The layout is a little strange particularly with the specials board in a position where you have to stare above a table that is a bit intrusive when occupied. We found the general atmosphere a little hostile to non locals with the other halve thinking the foul language was too common a feature. Otherwise I thought it was comfortable though a little false with the what looks like an impressive cooking range not being cast iron rather pressed steel. Service was pretty good.

The Inn is quaint, charming, and comfortable and the staff are kind, welcoming and accommodating! We arrived and were immediately happy with the safe and private parking accommodations. We actually arrived very late that evening, and called ahead, they waited up for us and were so kind upon arrival. The Hotel is SO charming, cute and cozy. The aesthetic is charming English cottage, while also being updated and feeling clean. The hotel rooms themselves are more modern (though unique) to give you all of the comforts of home - my fave being the towel warmer. Our room was wonderfully clean (and I'm a stickler on cleanliness!) and the bed was so comfortable, especially after a long drive. It was such a comfortable and clean place to lay our heads for the evening. The hotel has a restaurant that I would also recommend. Breakfast was incredible - one of the first hotel breakfasts where I haven't had to douse in pepper haha. Well seasoned and well cooked, high quality ingredients. Jonathan is a wonderful chef. My husband said the hollandaise was one of the best he's ever had. I'd recommend stopping by for sure, and don't miss breakfast! The hotel is also very unique in that they have local goods/art around the hotel, both as decor and for sale. Such a sweet touch. We bought one of Caroline's paintings - she's multi talented! Overall, I would stay here again. 10/10!!

We stayed here for…read moreone night prior to embarking on a several day hiking adventure in the English lake district. 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.

It was a lovely day and the patio outside of Yewdale was full of people, looking very inviting! It was so full in fact that we ended up being seated inside, which was not a problem. For international travelers like myself, note that you don't have a server come to your table, but instead you head up to the bar to put in food and drink orders. A few brews for the guys, a glass of wine for my mom-in-law, and a gin spritzer cocktail for me all went over well! As for the food: I opted for the sweet potato and chickpea curry and wow was it flavorful! Full of spices, but not too spicy. It came with mango chutney (my fave), a coconut yogurt of sorts, and plenty of rice. A filling dish for sure. I also had a bite (or three) of my husband's margarita pizza. It was tasty and the crust was perfection. Not surprising seeing as they have a big wood-fired oven that the pizzas are made in. The fish n chips were rated top notch by my in-laws as well. We were appreciative of the high chair for my son, the friendly staff, and the fact that this place is dog-friendly because there were plenty of cute pups around! Nothing but a positive dinner experience here!

We got here on one of the rare sunny days in the Lake District and the room was filled with sunlight, with a gorgeous view outside to the greens and the little ponds. I'd highly recommend the spa lodge room itself. It has some amazing features: - each unit is a small wood house on its own, lots of privacy - ensuite outdoor sauna room, Jacuzzi, and indoor steam room(doubled as shower room) - spacious bathroom with huge tub, and separate toilet unit - the bedroom is nicely decorated (apparently each room has a different theme) - nice audio system both indoor and on the patio My only complaint about the room is that there are so many switches for light controls (and sauna room) but they didn't seem to be sorted in any logical order... I was very confused by them. Besides the room, the food in this hotel is amazing. The staff have also been very helpful in responding to my questions and arranging ground transportation for me. It would be my top choice for my next trip to the lake district.

The extensive grounds allow for strolls along the shore and out onto the lake to view the Storrs Temple. Afternoon tea or a sandwich lunch, sitting in sunshine with stunning views of the lake could be absolutely perfect. But it's not because the food just isn't right. I took a friend for afternoon tea 18 months ago and was very disappointed. Beautifully presented, very expensive, but distinctly below standard. We were even served a piece of bread that was a crust with the brown crusty bits sliced off! To be fair, the management offered us a complementary afternoon tea. I recently gave them another chance, and tried tea with biscuits and scones. We each had 3 biscuits. The almond biscuits were delicious mouthfuls of buttery crispness, but the other two were unpleasantly soft and tasteless. The scones were served with spheres of rich clotted cream, very good jam and raspberries (an excellent idea as the raspberry cuts through the fat of the cream and balances the sweetness of the jam). They looked fabulous, but the taste and texture of the scones was just okay. Not a patch on the scone I ate today in Booth's 1847 in Garstang, or the scone I ate last week in a guest house in Horton in Ribblesdale. I mentioned the inedible biscuits when paying at reception, but the receptionist was less than concerned. I suggest you visit Storrs Hall for a relaxing drink, but eat elsewhere.
