We had a staff retreat at Windermere house and we were pleasantly surprised! The food at the restaurants was top notch! I would come back for the food alone. There is a small beach and you can access paddle boards and kayaks for free. The front desk staff wasn't overly helpful. I expected the room to be old and dated but it was great! Spacious, clean and quiet. The pool is a good size and there are a lot of activities to do at the resort. We will be back!
