Tired room, but friendly staff, limited paid park
Really friendly staff from the enquiry call, but little else stood out except the price. En-suite room for the cost of a hostel bed, so can't complain. Room was exceptionally dated and rundown, looked like years of mould and rust had been painted over and badly so. The door meant everyone walking past speaking at a normal tone sounded like they were standing over your bed, not great when opposite the laundry cupboard! If i'd paid more, i would of complained about the room. It also wasn't obvious that you had to pay extra for parking, with an odd system of quoting your reg number when you arrived and paying at a machine on departure, which meant a gaggle of folk waiting around the front door.

Awful experience right from initial front desk staff meet to the room, bed springs poking through mattress, not clean, needs an awful lot of money spending on hotel. To make things worse we where sat in the bar area outside at 21.30 hours having a drink, the music went off and we where left in darkness with a full drink outside. Staff member said he was closing early. Bar should have been open till 23.30 hours. Say no more l could go on

A real experience hotel, large rooms, very comfortable and the character of the hotel has remain over the years. lots of coach tours each night which made dining or grabbing a drink in a little awkward for a couple. Real close to other dining options in the nearby village.

The hotel room is very small. It is not very clean. It just offers the very very basic. Car parking is not free. However it is in good location - Windermere, in Lake District.

Not for light sleepers
Hotel is a little dated the room was warm and comfortable but wasnt decorated to well and was done to a poor/cheap standard. We took our dog and the room the put us in was on the ground floor near the stairs lift, so when people were coming in late at night waiting for the lift the dog was aleart which was keeping us awake. I asked reception the next morning if we could be moved but they advised they were fully booked even though i could see keys still hung up behind the desk where they issue them from. Hotel is in a great place and staff were pleasant and friendly but maybe need to put a door between downstairs rooms

Hotel is stunning outside, inside is a little dated but very comfy and accommodating. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t help enough.. the hotel is at the top of the bank in Windermere and around a 2 mile walk into Bowness-On-Windermere. I would definitely stay here again
