The 57-room Best Western Burnside Hotel is a standard, upper-middle-range chain hotel that offers affordably priced, pet-friendly rooms that are surrounded by woodlands, with distant views of Lake Windermere. Guests have access to two classically decorated restaurants, a bar, and a leisure center with an indoor pool, a kids' pool, a hot tub, and spa facilities. Many guests complain about the worn and outdated leisure center, which began refurbishment in 2014. One alternative is the Lindeth Fell Country House Hotel, with better maintained common areas and rooms.

The 250-year-old Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa offers an idyllic setting on Lake Windermere with green lawns, private moorings, and scenic views from a terrace bar and restaurant. The hotel also has a spa with a nail salon, a cafe, treatment rooms, a heated pool, and gym. The 106 rooms have classic decor and flat-screen TVs; many feature superb lake views. Guests have complained that cocktails at the bar are pricey and that staff can be inconsistent. It may be worth comparing rates with the nearby Laura Ashley Hotel The Belsfield.

The 18-room Cranleigh is an upscale, adult-only boutique spread over a couple typical stone-built houses in the popular Lake District town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Individually designed rooms are beautifully finished with luxurious touches such as goose-down duvets and underfloor heating, while higher-end rooms even have whirlpool soaking tubs and bathroom TVs. There's not much beyond the rooms, a breakfast room, and cozy lounge, though guests have access to plush nearby spa facilities and the stunning lake and walking paths are just minutes away. Rates are pretty high, and a couple standard rooms lack polish, though this hotel is all about splashing out on a couple nights of romantic indulgence.
