JamesUnited KingdomEnjoyed the stay it was our 57th wedding anniversary.
Breakfast was great.
Finding out the overall cost, after paying £410 then finding I had to pay an extra £60 for breakfast and £165 for dinner and drinks. I should have booked a different way but being 80 I got things…

Does Windermere Hillthwaite Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Windermere Hillthwaite Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
