Me and fiance stayed here for just one night for a short weekend break. Upon arrival Alan was most friendly, he gave us a choice of rooms (both of which were stylishly decorated and very welcoming). Showed us the local sites on a map and gave us a quick tour around the hotel. We had a great time here, the... More

We stayed here on 29th November for just the one night. This was a planned stop over for us on our way to Perth from Devon. We arrived late afternoon, and received a very warm and friendly welcome. We were shown the small bar area, and where breakfast would be served in the morning, and we were also shown a... More

Woodlands is a lovely guest house and perfect for a short break. We were given a choice of rooms to chose from so luckily got a room with a four poster bed. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, didn't see the owners but 2 staff were always on hand if you needed anything. Woodlands is... More

The breakfast was the best we had ever had and the waitress was a morning delight of helpfulness! We had the afternoon tea which was... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful upon arrival. We were taken to a lovely large room with an equally large ensuite. The room was brilliant, well decorated and quiet. We were above the kitchens though so could hear quite a bit of walking around from about 7am onwards. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful, by far the best ive ever... More

Wonderfully furnished rooms (exactly like the photos) fantastic food and exeptional hospitality, very worthy of the 5*... More

I spent a wonderful weekend at the Woodlands Hotel last weekend. It has the perfect location, 10 minutes walk from the train station and a lovely walk into Bowness. Even before arriving at The Woodlands Hotel I knew from all the correspondence that I was going to have a great stay. The staff are most welcoming/informative and will go out... More

After long flights and cold rainy weather, we made it to the hotel and shown to our pre-heated room immediately. The room and bathroom is very cozy, small and super clean. After a good night's sleep we had the most delicious pancakes for breakfast, the staff are very friendly and helped us plan activities for the few days we were... More

Just returned from a two night stay here and was disappointed with the hotel. Certainly not 5 star. Our room was "tight" with a double bed and small but functional en suite. The pillows need throwing away immediately as they are next to useless and flatten as soon as you lay your head on them, and I do mean flatten... More
