Whitewater Spa & Leisure Club
10/10 Excellent
"The restaurant was excellent although the service was slow as there was no Maitre d' at the door to welcome and we had to wait quite a few minutes to be seated. However, the waiter cleared a table for us efficiently upon request.
The setting was perfect for our outdoor weekend: rapidly flowing river outside our window and lovely views into the valley.
The room was comfortable and spacious fitting myself, my husband and grown son adequately."

We stayed at this amazing hotel for our wedding anniversary on the 1st of August for 2 nights. The staff in all areas were out of this world and could not do enough for us especially in the restaurant and I have to give a special mention to Derrick who is incredible and takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. The food on the first night was one of the best restaurant meals I have had along with impeccable service. My wife had the chicken and said was the best she had eaten and I had the local lamb which was full of flavour and delicious. Then on the second night they surpassed themselves again. Never thought possible. I ordered a blue fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and my wife same but medium again cooked perfectly. The desserts were also to die for. Being a chef this is a great compliment to all the restaurant and kitchen staff
Also the breakfast was wonderful plenty of choice from cold buffet, cereal , bread and pastries and then a choice of cooked to order breakfast with locally sourced ingredients the buttermilk pancakes were delicious and the full English. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated with great bathrooms and very comfy beds. The housekeeping was impeccable also. Our view was amazing was a view of the lake and gardens from all windows stunning. The leisure club is a joy with a jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and good sized pool with plenty of seating inside and out. They also gave us a free room upgrade, champagne and chocolates "
"The property is located in an excellent location, right upon Lake Windermere itself. The staff are all friendly and the breakfast is good. The beds are firm and uncomfortable for me but that might be a personal preference. "
"Only stayed one night. Lovely quiet setting. The whole place has character. Staff were great and friendly, very accommodating. Beautiful views from the restaurant and bar of the gardens. Room was nice, tidy and clean although a little warm for my liking. Will be back for another stay soon! "
"Beautiful location, views are stunning on the outside terrace, rooms are lovely whilst small has all you need although would suggest a mirror on the dressing table. Breakfast was lovely, drinks very reasonably priced with a good selection and lovely welcoming staff. "
