Lakes Boutique Hostel Apartment Windermere

“Fantastic”

We booked Lakes boutique hostel for a party of 20 on 26 Jan to celebrate a family birthday. Our group ranged from 2 to 80 years old, and everyone was well taken care of. The place was spotless and fully equipped—everything needed for cooking, entertaining, or cleaning was available. All linens and tea towels were freshly laundered, showing great attention to detail. Each room had comfortable beds, and everyone in the party said they slept well. Towels were soft and fluffy, not scratchy, which was a big plus. The bathrooms featured a double shower head and ample hanging space; the toilets were bright and even gave a chuckle. The main living area offered plenty of seating—from cozy sofas to quirky bar stools—arranged so large groups could mingle without being split up. The large dining table with bench seating was perfect for games, meals, or chatting. Lighting fixtures and décor added fun touches that made the space enjoyable. The property is very central, just a minute’s walk from Booths (supermarket) and a few minutes into the village. It’s a quirky, beautiful place with many lovely features—we’d return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in Windermere. Host Amanda was extremely accommodating, happy to help with any requests. We couldn’t have asked for more.

“Brilliant apartment, quirky and central!”

The apartment was fantastic for everything we needed—location was brilliant right in the centre of Windermere, quirky and spacious communal area, and everything was clean and tidy. Beds were so comfy too. The host was very helpful, friendly, and responsive—we will definitely stay again. Lakes Boutique! The only downside is that there is no overnight parking available at the property. I think there are some laybys nearby, but we couldn’t find them, so we had to park 10 minutes walk away at the Bridge St car park, which was just under £20 per car for 24 hours. We expected this anyway, so it wasn’t an issue, but it would have been a bonus.

The apartment was nice, location great. The host was extremely unprofessional and rude. She handled a payment misunderstanding (we added extra guests and didn’t realise it would be £40 per night per extra child) by ignoring my messages, then offered a discount as a gesture of goodwill before demanding the full price with no explanation, hours before we were due to stay, refusing us access if we didn’t pay. On this basis I would not recommend staying here.
