“This adults-only retreat impressed me with its blend of historical charm and a prime spot in Windermere; being mere steps from both the town and the lake makes it ideal for exploring. The fact it's adults only gives it a tranquility that's hard to find in such a central location, and I appreciate the generous breakfasts, and how they go the extra mile for those with specific dietary needs. I was particularly struck by the attention to detail - small fridges, parking passes - it's clear they prioritize guest comfort.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cambridge House offers a superb central location, making it easy to walk to Windermere's shops and restaurants, with a handy bus stop nearby for exploring further afield, like boat trips from Lake Windermere to Ambleside. Guests appreciate the building's beautiful stone facade and the convenience of having a fridge in the room; plus, some rooms feature microwaves. While a few guests have noted occasional issues with amenities like sufficient toilet paper or the presence of a microwave as advertised, many find the rooms clean, comfortable, and suitable for bringing a dog, especially with a lovely park just around the corner.

easy accessmoldy beddingtwo flights
the location provided easy access to town. the stone building had a certain charm.
an alternative room was provided, but it was not suitable for three people, forcing my daughter and i to carry a mattress up two flights of stairs. my son spent the night sneezing due to the moldy bedding. Quite the experience.

amazing stay!

perfect locationclean roomcozy atmospheretoilet paper
The location is perfect. Everything i wanted to see was just a short walk away! the room was spotlessly clean and decorated nicely, feel so cozy and cute. i really felt at home here!
there was only one roll of toilet paper in my room, and no refill ! i had to contact the housekeeper to get more, a bit inconvenient. it would be great to have a backup roll readily available.
