Fantastic stay at Merewood earlier this week with my daughter, it was a birthday present from her. The hotel is well located next to Lake Windermere, fantastic views from hotel, and they gave us a room upgrade so we had same view from there, which was special. Hotel clean and well maintained with lots of character. Staff very friendly, couldn’t do enough for you, including sorting my car out ( thanks Jim, handyman), when I couldn’t get into it, or start it ( issue car battery). Room was really large, huge bay window with sofa, well equipped with coffee machine, treats etc. Bathroom had shower and bath. Lovely area behind high headboard for changing with wardrobes, sofas, dressing table. I was treated to the 7 course taster menu, which was fabulous and looked really pretty and inventive. We opted to buy our own bottle of wine. Waiter staff very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was lovely, loads of choice, we had eggs royal. nice rooms to chill out in, including day rooms and bars. All in all a fantastic stay and experience, thank you to all the staff; I would definitely return.
