Windermere suites, Windermere

Accommodation Description:
When we launched Windermere Suites we wanted to bring something new to the Lake District. Something that really reflected the tranquillity and majesty of this unique corner of England. After all, here was a place famed for romantics and disciples of beauty

But we didnt just want a boutique hotel. We wanted something far more special. A place to rejuvenate not just the body, but the mind

A 5 luxury retreat, without the pomp and ceremony of a stuffy hotel, where anyone could feel like they had truly escaped. £1.6 million and 8 stunningly appointed suites later and Windermere Suites was born

Each of the breathtaking private suites is designed and furnished to deliver comfort beyond the norm. Delight beyond expectation. From the moment you open your door to the moment you leave youll be cosseted in style from every angle

Every fitting, every furnishing, every technical element is designer quality. Perfect for honeymooners, anniversary couples or just die-hard romantics who seek heavenly solitude and privacy. Youll enjoy a hearty Cumbria platter or Continental breakfast served every morning in the relaxing comfort of your own suite

Not to mention room service right up until 10pm should you want a drink or a delicious snack. However, if you would prefer to sit down to dinner, the 5 Howbeck Hotel is next door. Already an acclaimed success, it offers 11 elegant and individually coordinated bedrooms in a delightfully different hotel setting

In fact, the lavish attention to detail and designer style of the Howbeck was the blueprint for Windermere Suites. A blueprint thats been brought to beautiful life. Another fascinating element of Windermere Suites is that it is a living showroom, where you can experience first hand some of todays leading designer furniture manufacturers

Whats more, if you love what you see and were sure you will many of the items are available for you to order at hugely discounted prices compared to the high street. So you can now take a little bit of our luxury home with you. Its the perfect way to try before you buy
