Low Wood Hotel, Windermere

Advantages: Very good Hotel, great service
Disadvantages: In the wrong place.

...Just back from a weekend Jaunt to Ireland. We flew Ryanair Eastmidlands to Shannon, £38 return (No hold luggage and online checkin). We booked the Oakwood Arms at Shannon, this was mainly as our return flight was 09:30 Monday morning and we did not want to get up early to travel. We booked it thru LATEROOMS.COM for 85 Euros a night for Double room with Buffet Breakfast. Ireland seems to be pricey for Hotels, so this was not too bad (We do cheaper when we go Venice). We had hired a Car so after picking that up it was just a 10 min Drive into Shannon and the Hotel. First Impressions were very good, better than most of the reviews we had read. Its a low level building on the edge of Shannon, not that there's much in the middle of Shannon, just seems to be a Housing Estate. Checkin looks very smart and professional... Read review

Disadvantages: set on steep hill

...signs displayed stating this is a no smoking hotel and on entrance there is no lingering smell of smoke at all. The conservatory has numerous displays of tourist leaflets, as well as magazines aplenty, three sets of very comfy conservatory sofas and chairs and an elegant chess board set out for guest?s enjoyment. The view is of the Fells and Lake Windermere from this room. From here, you walk through a door into the hallway, and reception is through another door to your left. It is a small reception, as it is situated in the bar area, where afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks can be served. Staff were friendly and polite, explaining that the table allocated for the evening meal that night, if we were staying, would be our allocated table throughout our stay. We were asked, again very politely, that whilst the Hillthwaite... Read review

Advantages: Swimming Pool,Lovely Views,Excellent food
Disadvantages: Some of the rooms are getting a bit tired but they are working on this

...Located in a beautiful spot on the shores of lake Windermere with large windows on the lake side overlooking it. I got married here and had a fantastic day the hotel really made it, not just with the views but the level of service was extremely good and everyone said that the food was the best they had had at a wedding before. The Wordsworth suite which we used as our honeymoon suite for a few nights is out of this world although isn,t cheap, you have your own private door to the pool, garden overlooking the lake with hot tub, massive bed, remote control curtains well worth it if you fancy treating yourselves. All in all The Beach Hill Hotel is well worth a look, its only a taxi ride away from Bowness but is nice if you want to stay in-house and dine and chill a bit, and I would highly recomend it as a wedding venue....
