EXCELLENT Based on 259 reviews 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.Posted on Samantha MVerified Great place to stay Very convenient location, quiet, warm and cosy, excellent facilities. Room well equipped. Plenty of parking.Posted on Kati RVerified Great stay, good location Lovely team accommodated a request for us prior to stay, clean, quiet and comfortable!Posted on Colette HVerified Weekend break Great place room was lovely and clean it was spotless, the little kitchen has everything you need for a few nights away. Will definitely return.Posted on Paul CVerified Room 1 is definitely the best room. We have stayed here many times over the past couple of years. We prefer room 1 the deluxe apartment the most we have tried another 4 rooms. There is no better hotel in the lakes that allows dogs. Especially if you like modern, contemporary yet peaceful places. Good branded equipment, bose soundbars, ghd, smeg etc Ideal that its self check in with codes and another phenomenal quality is the late 1pm checkout for an extra £30. Nothing worse than waking up having to rush off on a morning at 10 or 11am especially on a leisure break. If you have dogs and want some luxury with a sleep in choose this place.Posted on annabel pVerified The perfect hotel in Windermere We had the most amazing stay at Kotel. The location was perfect and we could walk into the centre. The pub on the doorstep was so convenient to meet family. The hallway’s aesthetics are absolutely beautiful. The rooms are beautifully done out and have amazing comfy beds.

Great hotel , lovely staff super clean and very comfortable. Would recommend. Sue MorgansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved this hotel. Loved the fact that it’s keyless with no reception (there is a 24/7 Help Desk). Rooms were beautifully decorated with a large comfy bed. It’s well located just outside Windermere town and only a 15 min walk to Bowness-On-Windermere. Had to ring the help desk as I didn’t know how to turn the kitchen light off at night. Was told to wave my hand underneath it. Very cool!! Liana FishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely room. Very clean and had everything you could need for a break away. Louise FitzpatrickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We have booked again in a couple of weeks, can’t wait to go back!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Anthony HorrocksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The room was lovely. A few bits broken like light switches. The smell on the corridor was awful. A really bad smell of sweaty feet coming from some dirty laundry bags.
