Review of 21 The Lakes, Windermere

Very misleading photography on the website makes this place appear like a boutique hotel - sadly the reality is very different! The rooms were poor quality with stains on the (well trodden) carpets, peeling wallpaper, & curtain poles hanging perilously from the wall from loose plaster. Rude staff & poor quality food will certainly guarantee a disappointing stay! Don't bother complaining either, you'll be wasting your breath as the manager is arrogant & dismissive.
