The hotel itself is in a lovely idyllic location on the lake Windermere (lakeside) Very picturesque. The grounds are well maintained. The restaurant food was excellent and staff were very accommodating. The only downside was stains on the carpet in the bedroom and chipped furniture ,bathroom radiator was very rusty and marks on the walls definitely think the room needs to be freshly painted . Asked for extra teas and coffee milk from the reception in the evening but didn’t receive them was very disappointed and for the price we paid £294.00 per night we expected the room to be perfect. Room 53

Lovely area ,great views,property was tired and creaky. Staff were very pleasant ,£6.50 a pint and £8 a glass of wine caused a serious lack of drinking. If you want to go anywhere,the local roads are tight and twisty with some the bushes were touching my mirrors. All in all pleasant stay,but don’t think I’ll be back.

Stunning location but room very hot

Great stay overall but due to no air conditioning available in the rooms, the heat was unbearable in the hot weather. A small fan was in the room but didn't make too much difference. The room was nice but could've done with modernising more like having plugs near the bed with USBs in and more modern decor. Beautiful location and breakfast was lovely.

Amazing views and a quiet location… food was excellent… if not a little on the expensive side,as there isn’t any where else to eat . The room which we had was Comfortable and clean… a little warm with no air conditioning but there was a fan which helped a little. The spa and pool facilities was excellent. The staff were friendly and happy to help. Definitely be back

Beautiful location and friendly helpful staff. However, there wasn't a walk-in shower (only over the bath) and no handrails. Also the room was very hot and we were advised not to open the windows after dark!
