Windermere Stay
We had a great time at Windermere. We ate at the pub for dinner one night & the food was delicious. The hotel had so many things to do for fun. We also enjoyed the buffet breakfast- so many options to choose from. If the weather was a little warmer, we would have swam in the pool too.

A beautiful night away!
Overall a beautiful resort! We booked very last minute as a night away from the kids so think we got the last room. It was a little musty smelling but overall the grounds, service, and food were all delightful. Great little beach for a quick dip before dinner. Live music and scenery were great. We will definitely be back with our kids!
