Macdonald Old England Hotel and Spa

Great location, friendly/helpful staff. Fine views from the bar and restaurant. Parking is expensive at £20 per night. Room was clean and decent, but overall it’s a little bit tired, with Wetherspoons-like carpet, worn paintwork, creaky doors etc. It could certainly do with a spruce up. Spa was very good.

The Macdonald Old England Hotel is well situated, being just a stones throw from the lakeside and the shops in Bowness. The staff are friendly and obliging and the service matches their attitude. The breakfasts are fine, although the staff can sometimes be a bit slow in replenishing the tureens. We did not use the Spa, so we cannot comment on that. Overall, we found the hotel to have all the facilities that we were lookling for and we would be happy to stay there again.

Excellent visit room food and experience was 10 out of 10 from start to finish

It’s a little bit frustrating that we can just see a small window in the lark view room..

Everything was perfect except the gym… the gym is dated and all the equipment is falling apart

Enjoyed my stay at the hotel, it was very comfortable and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful

amazing hotel oozing with charm,

Great experience at one of the best hotels in the lake districts. Stylish hotel with magnificent views overseeing Windermere. Will definitely revisit again in future.

Very nice hotel. And good services. Beautiful views. You must love it
