Comfortable and very clean in a perfect location for Windermere and Bowness. The welcome and Customer Service were outstanding and better than several places I’ve stayed at. The Howbeck team really care. Breakfast was great and again the customer service at breakfast was outstanding.

Breakfast was probably one of the best we've had in years. Staff are really attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Very clean, Car park safe and convenient. Will definitely return.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, peaceful getaway, we highly recommend booking The Retreat. From the moment we arrived, the friendly and helpful staff made us feel welcome. Our spacious room was equipped with great amenities, and we especially loved the spa bath with air bubbles the perfect way to unwind before bed. In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with plenty of options, served on our private patio, before taking a short walk into Windermere. Everything about our stay was just wonderful.

There are a lot of different breakfast options, and the food is great especially the bacon in Eggs Benedict and the sourdough bread. The spa bath is great, and the bathroom is nice. The only problem is the extra bed is a bit too soft, and the bed is a bit too low. Access to transport is near, as Windermere Library bus stop is near (basically in front of the hotel!), so is Windermere Railway Station as it’s an 10 minute walk via High Street. Overall the stay is pretty good.

The hotel is in a great location for easy access to Windermere. The pool was a short drive away, and as we were there for only a couple of nights we didn't get to use it. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Our bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. Would be very happy to stay there again on our next visit to Windermere.

We had a wonderful stay. The Howbeck was spotlessly clean, including the bathroom which was beautifully designed.

Excellent place to stay. Short walk from Windermere town and the shops and restaurants there. Gorgeous property, comfortable beds and the breakfast was excellent. Only complaint was the bathrooms. Very tall tub walls and very slick tub surface with no non-slip shower/tub mats, so it was a miracle I didn't slip and didn't get seriously hurt when taking a shower.
