Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location was excellent. Clean room and decent size.
Parking is a bit hit and miss for free parking.
Très propre et lits confortables Bien placé (en bus du bus et a 8mn à pied de la gare) Cuisine commune très propre et fonctionnelle Personnel réactif en cas de besoin
Rien
J’ai apprécié avoir ma propre salle de bain et d’avoir une cuisine pour pouvoir réchauffer ou faire à manger. Il juste à côté de plusieurs établissement (café, pharmacie, supermarchés, …) et il y a plusieurs arrêts de bus à proximité
Il me semblait que le petit déjeuner était compris, mais apparement pas.
Excellent location, clean and comfortable room, easy check-in, and friendly hosts. Great value for money and within walking distance of shops, restaurants
Carrying our large luggage up the narrow stairs was a bit challenging, but overall we had a great experience and enjoyed our stay
I liked the cleanliness, the facilities, the location.
Nothing I disliked
De locatie is vlak bij het centrum
De brandveiligheid is zeer twijfelachtig. Branddeuren zijn vastgezet dus zullen bij brand niet dichtgaan.
Air conditioning
No air conditioning and poor facilities
Perfect location, beautiful cosy and clean room. Everything what’s needed for comfortable stay with great money value!
I liked everything :)
The room was much smaller than expected
rooms too small, cramped, washroom aslo cramped. charging extra for laudry/washing machine use
Good value, clean, good location for Windermere town
No dedicated parking; a little too warm on the 2nd floor
windermere center, self-check in and everything is well organized. Kitchen, bathroom, all good, a pleasant stay.
Very clean, great location, easy to check-in, good value.
The mattress on the bed was so soft it curved in the middle. This was a twin in a double/twin room. It was fine for three nights; just not my favorite.
Clean and very comfortable bed
Nothing
Nothing, needs shutting down. Pictures do not look like this property.
Everything. Dirt on the carpet, dirt on the walls, dirty light switch, mould on the window, and a door that didn’t close properly. Did not feel safe enough to stay here due to a door that doesn’t close fully. Left immediately and booked elsewhere for the night. Contacted property on the day to give them a chance to rectify - 3 days later still no response. 33 weeks pregnant so cleanliness and security are a massive priority.
We loved that the host were very kind and how clean the entire place was. Any enquiries we had were immediately responded to and on the whole it was a very nice and comfortable stay.
N/A
Facilities adequate. We went out local for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Takeaway ok.
Shower drain smelled earthy - needed drain cleaner application. (not available in room of coarse) Fire Alarm system did not indicate which zone was where. There were chain hammers provided for the break glass units, these were not needed for the modern bgc units fitted. No fire-breaks per landing (no sealing doors).
The room was lovely and the location was excellent, near to all bars and cafes.
It has a great location, short walk from most places. A couple of doors down there is a wonderful restaurant called Hooked. The beds were comfy, however the bedding was stained.
Dated, poor decor and not throughly clean.
One thing I didn’t like is that at midnight, I could smell another guest cooking in the Guest House kitchen. It was very unpleasant while we were trying to sleep.
Everything was great.
Beautiful room and very conveniently located
All
Nothing
Only I worried about the price paid 500 pounds and we have a space walk in between the beds and rooom with no storage
Na
The location.
The room was small and there was a lack of facilities.
I like that its situated in a convenient place next to the bus stop and many restaurants.
Nothing in particular.
Reasonably clean rooms and a handy kitchen.
Clean
Spacious clean and superb location
The kitchen setup was really great
It was not as close to the lake as we hoped, but in tourist season it might be good to be away from that.
It was clean and close to shops. Parking easy across the street in public car park with a small charge. Great kitchen facility to be able to cook a small meal.
The shower was very small and tight.
Enjoyed our stay, right in centre where we wanted to be, bed really comfortable bedding lovely and soft. Good shower. Toiletries available and fresh towels.
Only miner would of liked a spoon for making our coffee and tea got them wooden sticks. and probably few more tea bags sugar and coffees but other than that really pleasant stay we definitely will stay again and would recommend..
Staff helpful. Bus stop outside and shops very close.
Very tired decor the bed was awful. The entrance was dirty and didn’t look welcoming. There’s a delivery depot next door with truck fridges running
Pleasant, comfortable and reasonably priced accomodation close to train station and local buses. Plenty of eating and drinking options close by. Would definitely consider when staying in The Lakes again.
All very good enjoyed our stay
The place was clean, it was comfortable and warm the kitchen was usable but for the price it's not a b&b just a room to sleep and a kitchen for all to use it's nothing special for the price. In my opinion for what it is it should have been cheaper.
The location was excellent, it was only 5 mins walk from the windermere railway station.
Nothing as such
The room was clean and in a good location. The common kitchen was really well equipped. Full marks for this. House keeping is good. Felt safe.
The room was cold and there is no heating even when it is cold due to constant rain. Also the room was on the ground floor right next to the road. Whole night it was noisy due to vehicles and people parking right outside the window. The windows are partially covered as it is next to the road. So if you sit in a chair, you can see nothing other than the window and ceiling. Sorry for this. But still I say, my stay was good.
Great location Cute room
Lots of stairs
Great location. Daily room service. On site managers willing to assist if needed. Washing and drying machine very appreciated when on the road for an extended time.
Great location but the room was off, there were a number of stains and marks across the walls, wallpaper peeling in corners, dust and cobwebs. We were told the carpets were ‘damp’ due to cleaning prior to our visit, but were surprised at the stale smell of our room, didnt reflect this.
Aside from the shower being average, this place wasnt enjoyable. I would’ve much rather have paid abit extra for a clean and fresh room. We also had a couple above us arguing very loudly past 11PM at night. I know that’s not the hosts fault, but bear this in mind when booking.
The room is nice and clean. The position is good which is not far from the train station.
3 bed room okay for one or two. Near the city centre. Equipped with everything you need. Lots of flyers for activities and information.
When you walk in, you’re immediately hit with the smell of chlorine. The room itself had a damp, musty odor, almost mouldy. The bathroom was even worse, even though no visible mould could be seen apart from the window area, which is hard to repaint. The towels were covered with small hairs and lint, and when you tried to dry off, they stuck uncomfortably to the skin. Luckily, I had brought my own towel.
位置離市區真的很近 超市走兩三分鐘就到了 有廚房洗衣機可以用
1)下面的兒童床沒有整理,棉被翻開還有頭髮 水瓶。 2)地毯『非常濕』,雖然反應後有拿吸塵器處理,但是還是很濕,整個房間都是潮濕的味道。
Great location, very charming structure
Needs a good cleaning, mold in the bathroom, no staff physically present, hotel WiFi wasn’t working. Among the several places we’ve stayed in the U.K. This place was a true disappointment.
Location was good
Our room was on the bottom floor so we could hear absolutely everything. People coming and going front door banging closed. Feel with a quick fix front door would close better and not bang shut every single time someone came in. The tv doesn’t work. Room smelt damp and carpet smelt damp too. Single glazed windows I could hear McClures at stupid o’clock felt like they were in the room with me. Not worth the money we paid at all. I feel the money they have got and getting from people they could fix some of the issues they have. Really disappointed and the fact there was NO one around I could not talk to anyone about it.
Location
I could not sleep for even a minute during my stay because of the terrible mattresses. Every time I moved, it felt like I was bouncing on a trampoline. We book a hotel expecting comfort and a good night’s sleep, but unfortunately this was the opposite. Very disappointing experience.
Bed bugs. So many bed bugs - Room5
Amazing location right in the centre of Windermere. Nice clean room. Great shared kitchen facilities. Easy self check in. We had a great stay here, will certainly consider returning. Thank you
Beds were slightly small
My mother-in-law booked this room last minute for us as we had travelled to the Lake District and had been let down by another property we had booked. The photos of the property looked nice. It was only after booking that I read the reviews. I was not looking forward to the booking, but it was getting late, we were running out of options and the room was very reasonably priced. This is my honest review of Rayrigg Villa After booking, I was sent a pass code to access the property. Upon entering, there was a very faint musty smell in the hall. Not too strong. Our room was room 5 at the very top of the house. I was pleasantly surprised just how lovely the room was. Nicely decorated, nice bedding, it had everything you would need. 2 bedside lamps, a t.v. kettle, tea and coffee etc. A hair dryer, a fan, an iron and ironing board. An ensuite.There was a shared kitchen, with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer that guests were welcome to use. The place was spotless. Our bedroom was at the back of the house so we didn't hear much traffic. It had a bus stop( we don't drive), right opposite the property. It is in a convenient position for shops, bars and restaurants and for travelling around the Lake District. I honestly don't know why it had bad reviews? Although they were from 23/24. I can honestly say that I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Nothing.
Location
This was nor a problem for us but in a hot spell of weather I can see that without air conditioning the small room could get very uncomfortable.
Close to grocery, restaurants and train station
I started to have some itchyness every time I laid in the bed. However,when I check the sheets and blanket it’s been clean.
The location was beautiful
Very small tired room in need of revamp smelt very damp beds very tired and in need of replacing struggled to sleep as mattress was bigger then bed base so felt as tho you were going to fall off hallways also smelt damp and in need of a upgrade bathroom was tiny and the water pressure wasn’t great coming from the shower dirty shower mat. No wardrobe just a few hooks to hang clothes Even though the whole building is none smoking we kept getting a very strong smell of someone smoking weed ( cannabis). Rooms look nothing like advertised,electric shower box was lower then the shower head accident waiting to happen the whole place needs a deep clean
Kitchen & Laundry service inc. available wash powder. Clean bed. Living room area in downstairs room family room. Location. Bikes safe space.
Downstairs room needs a new carpets sorry to say. Room is a little bit damp 😔 but lovely space if you’re not too tall😉
店主人很好,厨房很干净
房间比较小
Salina was very nice, friendly and an excellent host. She was very very accommodating and considerate of our needs.
None
The location was brilliant, the room was just enough for us and was clean and tidy.
Nothing.
Good central location and fine for a short stay. Good comms from the owner and easy independent entry.
The cellar room is dated, lacks natural light and smells musty although does offer space and It was clean and presentable. I wouldn’t recommend this room for any longer than a 2 night stay.
Great location, clean room, good value for money, clear communication by message.
No safe luggage storage - just that we could leave our bags in the shared kitchen. Then, when I returned to collect my luggage, there was a terribly rude man who spoke no English. He tried to shut the front door onto my body and only let me in because I barged past him. He then was extremely rude while I went to collect my luggage and food - following me around the room and being very gruff, and shut the front door very abruptly behind me when I left. Also the rooms are very small so be aware of that, especially if you have suitcases. The bathroom is TINY: the sink is unusably tiny and the shower is very small too. The bathroom needs renovation as well, as it is not in great condition.
The property was easy to find, the room was clean and well presented.
Check in process - the code was not sent prior to arrival despite following instructions in the message received, but was sent promptly when requested. The room smelt and felt damp, however there was no sign of damp on walls or any visible mould. They tried to cover this by having a gas radiator on prior to arrival but it made the room too hot to be comfortable at this time of year.
