Windermere, Fayrer Garden House Hotel Review

Good Points
Food and location.

Bad Points
Small bedrooms and cramped bathroom for us, thought it had a small bar, tired decor in my view.

General Comments
Lets be right, this hotel will be well suited to the retiring kind but if you are looking for a hotel with good public rooms and some life about it then I think there are plenty of far superior hotels nearby. Having read other reviews I was deeply disappointed with what I found and I think they created the wrong impression of the hotel. Yes the food is very good but not exceptional in my opinion and the staff are very helpful, but otherwise the hotel lets itself down in my view. I found the bedrooms to be small and not luxury, the bathrooms might have whirlpools but in our case at the expense of putting the toilet in a position that I think is only suitable for contortionists. The decor looks tired to me and I think will be too kitsch for some people. However, as I said if you are the retiring type this might be just the place for you, but if you have yet to retire then I'd go somewhere else.
