Fayrer Garden House Hotel

We stayed for 2 nights in April 2005.The bedroom had fantastic views over Lake Windermere, but the room itself was vey small with space for a bed and little else. The television was a portable on a shelf with only a limited number of channels. My biggest disappointment was in the restaurant. Whilst the food could not be faulted the service was so quick that course followed course without time to take a break and enjoy it. In spite of requests for slower service we were served a 4 course meal in about 40 mins.

I stayed with my wife at Fayrer Garden House for two nights in a lake-view bedroom with whirlpool. The "whirlpool" was the size of an average bath-tub, and the bathroom was just large enough for two people to brush their teeth at the same time without injuring each other. The bedroom was comfortable, nicely decorated and featured two wonderful leather chairs and a small coffee table, in addition to the large bed, desk and closets. The room also featured a large TV and a radio/CD-player. In the winter the view is excellent over the lake, and... more

We have stayed at Fayrer many times, and have once again had the most enjoyable experience. Each time we stay we find it just gets better. The hotel has a new lounge area that is delightful, we look forward to the summer so we can watch the sunset over the lake. The staff were friendly as always and gave great service, Dinner was once again exquisite using the finest local ingredients. We would reccommend anyone to stay here, such a relaxing environment we only wish we didn't have to leave!

My partner and I had booked in for a two night stay at the hotel in one of the rooms with a four poster it was over £250 for the night. We only ended up staying one night because the room was so awful. The walls seemed dirty, the bed linen didn't look very fresh and both of us awoke with bites on our legs. Hence it wasn't a pleasant stay and won't be going back.

Spent 3 very good nights here. Service and the dinners were excellent and very good value with their "Winter Warmer" offer. I accept that the breakfast was repetitive but seemed like the perfect accompaniment to the varied dinners (and great preparation for a days walking). As soon as we can afford it we will be back

We've just had 4 days at Fayrer Garden House and it was excellent. Our room had a fantastic Lake view (beautiful sunsets on the turning leaves) and was spacious and generally very comfortable. The staff were all so helpful, particularly in the Dining Room where they were mostly from overseas (Australia, Hungary, France, Argentina etc) but spoke superb English and were very obviously trained to a high standard. Dinner could not be faulted on taste and presentation although we were ready for something simpler on our return home. The... more

Just returned from 5 nights at Fayrer Garden Hotel. Comfortable lounges and good food (although had expected more choice and imagination for breakfasts!), but really disappointed by size and rather drab decor of room we were allocated. Had high hopes of this hotel but we will not return. On a positive note, service in the dining room was excellent, it must be said.

We stayed here in July this year. The hotel and its surroundings were lovely and clean. The staff were wonderful, very helpfull and always on hand. The food was beautiful and we will certainly be visiting there again. Only downside........The Weather - But thats the Lakes for you.

Been here three times now, food is amazing. Well worth paying a bit more for that extra something special. You also get to use sports facilities 2 mins away including squash court, swimming pool, sauna, gym etc. Never been disappointed with any aspect of my visits.

We stayed for our honeymoon in august 02, have already been back at christmas. Brilliant, staff are very helpful, food is gorgeous, cannot do enough for you. I recommened the Fayrer Country House Hotel to anyone who stays at windermere. Fantastic!
