Nice hotel in great position. Staff and service very good. Excellent pool and spa facilities. We had a problem with a hot radiator in our room which we couldn’t turn off and a leaking toilet cistern. Eventually sorted the next day when the maintenance staff available. Breakfast very good but was very disappointed with our evening diner. We had the cod which was very over salted. Fried custard for pudding, out of interest, which we didn’t enjoy. The fried breadcrumb coating tasted savory as if it had been fried in the same fat as savory dishes. Waitress who asked us if we had liked it was quite dismissive and not interested to hear our opinion as it wasn’t positive.

Stayed here for a couple of days over the Easter break. I booked for the views over Windermere which were stunning but there is so much more. Really liked this hotel, I love the blend of modern and period pieces, a really nice feel to the place. Lots of lovely areas in the hotel to enjoy and relax, the brasserie, conservatory and gardens. Breakfast was also delicious in the restaurant, very pleasant. All the staff without exception were polite, smiley and professional and a credit to the hotel. Would definitely stay here again, loved it!

Not very good value for money.

Disappointed. Room (Lakeview Suite) needed a bit of an upgrade. Bed slanted. Dinner was quite nice. Service was odd. Breakfast was awful and service wasn’t great. Check in and out was just weird as staff were throwing things at each other and mucking about. Car park is public access and we found people taking photos sat on our car bonnet! It’s not cheap at £300 pn. Expected slightly better condition, fridge/minibar would have been good. Windows which open.
