Location beautiful. Upgraded which was a lovely surprise as it was my husbands birthday. Food amazing staff so nice 2 lads in the bar sorry forgot their names but were lovely to be honest all staff were really nice 👍

Scenic and quiet yet close to restaurants/shops.
A stunning idyllic country house within an outstanding landscape. Beautifully decorated with all the period pieces and finishes which give it that extra special charm- the fireplaces are amazingly inviting and the guest areas are nicely laid out and comfortable. The Staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming- making you feel at home and well looked after. There is such a lovely relaxed atmosphere you really feel the warmth and coziness of the place. The food was wonderful and presented with care and style! The best pancotta I have ever eaten!
There was nothing we did not like.
Lovely anniversary night at this quiet little haven of calm a few minutes out of Windermere-Broadacres has a quirky liitte charm of its own which we loved Staff friendly and polite-especially Jake and also Laurence the chef( lovely plaice sir)-dinner was excellent even on a very quiet night we were not rushed at all The suite we stayed in was clean and at last a proper powerful shower! Happily stay here again
Hard to say!-maybe a mini fridge would be useful?-stairs to suite lit a little more but im just being picky!-
Outside hot tub was great

Quiet, lively rooms, clean, nice food and breakfast and loved the little Robin visiting every morning

Fabulous hotel, lovely warm welcome when checking in, accommodation amazing staying in Rippledean Lodge. Set away from the main building on the edge of a wooded valley and the water fall in the valley which could hear from the lodge. It was beautifully furninshed, comfy bed and well equipped with a great big spa bath/ shower. Outside seating area. Breakfast was great, lots of choice from the hot cooked order menu or buffet breakfast and continental. All the staff we meet where friendly and house keeping very attentive. Excellent connection to the local roads and Lake District areas. Would recommend and definitely be back in the future.
Wifi could be better not very stable and intermittent connection.
Cosy, stunning interior and exterior and friendly staff
I died and went to heaven staying here. If your looking for a romantic beautiful hotel then this is it. The grounds are gorgeous and the room was amazing with a huge step in jaccuzi bath. I didn’t want to go home. Staff were also amazing and helpful.
Nothing
The location and the idea of the lodge is nice in theory…
In reality the the very small lodge was far too cramped for a family of four
Cosy, clean and very accommodating staff.
Everything was great
Lovely country house. Very relaxing and traditional
Nothing
Amazing hotel , fantastic & helpful staff Very clean . Every detail was perfect Highly recommend
Nothing negative at all
First impressions are the drive into this beautiful hotel. You are then greeted by Taran or Fran. Both happy, smiley people who make you feel so welcome! We were given keys to our room, which was clean, tidy & fresh. The view from this hotel is stunning! Its peaceful, quiet & very tranquil. Breakfast every morning was hot & fresh, there are plenty of options & we tried it all, loved it! A mention to Mikey who we had a great time talking with. Taran & Fran gave friendly advise on which local areas are good to check out. From their recommendations, me & my partner had an amazing few days away! Highly recommend staying at this beautiful place, with the best staff i’ve ever encountered
Nothing
The location is excellent and beautiful setting.
The food was disappointing. The worst of it was being served gone off oat milk at breakfast for my baby and I, resulting in a sleepless night. A lot of the staff seemed new to hospitality.
Goede kamers prima omgeving.
Fantastic experience for the price, location is stunning and the lodge we were in (Rippledean) was lovely. Corner jacuzzi bath a nice addition! Food was delicious as well, all round 10/10 stay in a wonderful part of the Lake District.

I reseved a room with Spa tub,but I was given a room without a Spa tub, three days talking to the reception to change the room but they did nothing. They are totally not cooperative. Nothing luxury as a five star hotel ! The toilet was small ,the washing basin in the toilet was very tiny as if it was for children! Couldn’t brush or wash without spraying water on floor , it doesn’t fit two hands!! Strange for five star hotel . no fridge, no bath robes , no slippers , the hair dryer was small folding one , No view for the lake. This hotel is far from the lake.
Very clean - friendly staff - amazing breakfast

the water fountain and staff the staff were so friendly and funny and lovely to interact with

We arrived early and they were very accommodating, we had booked an afternoon tea which was fantastic and we even had a visitor in the form of a Robin....all in all an excellent quality hotel.
The bath needs a handle to assist getting in and out. Point passed on to the hotel .
Quiet area
The location
Cobwebs, cold food Overpriced, not what I expected
The grounds the hotel was in was like paradise all the flowers the lawns were nip clean, the hotel was fabulous, we were allocated a room with the gacuzi bath it was class with TV built into the wall in bathroom We are definitely going back ASAP, staff couldn't do enough, THANKS
الموقع في منطقه خضراء ومرتفعه ، الفطور
عدم اريحية الموظفين وبالاخص في الاستقبال ، عدم توفر حافلات بالقرب من الفندق
The garden lodge was great, had your own fenced off garden. Breakfast was great also.
Nothing we didn’t like. A fridge could be useful :)
Great location to explore the Lakes; lovely and very helpful staff
Nothing in particular
This venue was absolutely full of history and stunning . The staff were friendly and professional also

Alles was top! We hadden enkel en alleen maar een wow gevoel! Meer dan tevreden
Staff are so helpful. The site is absolutely beautiful and the night time view is gorgeous with all the lights.
Not enough mirrors in our little Folly cabin (3 sisters for two evenings!) we need more mirrors haha But the receptionist helped which was so lovely.
The place itself is beautiful, lovely grounds and room ‘Yew’ was perfect for my birthday getaway, we had afternoon tea which was delicious, the staff are great very friendly and attentive, it’s spotlessly clean and I recommend it highly to anyone, what a fantastic stay and a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Very comfortable. Amazing shower. Amazing breakfast. Amazingly comfortable bed. Super friendly staff. Very good value for money
Nothing
Location and decor . Great team on reception and bar .
Breakfast on second day. Staff didn’t appear to be looking after guests. Ran out of beans and sausages and staff never checked on this. Gave up in the end. Wasn’t alone as other guests went short too. Food great quality though . A shame as great chef and lovely place .
Beautiful hotel, and surroundings. View was amazing. Peaceful & a comfortable stay. Booked for my partners birthday, the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Welcoming & polite. We had the boudoir room. Beautiful spacious comfy room with lovely view. The staff made my partners birthday with a special birthday card, Prosecco & chocolate coated strawberries. (Special thank you to Taron, staff member) Breakfast was tasty & plentiful. We didn’t stay for dinner, but would definitely try next time. Location was great, quiet, peaceful & gorgeous views of countryside. Not far from Windermere & Ambleside easy to get to. Might try one of the lodges next time with our dog. Great stay, wonderful place & memories made. Broadoaks we will be back. Thank you 😊

The location is beautiful

A beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Excellent staff, comfortable clean rooms and great breakfast.
There was nothing negative 😊
Mikey the receptionist is just amazing , he needs pay rise he’s so helpful caring and funny your staff do your hotel huge justice
The fan was rubbish but that’s all
The room (The Boudoire) was sumptuous, clean and comfortable.
TV didn't work on day we left, not the end of the world! Breakfast little chaotic when busy.
Very accommodating staff and in a beautiful setting close to lake Windermere
Nothing
Nice and cozy
We were upgraded - room was stunning as were the grounds. The staff were amazing-nothing was too much trouble. Location was great as were the hotel grounds. Breakfast was fab too. Do not hesitate to book-great value for money.
All fabulous.
We absolutely loved our stay. The hotel is beautifully maintained and you can tell that every detail has been carefully thought through. Our room was stunning, tastefully refurbished, and felt luxurious while still being warm and welcoming. The restaurant was another highlight. The food was of an exceptionally high standard, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We especially appreciated the soft background music - it was elegant, never too loud, and created a truly relaxing ambience. The whole property has a genuine boutique feel that brings a real sense of peace and tranquillity. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we only wish we could have stayed longer.
There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like. The only thing future guests should be aware of is that the hotel is located a little outside Windermere, so you’ll need a car if you want to explore the village or the surrounding area. If you enjoy stretching your legs, we would definitely recommend walking up the hill towards the YHA hostel, where you’ll be rewarded with beautiful views. However, there aren’t many walking routes that start directly from the hotel itself, so it’s worth planning ahead if you enjoy longer walks.
The food was excellent
Dark bedroom and dogs, which was disappointing as we chose this hotel because it stated dogs not allowed. This is an important consideration for me as I have an allergy to pet hair. When we arrived the hotel sign said Dog Friendly - not what we expected.
Location was great.
Felt a little tired. We were in one of the cabins rather than the main house, it felt a little neglected and needed a clean.
Gorgeous and spacious room, amazing shower, beautiful location, wonderful food. After travelling around Scotland and the Lake District for 5 days, this was by far our favourite stay.
Nothing
Staff extremely helpful. Room very clean and nicely furnished. Good breakfast. The grounds of the hotel are spectacular and need to emphasise this more - great selling point.
The approach road to the hotel is a narrow country lane. We met a wagon and had to reverse a long way to enable us to pass.
The staff were very friendly and helpful from the minute we walked in the door, to checking out time. They made our 1 night stay very nice and relaxing, and they made it special as it was our wedding anniversary and my birthday. The evening meal and breakfast were both exceptional. Really lovely food, fresh and cooked perfectly. The room was lovely and spacious, and it had everything we needed. The jacuzzi bath was a lovely addition. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds, very scenic and nice for a little wander after dinner. We loved our time here so much we have actually said that we will 100% be back again for another stay!!!
We found that we couldn't turn the temperature down in the shower, so the water was quite hot. However, that might have been us not being able to work the controls properly.
Location quiet and peaceful. Room very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast wasn't hot. Staff not very helpful.
Beautiful country house in a breathtaking quiet location not far from Windermere, surrounded by well kept gardens. Friendly helpful staff and a snug but comfortable room, recently decorated. Beds were comfortable with high quality bed linen and great pillows. Bath towels, shampoo and soap were all top quality Good choice of freshly prepared food for breakfast.
The bathroom was very small indeed. Hardly room to move.
Room _ Better equip with mini fringe.
Absolutely beautiful stay couldn’t have asked for somewhere better to stay whilst at the lakes was perfect!
The Retreat was very comfortable and good value for money it was second stay there
Nothing
Beautiful location
Lack of gluten free options at breakfast
Beautiful location, helpful, polite and professional staff, comfy beds, great breakfast and rooms decorated in a modern way but with aesthetics that suit the age of the building. We stayed in the room that is situated above the main entrance with a view over then water fountain and down the drive. It was lovely listening to the water gently trickling and a wind in the trees.
The only two slight complaints are that on the particular day we checked in, it had been 30 degrees and the room unbearably hot, it would have been a good idea for the staff to open the windows for air flow prior to guest arrivals. The lighting was also very dim with some flickering bulbs, this could be addressed easily.
Great location, Great hotel with such lovely staff
Jacuzzi wasn’t working and the Tv kept switching off, but it was no big deal
We booked the garden sweet so able to park your car right beside you and total peace and quiet
Don't think I could find a fault perfect for my stay
Extremely pleased with Broadoaks Boutique Country House. The Hotel and grounds were lovely, the room very clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The breakfast very good. Thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely return. The staff were very friendly and pleasant.
Nice little place in Cumbria
Nice friendly staff
Poor breakfast choice
Location was lovely
Beautiful location and peaceful.
The whole experience from arriving clean, beautiful design privacy.
Not a thing! its amazing
Bella struttura immersa nel verde. Camera spaziosa
Colazione misera e poco varia
The staff were very attentive, especially those from Stockport! Able to answer any questions I had while being personable and a good laugh.
Nothing! Everything was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Just what you need.
Very clean, friendly staff and the water bowl and blanket provided for the dog
There was nothing,
A nice peaceful location with lovely views and we were given a free room upgrade upon arrival, which was very nice of them.
A bit too far to walk to a pub
This is a lovely hotel, off the beaten track and yet minutes to Windermere. Staff are lovely and the hotel and food exceptional.
Surroundings beautiful. Staff very friendly.
Everything perfect
Excellent food as we had ordered vegan breakfast and it was delicious 😋
We booked Broadoaks as my hubby was competing in the Great North Swim and was close by. Room was lovely. Everything you need for an overnight stay and a fabulous shower. We paid for breakfast and were offered a "grab and go" bacon/sausage bun as it was an early start for us. Fantastic. We'll be back next year.
We arrived early before check in and spoke to the lady on reception. We had looked at the restaurant menu online and decided to go into the village. We were not aware of the guest menu for 4 courses including a bottle of wine as we would have booked a table when checking in
La casa principal y los jardines son espectaculares
El cuerto nuestro era un poco chico, pero estaba bien
Our room was very nice and we loved the spa bath.
I told it’s my husband’s birthday. I booked that hotel as treat for him. No birthday surprise was there in room. Hotel must do little extra either chocolate or maroon with happy birthday message or any nice thing for nice gesture would be nice. Never mind it’s just feedback
Comfortable cabin
My ‘room’ was a cabin at the bottom of the hotel driveway. No chef’s on site for dinner even though I had rung on booking to reserve a table Couldnt have any breakfast as chef doesn’t start work until 8am, unfortunately I had to leave to go to my own work for 7.45am. When I tried to explain to staff, I was told to use the corner bath jacuzzi and relax. I tried that and the jacuzzi function doesnt work - no bubbles for me! TV needs logins to Netflix, Iplayer, ITV X etc - without them, you can’t access anything. Couldn’t check out as main door to hotel was locked at 7.45am so I had no way of getting to hotel reception. I left the room key on the outside windowsill and hoped for the best! No idea what I’ve have done if there had been an emergency in the night, I didnt even know the hotel door was locked - yet I was placed at the bottom of the driveway. None of this information was available on booking, on the hotel website or booking.com
Lovely Hotel, good quality bedding and room, Nice breakfast.
Restuarant closed, no explanation was disappointing, We arrived at 2.45 so sat on terrace with a couple of other arrivals not expecting to check in until 3. No staff around, except there was one man, I assumed manager who made no attempt to engage or talk to anybody in fact ignore all of us was rude in my opinion. Not the gtreeting one usually gets in fact he hardly spoke when we saw him on reception the next day. Manners cost nothing, to be polite to guests is a fundamental part of hospitality surely. Thank fully the Girl that arrived on reception and the breakfast waiter were both engaging and very polite.
Peaceful, comfortable night Excellent breakfast Friendly, helpful staff
I mentioned to staff Inconvenient plugs in bedroom for kettle, charging phone Need a shelf, fitted cupboard in bathroom for wash bags Loose glass on bedside table
Warm, cosy, beautiful bedrooms, great breakfast!!
Love everything about this hotel
Can’t imagine anyone can find any fault here
The location was absolutely brilliant, a great base for exploring the Lake District. The staff were brilliant - super helpful and very friendly. The breakfast was great. We stayed in one of the lodges which were away from the main hotel so very quiet and peaceful.
Our room was dated and there were some areas that could have been cleaned better - for example above the shower was some mould. The skylight in the bathroom didn’t have a blind and it let in a lot of light early morning.
Sehr schönes , gediegenes Hotel mit eibem guteb Restaurant und sehr freundlichen und aufmerksamen Mitarbeiter. Werden gerne wiederkommen
Beautiful location, not too far out the way
Friendly staff. Great location
Power failure
I thought the location and the accommodation was amazing definitely recommend
I didn't find anything that I did not like I thought the staff l, breakfast and accommodation were outstanding and very welcoming I will definitely be coming back
Lovely hotel. staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Lovely dinner and breakfast . Pretty garden to walk round. Plenty of hot water in huge bath.
Dining room is a bit bare but food delicious. Our mattress was a bit soft for our liking.
Extremely peaceful, well thought out layout of the garden lodge. Warmed up really quick! TV opposite the spa bath was a lovely added touch.
There wasn't anything I didn't like but it would have been even better if there was a small coffee machine in the room instead of the instant sachets. Also at breakfast, would have preferred some more coffee options than just filter coffee. Continental was quite basic but great hot choice.
