We made a trip to Bowness on Windermere and stayed at Stags Head for 2 nights. The room we booked was comfortable enough and the location cannot be any better. The lake is within few minutes walk and there are plenty of restaurants around to choose from. I will recommend this place.

This Hotel has a great location for Bowness but the bedroom we had booked the bathroom had thick black mold in the shower so we asked to change rooms. The next room had a refurbed bathroom but the walls had peeling paintwork which obviously had damp in the past and had not been repaired. The impression of this dirty and... More

We had a two day break at Easter and stayed at the Stags Head, we were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The breakfasts set you up for the day, if you can eat it!! To eat at the Stags was very reasonable, plus as we were staying there, we got a 10% discount card to... More

Mu husband took me to the Stags Head for the weekend for my birthday. My first impression was that it was a very quaint, "proper" English inn. It's in a perfect setting, right in the village (but I don't think there is onsite parking). My husband paid a little more for the Windermere suite (so I can't comment on the... More

The staff at this hotel are really nice and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, wide choice on offer and plentiful. But the room was a different matter. We were in a family room, room 12. The bathroom definitely needs refurbishing, broken tiles and broken toilet seat, very unhygenic. Cleaning standard was not very high at all and needs... More

Been here a few times but never had food. This time we tried it and cant complain. Food was plentyful and rather nice. Lacks a little atmosphere but has a real fire which is great on a cold night. Staff are great and helpful. Place is clean and friendly mostly couples that were in but children are welcome.

This hotel is in an ideal place in Bowness, and first impressions were good. However the room while being adequate could do with an update. The bathroom tiles were very mouldy but the bed made up for it as it was so comfortable. The main downfall was the noise. We knew there was a disco in the basement, and while... More
