Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

Location was perfect, room was amazing with views over lake, dinner was really good, the spa area was nice n relaxing

Location was excellent, room was very good, staff were friendly and helpful, swimming pool was great and lovely changing rooms. The breakfast was nice. Bed was comfortable.

The location of the hotel is perfect for your visit to Lake Windemere, with an car park nearby for guests. We loved the family room, which included bunk beds. It was nice for our son to have his own space in the bunk bed nook, along with his own TV. The large hotel bar area offers beautiful views across the lake, and the grassy terrace outside is a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of town. We didn't have any spa treatments, but did enjoy access to the swimming pool.

Magnificent views from many rooms and from the lounge and restaurant. Spotless rooms thanks to Fay and Erica and the excellent housekeeping team. Exceptionally helpful staff taking my parents' mobility into account helping us find the right room, parking, being patient when they couldn't hear or decide on things- thank you Cherrie in reservations, Ahmed, Kelly and Keelan on reception, John the concierge, Kai in the restaurant and Martin & Lorraine in the lounge. All of your hard work is so much appreciated. A la carte food substantially more interesting (and more expensive) than table d'hote which doesn't change. Lovely pool & spa but last entry is before 6 which means that you can't get in if you go out for the day.
