All staff very welcoming and informative, nothing too much trouble, dining room/breakfast was first class, pity the same can't be made for the bathroom whitch is very small,and was let down by bodged repairs, the towel rail had an external wire coming from the thermostat to the socket and was taped up with black tape, not very reassuring, in the brochure it states two minutes from the lakes, a bit optimistic took me nearly four in a car.

I’ve stayed in places far more expensive that were a lot worse. It’s by all means not the best place in the Lakes but the price you pay reflects what you get👍

I am a disabled driver, and out of I’d say 150 odd spaces… only x3 where disabled, so I really struggled and it caused my knee to flare up again hobbling up the slope in the car park, the carpets look like they’re from 1800’s and the banisters never been cleaned, room was ok though in fairness

Having not been to The Lake District for many years and now a homeowner, i am cost conscious, but wanting a great experience. Welcomed by a very friendly member of hotel staff. Shown to room which was "small but perfectly formed!" Bed was very comfortable but curtains need to be fixed properly to the eyes. They didnt close properly either. Shower very good and nice hot temperature. Pretty good views. I didnt pay for breakfast or dinner as i was seeing a cousin of mine but they both looked and smelt very good. I would recommend this hotel to everybody. There is a lovely walk up to a viewpoint overlooking Windermere lake, taxing and gentle options, but you have to do it.
