“Woodlands strikes me as a boutique haven near both Windermere and Bowness, yet removed enough for restful sleep. I like that the service here feels particularly thoughtful, from the locally sourced full English breakfast to details like pet care. The CBEN Bronze Award also signals a commitment to environmental practices, rare and welcome in a luxury stay.”
