Had a fantastic 3 night stay , from the moment we arrived we was greeted with lovely friendly staff, our room was on the lower floor, well equipped but I would book the room with private hut tub when we return. Can not find fault with anything about this outstanding hotel, the location is especially good.

Absolutely loved it!

You really do pay for what you get. All of the staff from reception, bar staff and waiting on staff were extremely attentive, polite and professional. The hotel has a premium price tag yet everything there from side tables, lamps and mirrors are all premium. The decor is respectful to the original building yet they have also managed to make the hotel new. We drank in the bar, we ate in the restaurant, used the spa and booked treatments - it was exceptional. We arrived home today and plan on booking this hotel for over Christmas. We loved it!

Lovely hitel in an udeal location, 5 min walk to Windermere Kake and town center with plenty of shops and eateries. The spa is ideal after a busy day out to unwind in. Cosy small double room was also modern and comfy, and a good size. Complimentary Elemis toiletries in bathroom too. We ate at the restaurant onsite which was very enjoyable.

Good but not excellent

Hotel in a great location, bed comfort along with sofa comfort very poor. Well used ! Water pressure poor in the shower. Hotel very clean with friendly service and the Bentley car is a great touch for being dropped off anywhere local, spa bar a great touch.being charged £12 per day for car parking when you don’t book direct is a charge too far. Breakfast good but you have to be clear with the breakfast staff to avoid confusion.
