The Ravensworth Guest House

a very beautiful hotel, staff are friendly and informative

Reviewed on Facebook

My partner and I stayed here on a travelzoo deal and were not disappointed. The deal included afternoon tea on arrival. We couldn’t believe how much we got. The sandwiches were full of egg, ham and mustard and tuna. There was also scones with jam and cream and a slice of walnut cake each. We also had the choice of tea and coffee. The staff were very polite and helpful. The room was lovely and, although facing the road, was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious too with plenty of choice for hot and cold food. The hotel is right at the top of Windermere and takes a couple of minutes to reach the shop, restaurants and pubs. You can also have a casual walk to Bowness which takes about half and hour. I would definitely recommend The Ravensworth and would stay there again next we are in Windermere.| More...

Stayed here for a couple of nights, room was excellent, en suite nice and clean, hotel in great location for a short walk into Windermere town for food drink & shopping, would certainly book again if visiting this location.

Great location. Quiet with free car parking. Has an independent feel, given a tour and a key to the room and the same opens the front door. You can go and come as required. Staffed only at intervals. Not luxurious but clean and adequate for a short stay in Windermere. More...

Just had a 4 night stay here and thoroughly recommend this hotel. We only had the basic double room but it was more than adequate for us. Afternoon tea included on day of arrival. We booked via Travelzoo which proved to be a good deal as it included breakfast, otherwise breakfast is £10 per person. Onsite parking is free. Windermere town centre is only a couple of hundred yards away with a few cafes, restaurants pubs etc. Staff all friendly without being intrusive. Will stay again next time we are in the Lakes.

What a charming place to stay! The Ravensworth is a very short walk from Windermere rail station. It's a beautiful grey stone building with so much character. We were greeted very warmly on arrival and given our key early so we were able to go off and wander and return straight to our room later that afternoon. We stayed in one of the annexe rooms and it was absolutely fantastic. The room itself was very spacious. The fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard and the addition of a bottle of water, chocolates and biscuits alongside the tea and coffee was very welcome and much appreciated. The storage facilities for clothes etc was excellent. The bathroom was also spacious with a huge shower cubicle and incredible power shower. The cleanliness and quality throughout was incredible. Another thing which we appreciated was the fantastic central heating which made the room super cosy and didn't turn off unexpectedly too early (as in many other establishments). The towelling dressing gowns were so much appreciated too. In addition to a spacious and very lovely room, the annexe rooms have their own small outdoor courtyard/patio area - unheard of in a guest house! The weather was absolutely perfect during our stay, although a little chilly, but we enjoyed the outdoor space too. We didn't have breakfast during our stay as we rarely eat much until late morning but the facilities looked beautiful. The dining area was lovely and it led out onto a lovely patio/balcony which we'll definitely explore further on our next visit. There is also a guest lounge which is very homely and has lovely sofas to sit and read and games/books to borrow. There is also another guest lounge with a coffee machine. All in all The Ravensworth is by far the very best guest house we have ever stayed in - not just in the Lakes - and we will definitely return. Thank you for an excellent mini break. As seasoned Lakes Lovers we can't wait to come back. More...

Booked on room only basis after looking on TripAdvisor. This place exceeded our expectations, free parking right at the door and so handy for the bars, shops and restaurants. Room large with lots of extras which we really appreciated. Bottle of water, couple if wine glasses, tea, coffee and biscuits and a wee chocolate to top things off. Also dressing gowns and slippers in a wonderful large walk in shower with free toiletries. Building looks quite old, and decor is good, host very welcoming. Would definitely go back. More...

Three night visit during a Bank Holiday weekend, but I never felt rushed by the friendly staff, and Nick gave good advice on getting around to various sites. The town was only a short walk, with the train and bus stations even closer. My room was spacious, and very clean and quiet. I really enjoyed the view from the pretty, glassed-in breakfast room - the perfect calm start for busy days. More...

Have stayed here many times. Quiet and convenient, no problem parking. Room was clean, just a couple of glitches (blocked sink and loose loo seat) which were attended to when reported. We were a little disappointed with the breakfast as we have always had a full English on previous visits but this isn’t available any more. The Ravensworth seems to have changed a little since our last visit, doesn’t seem as homely. The lady who was in charge was very friendly and helpful. More...

No problem parking. Really pleasant greeting by the owners. Room was as expected, clean and bed was comfy. We were impressed with the tea making facilities and extras in the room. Lounge room was clean, tidy and nice as a place to meet family before we left. It was a flying visit so we didn't stay for breakfast, but the conservatory looked appealing. The hotel is in a great location, really handy to walk into Windermere and only a short drive to Ambleside. Would definitely return to this B&B. More...

Took a 4 day trip to Windermere so my daughter could attend a birthday party, and we stayed at the Ravenscourt Hotel. This was a superb place. We received a very warm chatty welcome from Helen and had a lovely room on the second floor (so glad we are still fit for the stairs along with two small cases. The room was so well equipped, and with the key we could come and go as we liked. The information book in the room was helpful. Breakfast was extra but was well worth having each morning, and was so well cooked and presented, delivered by lovely Helen and her assistants. Be careful when going to breakast in the conservatory since there are two steps up and then one down, and while there is a note to mind the step it is not marked across with yellow tape, as I found to my cost the first morning when I nearly tipped over! Ravensworth's situation in the village is close to Grey Walls Inn where we ate twice in the evening, and the other restaurant we can recommend is the Italian place. Both are only a short walk away. Three days of continuous rain and flooded roads were not pleasant but coming back each day to Ravencourt was the best for us. We would certainly stay again. More...

Onze uitvalsbasis voor een weekje Lake District. Een prachtige kamer met super schoon sanitair, een mooie flatscreen en waterkoker voor thee en koffie. De bedden zijn goed en niet te zacht. De gastheer is zeer behulpzaam en altijd in voor een praatje. Ontbijt is zeer uitgebreid, echt Engels dus veel keuze uit allerlei variaties eier gerechten. De bediening is attent en persoonlijk. Deze B&B ligt op 400 meter van het station en is dus bijzonder geschikt voor reizen met de trein. London-Glasgow is wel een erg druk traject dus reserveren is nodig. Voor wandelen is dit een heel geschikte locatie. Veel wandelroutes en de lokale touristinformation geeft je goede adviezen. Het openbaar vervoer is perfect geregeld en met een dagpas kom je voor 8,- overal. Een klassiek rondvaart mag natuurlijk niet ontbreken al is dat wel erg druk met toeristen die hetzelfde plan hebben. De absolute aanrader is een excursie met Mountain Goat Tours. In 1 dag langs adembenemende passen en meren in het Lake District. Gelukkig was de chauffeur zeer ervaren en werden we vakkundig langs zeer smalle wegen geleid. Windermere zelf heeft een uitgebreide keuze in restaurants. Van heel chique tot eetcafés en pubs waar je voor weinig geld goed en degelijk kunt eten. Een minpuntje is natuurlijk de brexit. Jammer dat zo’n prachtig land en zulke aardige mensen de EU gaan verlaten! :) More...

Nick the owner couldn't have done enough for us and all of the rest of the staff were really friendly and efficient. We were able to use all of the communal areas as much as we wanted which was great, it felt like we were in our own home for the few days.

We stayed there from Monday to Friday and had an almost perfect time at the hotel. The first proper morning we had there wasn’t the best because we were visited by room service at 10:30 ish in the morning and as it was our first morning there, we hadn’t been up for long. This happen during the week as well, which wasn’t good as some people have showers in the morning. Other then this it was a lovely hotel with very friendly staff and very helpful as well.We only had the breakfast on our last day and it wasnt the best we e ever had. The English ‘bap’ was fine and was really nice to have and filled me up. However, the scrambled eggs could have been a bit more cooked and less running. 8 out of 10. Would come again if in the area.

greeted on arrival by Nick who pointed us in the direction of the shops, bars and restaurants. Car parking is available at the ravensworth and is a blessing, there is absolutely no where to park on public roads because its so busy. The location is perfect, 2 minutes to lots of pubs, restaurants and shops. Its around a 20 minute pleasant walk to Lake Windermere and the boat cruises are quite reasonably priced. We had a king room in room 7 on the third floor, the rooms are spotlessly clean and beds are really comfortable with lots of storage space for cloths and a safe is available in the rooms at no extra cost. hairdryer is available in the rooms and is a 'proper' hairdryer and not one of those ones you find in hotel bathrooms that are pretty useless. The bathroom in our room was very clean with a good sized shower, shower gel and hand wash. . there is no air conditioning but we had a fan in the room and this cooled the room done somewhat. The lounge area is nice, WiFi is good inside the B&B but not so good in the outside area. We haven't had a breakfast so unable to comment on this, it's our last night tonight and we will try the breakfast tomorrow but at £7.50 it sounds like good value as it is so expensive eating out here. All in all a great stay and I would return to to this B&B but I would try and get one of the rooms in the annex as these seemed to have their own outside area, lovely for sitting out early morning or of an evening.

Tevens een beperkt buffet met fruit, yoghurt, etc. De vrouw die het ontbijt verzorgt is vriendelijk en maakt graag een praatje als ze tijd heeft. Het hotel heeft een terras, waar je even rustig wat kunt lezen of iets kunt drinken. Koffiefaciliteiten op de kamer en in gemeenschappelijke ruimte. Supermarkt en station liggen op 5 minuten lopen. De pier van Bowness ligt op een half uur lopen. Handiger is om de bus te nemen die vanaf het station vertrekt. Tip: wandel in een klein half uurtje naar Orrest Head vanwaar je een mooi uitzicht op het meer van Windermere hebt, het pad begint tegenover het station naast hotel Windermere.. More...
