to take our dog with us wherever we can. The room we had was spotless and finished to a high standard. We had access to the rear garden via a separate door which was very handy. The building was very quiet which suited us as we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Location is great, just between Windermere and Bowness, a short walk to eother. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.Posted on Lynnee HVerified Kotel Windermere lovely break Lovely rooms with beautiful furnishing and amenities. 5-10 min walk from pubs and restaurants. Lovely relaxing break and will definitely come again. Easy to check in and kept up to date with check in information prior. The bedrooms clean and beautiful.Posted on Mark EVerified highly recommend lovely clean and modern room, easy and clear self check in, fantastic place to stayPosted on Sophie LVerified Another perfect stay, we will be back….. Perfect stay once again! The deluxe apartment is amazing a touch of luxury and good value for money. It is in a fabulous location between Windermere and Bowness. Our dog Bambi absolutely loves it too! Lovely and chilled and we were looked after really well by the host. It is our third stay and we cannot wait for our next trip! We definitely 💯 recommend!Posted on Jen MVerified Pleasant stay Lovely stay at Kotel, rooms very modern and clean with private parking which is a bonus for a stay in WindermerePosted on Charlie EVerified Excellent value for money Great location, lovely room and dog friendly.

Would recommend.Posted on Joanne MVerified Very stylish hotel The Kotel was lovely , great decor, and all the facilities you needPosted on Slawomir SVerified Amazing stay Amazing room with high standards furnishings and equipment.Never seen like this before.Will definitely go back there with my family.Thank youPosted on Mike DVerified Winter break Lakes, with dog and Wife. We have been to the Kotel now quite a few times, the place is handy for Windermere and Bowness as right in the middle. Excellent facilities, plenty of parking. Smart tv and great rooms. We usually try and book a ground floor dog friendly room with access to the garden for the dog. The place is well maintained and very modern. Price for a room is also reasonable.Posted on Louise BVerified 5* stay at a low price point We stayed at The Kotel for one night on 13th February. We’re quite local to the Lake District (around 30 minutes away) and regularly book nights away, so we’ve experienced some lovely 5* accommodation over the years, with the 5* price tags to match! This was a very last-minute booking (the morning of our stay). Because of the date, most of the places we usually stay, along with others that have been recommended to us over the years, were fully booked. We came across The Kotel on Booking.com and it looked decent enough. The rate there was £240, but I always check the hotel’s direct website as it’s often cheaper, and this time it was, at £182. I’ll be honest, I didn’t have particularly high expectations purely because we’re used to paying nearly double that for a standard room elsewhere. However, we booked the luxury apartment (Room 1) and were genuinely blown away. When we walked in, there was a bottle of champagne and rose petals on the bed. Something we hadn’t requested and absolutely didn’t expect at this price point. It was such a lovely touch and really set the tone for our stay. The apartment itself was wonderful. Incredibly spacious and absolutely spotless (and I’m very fussy when it comes to cleanliness!). It also had some really high-end amenities including a Dyson fan, Nespresso coffee machine, Smeg kettle, plus GHD straighteners and a GHD hairdryer. Again, far beyond what I expected for what we paid. The building itself is a beautiful old property, full of character, which added to the overall experience. There’s also free parking available, which is always a bonus in Windermere, and lovely gardens that guests can use which would be perfect if you’re staying longer or visiting in warmer weather. I needed to message the host a few times during our stay, not because of any major problems, just little things like questions about the heating controls. One message was because I couldn’t find the remote for the TV in the bedroom, and they arrived within 10 minutes with replacement controls. That level of responsiveness really sums up the excellent customer service we experienced throughout. Check-out is 10am, but you can arrange a late check-out until 1pm for £35. I think this is very reasonable for an extra three hours and would be ideal for anyone travelling from further away who wants a more relaxed morning. Overall, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We would 100% stay again and will definitely be recommending The Kotel to our friends who enjoy nights away in Windermere.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 217 reviews Posted on Niamh Callaghan FarrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely loved my stay! Having so many appliances in my room was super helpful, even had straighteners! Only thing I can say is I preferably would have liked two towels, a hand towel and body towel, and the hair dryer had an incredibly sticky residue left over the buttons and handle which was a very unpleasant surprise. Other than that I absolutely loved staying there and would stay again!Posted on Mick GallagherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A last minute one night booking and wow, what a place! The room was amazing. Kettle (with tea/coffee/milk) microwave, fridge, toaster, hairdryer, iron, TV with soundbar, strip lighting with bedside controls (colour, effects, brightness etc), fan. As I was in the single room, there was a box which had a plate, bowl, wine glass, cup, tumbler, knife, fork, spoon, wine/bottle opener! Literally everything you would need. The hotel has a quiet time from 2200 but to be honest, it was quiet the whole time. The team are responsive and helpful too. The bathroom had shaver sockets. The room, including the bathroom, was immaculately clean. I recommend this place very highly!! Thank you for a great night's stay!Posted on Dilara SavasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really loved the Kotel where I stayed during my trip to Windermere. It’s located in a very charming building, and my single room was perfectly sufficient and comfortable. The room had a fridge, basic kitchen equipment, a smart TV, and a nice bathroom, and everything was very clean. The team was also very attentive and helpful, and I felt safe throughout my stay. I asked them to arrange a taxi for my return journey in the morning and they were very helpful with that as well. There is a bus stop just a 3-minute walk from the hotel, which makes transportation very convenient. If I come back again, I would definitely stay at Kotel. Sending my best regards to the team.Posted on rab andersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I booked the deluxe apartment for my husband’s 60th birthday, it was amazing! We had a lovely bottle of fizz on arrival it was absolutely beautiful!! We have booked again in a couple of weeks, can’t wait to go back!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Posted on Sarah MeliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gorgeous room with everything you need. Close to everything. Would definitely go backPosted on Bartosz SplawskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was extremely unpleasant. I found a disgusting stain on the bed cover that appeared to be vomit. Discovering something like this on a bed is shocking and completely unacceptable. In addition, there was a strong, unpleasant smell in the room. This experience made me feel very uncomfortable staying there. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this hotel.Posted on Kate MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Class! We loved it. Very clean, modern. Easy to get too, easy to access! Loved the mood lights ☺️Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
