Buttermere Lodge in Windermere receives high praise for its prime location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped lodge, hot tub, and the property's proximity to local amenities. The lodge's setting in a peaceful park and its suitability for dogs are also noted. While most experiences are positive, a few guests mention issues with pet odours and bed size.
The majority of guests report the lodge as spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with only a single mention of a pet odour issue, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The lodge's location is consistently praised for being central, quiet, and within walking distance to Bowness, shops, restaurants, and the lake, making it an ideal base for exploring.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with high-quality beds and a homely feel. However, there are comments about the double bed being small for some guests' preferences.
Facilities such as the hot tub, modern kitchen, and on-site amenities are highly regarded. A few guests experienced minor issues with Wi-Fi connectivity and high cupboard placement.
Several guests mention thoughtful touches like complimentary wine, which add to the welcoming atmosphere of the lodge. While these gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Perfect location short walk to Bowness shops and restaurants. Other attractions easily reached by car and boat. Park facilities good handy little shop and coffee area. Bar and restaurant area very nice not to noisy comfortable and good food at a reasonable price, Only issue was the WiFi managed to connect to lodge WiFi but unable to connect to the internet and could not connect to park internet in the lodge only in the Clubhouse.
