Alice Howe in Windermere Reviews

Fantastic accommodation and a great setup! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Had everything we needed and more, would definitely come back!Made a 70th birthday very special so thank you!

This property is set up for singles in that only a couple of rooms have double beds. It states 2 kitchens but there is only one cooker. There was one microwave, but there are two fridges and two dishwashers. We used the smaller kitchen for prep and the larger for cooking, given that was where the cooker was. The property is clean and the space in the downstairs areas was very good. Outside space is small. The hot tub wasnt serviced daily which caused it to become cloudy, requiring a message to the owner and a complete water replacement on Thursday morning. The tumble dryer didnt work, on contacting the owner I was told it would be replaced when we left. There was only one towel each, which probably could have been highlighted as we had an issue with no tumble dryer working. Location is excellent and the manager was helpful on arrival.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay for groups, the facilities are fabulous! There was an issue with the property which the owner let us know before arrival, he came round every day to fix and update us on what was happening which was great of him. He also gave some great recommendations on places to go which we appreciated! Would love to go there again with another group.
