We decided to stay here for one night en-route back up to Scotland. We were made aware that there were no other guests staying on the night of our stay (a Sunday night), so we were given the best room in the hotel. Wow, it was AMAZING. We had booked dinner, bed and breakfast too, so decided to take full... More

We held our wedding at Merewood on 27th April 2013, and couldn't have wished for a better venue. The entire experience was absolutely perfect in every respect. The hotel is a lovely country house situated in a beautiful location, set in its own grounds with amazing views over Lake Windermere. Inside, the atmosphere is extremely cosy, with roaring coal fires,... More

I had booked Merewood Country House Hotel for a Sunday Lunch for 13 plus conference facilities for the afternoon and I could not fault the hospitality given to us. The lunch was superb and service was excellent and we were all made most welcome by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and I would certainly recommend this hotel. We... More

This was a single night on B&B rate reduced because of our attendance at a wedding at this venue. Gorgeous room with very comfortable bed. Well stocked bathroom which was very clean. Excellent breakfast, if a little rushed. Great service at checkout. An ideal venue for a wedding. Didn't find a swimming pool or fitness centre.

We have just returned from a family wedding which was held at the hotel and although we didn't stay there, the hotel was taken up by all guests at the wedding. The venue was perfect, the layout of the hotel meant that there were plenty of areas for people to mingle before and after the reception. The food and ambiance... More

We only booked this Hotel at the last minute, we could'nt believe we found such a beautiful place to stay, from the minute we walked into the gorgeous entrance we were greeted by a roaring coal fire and very friendly staff, who throughout our 3 night stay made us very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. The setting is... More

We stayed for 3 midweek nights in April 2013. Many establishments use the label "country house hotel" and its disappointing when they don't live up to this. But The Merewood is the exception as it is outstanding in every regard; stunning location overlooking lake; huge, beautifully landscaped grounds with striking water feature, gorgeously appointed old family house with imposing entrance...

I have never come close to wanting to write a review about a hotel but we have just returned from a four day break from the Merewood. Everything was perfect from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The customer service is second to none equalled by the delicious food served up at every meal. We decided to... More

WHAT A FIND!!!!!! From the moment we stepped through the doors of this hotel we were treated like long lost friends, Danny looked after us on the first night and really set the bar high, he couldn't do enough for us, and when he found out I had just come out of hospital he made sure I didn't lift a...

This hotel was a last minute booking and a real find. Situated in the most gorgeous setting with an impressive exterior you would think it deserved a much higher status than 3*. As far as the staff are concerned they should get 5* in our opinion, nothing was too much trouble & even the dog got a warm welcome every... More
