Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Dinner was good but expensive, love the concept of a free drink in lieu of the room being cleaned if staying for 2 nights or more.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Staff were great, bed was extremely comfy, breakfast included was decent. The only negative was the condition of the room being quite run down but the bed and A/C made up for this.

Disappointed
Was disappointed with room as very noisy at night with people coming in at 12 and in the early morning traffic. Also the breakfast wasn’t as warm as we liked even at first sitting . Thought we were staying at the hotel at waters edge not a bloke across the road .
Location magnificent and iseal for a lakes holiday. Restaurant bar good. Dinner menu very average. Staff very friendly. Complimentary breakfast poor and cooked items almost cold. Very limited if you are vegetarian.
Parking is a major issue. If you can get a space hang on to it. Would be inadequate even iif exclusive to residents but also at a charge open to non-residents.
Overall impression disappointing but could easily be brilliant.
A very pleasant stay here for a walking holiday. The room was spacious and comfortable, the staff courteous and friendly and very good breakfast. Would stay again
The hotel is in a great location and we had a Windermere room behind hotel across the road. Car parking was a bonus. Breakfast good.
Had lunch there with family who came to us and it was very disappointing which was a shame.
