What a wonderful property. Ideally located between Windermere and Bowness to explore both. Friendly staff, beautiful room (12) that was immaculate, lovely balcony that overlooked at stream, comfortable bed, great breakfast. The staff were attentive, helpful and genuinely want you to feel at home and have a perfect stay. We could not fault this property and couldn’t ask for more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would 100% recommend it. Thank you to all of the team at The Hawksmoor. We will definitely be back! :)

We had such a wonderful stay at this lodge! The place is very cozy, spotless, and clearly well cared for. Since it’s run directly by the owners, the service feels personal and truly superb. The location is excellent—just a few minutes’ walk to both Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere town, making it very convenient. One thing that really stood out was the thoughtful touches: complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cookies, all refilled daily—something you don’t usually get at hotels. We booked this for our advance wedding anniversary and were greeted with a sweet little surprise, which made our stay extra special. We only paid a small amount for an additional chocolate treat, which was absolutely worth it. Breakfast was also fantastic, with plenty of options to choose from. You can really feel the love and care Rich and Ada put into running their lodge—it makes all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Lake District!
