The staff at this place were incredibly attentive, and the breakfast offered great value for money with delicious options. The location is convenient in the Lake District, being very close to the restaurants in the center of Windermere which offers 

The location was perfect, very close to both Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, with easy access to restaurants, and I loved the beautiful luxury queen room.

Comfortable stay and friendly staff. The high-end room and bathroom were clean and well-maintained. Everything we needed was in good working condition. 😊

Location.

This hotel could be top notch but the luxury decor lacks the final attention to detail which would bring it to the standard it seems to seek to achieve. E.G. proper cable mangement, finishing of bathroom floor edges, attention to repairs needed E.G. bathroom floor tiles are wobbly. Staff need to be more discreet and a bit more professional. This from my experience of staying all over Europe. I enjoyed my stay but I think this hotel could make a little effort in a few areas to make all the difference. I hope it does: this is supposed to be constructive criticism!

The accommodation at The Howbeck & The Retreat was lovely and welcoming. The quality of the accommodation was excellent. The location was perfect for accessing the Lake District, as well as bars, restaurants, and shops. It was a really good experience staying there.
