Breakfast was continental which was perfect for us as we aren't big breakfast eaters. There was a wide range of different fruit, breads and yoghurt.

After a train ride from London, we checked in and were immediately escorted to our rooms. It is a gorgeous, well appointed, old white cottage with seemingly unending English charm. The room included a queen bed with comfortable linens, en suite bath with a standup shower, in-room toiletries, coffee/tea service, and incredible views of the town of Windermere. Overall, it was very well appointed with modern features throughout. For dinner, we enjoyed the restaurant's evening special of sirloin and chips. We ordered it medium rare and it came cooked to medium. Prior to that we broke from English tradition, and ordered a very nice fruit & cheese plate for an appetizer. At the end of the meal, their sticky toffee pudding was quite rich and among the top four I've had in my life. They have a very lovely outdoor setting, complete with comfortable tables, that allow for glorious views of Windermere, both the town and the body of water. Angel Inn also has a guest lounge area, with comfortable sofas and chairs that allow you to warm yourself by their wood burning fireplace. It is within easy walking distance to the post office, co-op, Laundrette, and mere. It is a 1.6 mile walk, all downhill, from the Windermere train station. There are also bus routes to take you into town.

This had some amazing views of the snow capped hills and mountains of Lake District. The bedroom was cosy and spotless, with tea/coffee making facility, fresh milk available in little fridge at stairs nice touch. Also hairdryer, TV and alarm clock in room . The ensuite had gorgeous L'occitane products for use. Fab!! Shower was lovely after long walk in hills. Also to help settle in is some sherry, water and home made chocolates. Yummy! Loads of walks available from the hotel. The owners are very knowledgeable of same and can give guidance on routes etc. They also can prepare packed lunches on request and even fill up ur flask. We did two walks while there. Enjoyed both very much. Also did tour of Lake, tickets available at hotel. Had dinner one night in the award winning restaurant. All I can say is it was fabulous. And was to a very high standard. The lobster mayo with trout cake starter was unbelievable. And main course local lamb was so tender and tasty. Food coma after all the courses. Breakfast is continental and frys etc.. great start to the day. Fill the bellys. And the best part is to see the local red squirrels and birds eating right outside the window from the bird feeder.

We were greeted upon arrival by a really friendly member of staff who let us leave our bags behind reception while we went exploring, as we had arrived before check in time. When we returned, one the most enthusiastic and welcoming people met us and showed us our room and gave us some great tips on where were the best places to eat near by. A big thumbs up! The rooms position within the hotel was a little odd as we were directly off the main dining area, but there was a stair way that took us away from the noise and gave us privacy thank god! The room was perfectly adequate, the only real problem was the towels could have been bigger; which for me is pretty good as i find problems with everything! I would definitely without question stay here again in a heart beat and the price we paid online was very reasonable!
