We booked his hotel late, and as we were on a budget after scanning laterooms etc. We couldn;t believe the price advertised for 2 nights dinner, bed and breakfast (£100 each!) and after looking at the website decided it's honesty and welcoming site deserved a chance. We are not 'fussy' guests, and yes Hydro is pretty quirky, and rustic, but... More

The Hydro is an excellent base for all the kind of activities that Windermere has to offer. The staff were helpful and friendly and my room was particularly clean, if a little dated in terms of decor. ( and tv, as people like to mention!) However, the view of the lakeside was excellent! The breakfast was very good and available... More

Myself and my partner and a few friends stayed here as we came to the lake district for my birthday and we was very disappointed. We thought we would spend a little more than usual and stay somewhere nice rather than staying in a B&B and to be honest a B&B would have been 100% better!! we paid for a... More

Check in process was excellent and very efficient as was the check out. We had a lake side room number 6 which was large but a little dated. However, the view from this room across the mountains and lake was excellent. Windows are very large but do not have any blinds or nets on the main window overlooking the town... More

Visited the hotel for a function - it's situated a few minutes walk from the centre of Windermere. The location is great but it's a steep hill up to the hotel if anyone has issues with mobility. The double room we stayed in was a good size with a small balcony looking down to Lake Windermere. As others have stated... More
