On arriving at the hotel there were no other cars in the car ark, but the spaces were very small and at funny angles - not a great problem though. The welcome we got was quite indifferent, I think this was because we had arrived earlier than expected and I was made to feel a little guity abot this. We... more

We have been going to the same place in the lakes for 10 years but couldn't get in so I decided to try oakbank house. We are so glad we did. I had already organised flowers and champagne to be in the room on arrival as this was a surprise for my mum. The flowers were beautiful and the champagne... more

No way this is a 5 star rated hotel by AA. First of all, the parking was bad with limited tiny parking spaces. When I got into the room on the ground floor, there were dead flies lying on the floor everywhere. The glass door had been smashed and had cracks on it. Thinking that it was the only thing... more

I stayed with my partner and another couple for 3 nights. We booked two ensuite rooms. Having paid a fortune (£104 per night per room) for the hotel, we were expecting a 5-star hotel room and service. However, not only were we disappointed but felt outrageous about the poor service. I could easily list below which leads to the terrible... more

Room was beautifully furnished and we liked it so much we often came home early from the pub (Hole int' Wall - best pub in the lakes, 2 minutes from the hotel)... more

Very comfortable bed, tastefully decorated with a great lak view over the rooftops. Breakfast was fulfilling and made fromfresh local produce. There was a guest lounge (again overlooking the... more

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary along with my 2 sisters and their husbands. I'd read the previous reviews and looked on their website and I can honestly say the website is absolutely spot on. The hotel was in a fantastic location smack bang in the middle of Bowness within easy walking distance of... more

This hotel is in an excellent location being walking distance up the hill from the lake and very close to the shops in Bowness. The rooms vary in price based I think on how good the view is, particularly of Lake Windermere. We had room 9 and it had a reasonable view of the lake but not the best on... more
