Some of the amenities were not available (ex - pool being repaired). That is the only downside. Everything else was wonderful and the view of the lake from the room was amazing!

We were very happy with everything about the room and the hotel area. The breakfast was amazing and had a lot of variety. The outdoor hot tub was lovely. The only minus was with the saunas, which were not hot enough. That's probably because the sensor was too high in the sauna, and the heating elements were partly exposed (not enough stones on the heater).

I have nothing but good things to say about my stay at Windermere House over New Year's. It was outstanding in every respect. Beautiful, well-kept and charming facilities; courteous and friendly staff; great location; and the food is what one expects from only the best restaurants. I highly recommend the Windermere House. It's superb.
