Windermere House

First time visiting. What a great place to relax. Everywhere was spotless. Staff very friendly. Buffet breakfast included was a bonus and lots to choose from. Housekeeping always restocked our room daily with water bottles and coffee/tea pods for machine. Ate at the pub on site meals were great. Would return for sure.

I just returned from the most incredible vacation at the Windemere House and I can't wait to return. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay truly unforgettable. The resort itself is a stunning oasis with plenty of seating outdoors, a sparkling pool, waterview saunas and a gorgeous water view of the lake. Our room was spacious, with a private balcony that overlooked the water. The amenities on site were great ( paddle boards, canoes, pickle ball ) with a spa ( best massage ever is an understatement!) fitness center, and delicious dining options. But what really made our stay special was the attention to detail and the genuine warmth of the staff. If you're looking for a true relaxing experience, look no further than the Windemere House. We can't wait to return and experience it all again!"

what a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. located on the shores of Lake Rousseau is this historic gem. Check in was quick and easy, we had a king size garden view room which was clean and spacious enough for our needs. The bed was a bit too soft but you can’t please everyone. The hotel itself is spotless and the staff were lovely. we enjoyed the outdoor heated pool and hot tub in the evening and sat by the fire afterwards. They also have 3 sauna barrels but all were in use when we were outside. They also have a heated outdoor patio where you can sit and they provide blankets if it’s chilly. we ate dinner at the pub and found the food good. Our waiter was fabulous. breakfast is included and is a plentiful buffet. Only complaint we had was that we arrived right at 8am when it opened and the eggs, sausage and bacon were not even lukewarm. Overall we had a wonderful, relaxing stay and would definitely return.

Charming, elegant old hotel, with spectacular view, and a wonderful staff. The food was delicious but obviously heavy on the salt as I soon afterwards felt my pulse rate rise uncomfortably. Breakfast included, uninspired, bagel inedibly stale.

Windamere House is wonderful. The facilities and staff are excellent. The food is well presented and very good. We encountered an outstanding dining staff member, Guesher. He was polite, friendly and genuinely personable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Chef Sevi was amazing. Personally came out a prepared a meal specifically for our dietary needs when the buffet was only available. Was really impressed how it was offered without being asked !! Greatest service we’ve had anywhere for years

You can’t beat the view over the lake when dining outside, but the food was a huge disappointment. The $20 Heirloom Tomato Salad presentation was attractive, except it was a large slice of an underripe tomato with some smaller tomatoes and missing the olive oil, soused beet, balsamic, the Fogo Island smoked sea salt and the goat cheese crema, rendering it pretty tasteless. When we asked for balsamic, our waitress said they didn’t have any, so we asked that she speak to the chef; she returned 10 minutes later with a tiny little container for two salads. (We gave up on asking for the remainder of the missing salad ingredients. We just asked for salt and pepper.) We ended up using the fresh ginger from the sushi our fellow diner had to provide some (any) flavour. The Potato Brandade that came with the halibut was excellent, but the halibut was overcooked. The pork tenderloin was good but the Fondant Potato had been precooked, warmed up and dry. This was a birthday dinner and needless to say, we were very disappointed. It’s a shame as the setting is so pretty and there is a large local population of cottagers and residents that would frequent the dining room if they stepped up their food quality. Hopefully they can sort this out before the summer season is in full swing.

Just stayed for 1 night in March, had never been there before, but had heard of it. When I called about room options I took one on the second floor, with a view of Lake Rosseau. Considering it is a resort with lots of amenities the price was very reasonable. Room was very spacious, with a large terrace, and amazing view of the lake Had dinner in the pub, it has great atmosphere, floors and walls are done with stone, a gas firepit on the patio. Both food and service were excellent. With only 60 rooms it has a very cozy feel to it unlike some of the bigger resorts . Spoke with one of the managers, they said there are new owners ( less than a year) and they are committed to put millions back into the resort to improve the customer experience. Enjoy this hidden gem while you can.

Had a wonderful visit with friends on the weekend! Everything was fantastic with the staff, rooms, and food - ate at the breakfast buffet and pub. Favorite part was the lovely outdoor hot tub and barrel saunas! So lovely being right on the lake. Can't wait to check it out in the summer!
