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.

Carpets though out were shabby and looked neglected ,our room so compact for a double there was only room for 1 chair ,hardly any hanger in wardrobe and the door was about falling off, bath panels was broken and falling off, no window or working extractor fan ,the towel heater radiator was taped together with installation tape didn't like turn it so don't know if it worked or not,the bed can only be described as knackered. When we asked about evening meal we were told that they only catered for large parties and not for staying guests. All in all it a disgusting place to stay and i would recommend that you wash your hands of them a take them off your list of recommend hotels. Our children payed in advance as present for our 50th wedding anniversary otherwise we would have walked out on the 1st night.sorry to go on but it was a sh.. hole. Not worth half of money we payed.

Location was ideal for Windermere and just a short walk (25mins ish) to Bowness on Windermere Staff were friendly and welcoming Zero flexibility with check in times (we arrived at 2:30 and couldn’t check in until 3) Breakfast was great, would have liked more fruit options though rather than just sliced peaches Room was tired and outdated but clean Beds were a little too hard for our preference Good amenities in the room - hairdryer, kettle and towel rail No extractor fan in the bathroom meant it was very steamy and left the room a little damp feeling Shower had an accessibility handle far far too close to the shower, the combination of that and the shower curtain constantly blowing in made it almost impossible to shower comfortably without getting a faceful of curtain or getting f bashed by the handle (even as a 5ft 2 petite female) No issues with parking (stayed may half term) A little expensive given that the rooms need a fair bit of TLC but would stay again and recommend for the breakfast and good location

Great value and good location.

Great value, a short walk to the town, and about a 20 minute walk to the lake. The room was comfortable , the staff were very polite and helpful, and no issue parking, th3 shower was amazing.

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👍

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great check in, parked outside the door. I appreciate that some rooms are specifically for stays with a dog but cleanliness wasn’t great, stains on carpet, hairs in shower. There was a noise that we could hear all night, a wooing noise from a fan which got quite annoying. I raised the issue on departure, staff not at all apologetic. It was an alright relatively cheap place to sleep with the dog in a good location but that’s about it.
