Good Points: Hotel was clean
Bad Points: Noise
General comments: This hotel is nice and clean but if you are going away for a relaxing break, don't choose this hotel!
If you are given a room at the back of the hotel there is a fountain outside the room, that is switched on at 8.30 in the morning & is that loud it woke us up!
It is also not switched off until gone 11 and later than that if someone asks to see the dancing fountain.
We arrived at the hotel on the 20/6/08, and had to check out a day earlier than booked because at 11.30pm the guests in the room arrived back & had the loudest conversation which we could hear word for word in our room, they then went to sleep at 12.00am and we were then subjected to listening to them snore all night! After falling asleep at gone 3am the fountain awoke us at 8.30 & then the maids began hoovering at 9.50am!
The walls are so thin in this hotel we could hear the person in the next room snore & couldn't have a lie-in due to noise outside the room.
The breakfast is also a joke, you had a choice of porridge and toast & a few bits of fruit, even though we were down there at 9.00am.

Me and my husband went to Windermere for our anniversary and stayed at Aphrodites Boutique Hotel. There weren't many rooms left as we booked last minute and we only wanted one night which most hotels won't do. We managed to get the snow queen room which was lovely, it had a very comfortable bed with nice plump pillows, nice quality furniture and a modern bathroom with a spa bath.
Everything was clean and the staff were friendly. There was a heated outdoor pool in a good sized typical English ga ...

Rooms are not anything special, looks good in the brochure, but has no storage to put clothes away and walls are paper thin. Definitely not worth the money, has a lot of hidden extras like its an extra £5 for a cooked breakfast, which I think is very cheeky seen as though the price is expensive to begin with. Rubbish and expensive. Would never stay there again and would not recommend

Lovely room and very relaxing location. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Stayed in Oman Bedouin suite and loved the hot tub. Breakfast was very disappointing, with a £5 supplement for full English. Judging by the full teapots sent back at the end of breakfast proved that no one was impressed by the organic tea.1.2 miles into Bowness and very dark road at night if on foot. Overall a lovely place to stay, but did hear others complain about breakfast, especially when it isn't a chea ...

We stayed in the American Log Cabin at Aphrodite's Lodge, the first night where I proposed to my now Fiance . The room was the perfect setting - log burning fire, big rocking chairs, candles, champagne and a CD player. Not to mention the deep hot tub, sauna and shower - perfect!
The 2nd night we stayed in the Tarzan and Jane room, expertly decorated. And arguably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in which was aided by a big Velux window looking out to the stars.
I really can't beli ...

The week end was supposed to be a celebration and turned into an ordeal, two sleepless nights due to fire alarm problems, no hot water to the bath for two days, shower door broken for two days, staff did not respond to request to rectify the situation. The spa bath was located one step from the car park in view of all and the heated outdoor pool was closed. If management had been available we would have checked out on the third day. We have complained since our visit and received no acknowledgme ...

We stayed in the Tudor room with a 4 poster bed, gorgeous bedding and Molton Brown toiletries with gorgeous views overlooking the pool and coloured water fountain. We absolutely loved the big spa bath, you can easily not leave your room here. We didn't pick a room with a hot tub outside as it was a cold weekend, we were glad because they were overlooked by those on the first floor anyway.
It's a bit of a walk into Bowness but it's lovely, we got a taxi home at night because it was pitch blac ...

Aphrodite's Lodge is in a Lovely location, but a bit of a walk from town centre. Stayed in Italian Suite. Very nicely decorated. Nice big spa bath in bathroom, and lovely views over the gardens and outdoor pool.
Had new TV and DVD player in room.
Staff were all really friendly.
