WE only stayed one night, we had the Bowness Suite which was really nice and they do tell you about the night club, which spoils the hotel its very noisy and obviously frequented by lots of local young people Breakfast was nice but staff are not very good, we had cereal and when breakfast was brought the waitress left all...

The booking.com website was so misleading. We were up for a wedding and this hotel had larger suite rooms which from the picture looked nice so we booked it. We arrived to church bells ringing for what seemed like ages I had no option but laugh. It isn't really a hotel in my opinion it's a pub with bedrooms. The... More

We decided to stay at this hotel based on the pictures on the website, we were more than happy with the location it's in a perfect place almost, but the hotel well it's a little different I assure you! En suite? The room we had (15) the bathroom was so small you couldn't use it! There was damp, cheap toiletries... More

Took one look and knew we would NOT sleep there. It's old, grubby and has a club downstairs that looks like something out of True Blood. Pictures I saw were massively misleading. Do yourselves a favour and book something, anything else so you don't end up loosing your money like we did. We went to find something else....

We made a trip to Bowness on Windermere and stayed at Stags Head for 2 nights. The room we booked was comfortable enough and the location cannot be any better. The lake is within few minutes walk and there are plenty of restaurants around to choose from. I will recommend this place.

This Hotel has a great location for Bowness but the bedroom we had booked the bathroom had thick black mold in the shower so we asked to change rooms. The next room had a refurbed bathroom but the walls had peeling paintwork which obviously had damp in the past and had not been repaired. The impression of this dirty and... More

Mu husband took me to the Stags Head for the weekend for my birthday. My first impression was that it was a very quaint, "proper" English inn. It's in a perfect setting, right in the village (but I don't think there is onsite parking). My husband paid a little more for the Windermere suite (so I can't comment on the... More
