Reception staff great, evening restaurant staff very courteous and attentive, morning breakfast staff could do with an attitude reset - very abrasive and guests seemed to be an inconvenience, especially when disrupting whatever was holding their attention on their mobiles (the server with the bleach blonde hair in particular). Room very comfortable.

Excellent
A fabulous place to stay whilst exploring the lakes. Lovely breakfast with glorious views. Leisure and gym small and needing a little bit of a refresh but a nice option to have. Views are stunning, food good and bar good but a little pricey, but given Windermere is about 20 minutes away and taxis are pricey, it seemed a sensible option to stay put. Overall a great place.

The property was easy to find. Parking was easy. Got a friendly welcome. Breakfast was ready before time which was really helpful as we had to leave quickly. The room was a bit difficult to get in to as there was a bedside stand as soon as you open the door so had to negotiate around it everytime I entered & exited the room.

Great one night stay
Lovely stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed in a superior family room which was comfortable and well appointed. Nice modern bathroom, crisp sheets. Breakfast was self service - hot food was fresh and well cooked. Decent little pool and sauna/steam room. Didn’t use the small gym but that didn’t look busy. Very pretty location. We will be back.

The hotel is charming. It’s not the most luxurious affair but everting is above average. Room comfortable and clean. Deluxe family has patio door with direct access to the garden is a plus. Their leisure facility is a bit tired and can be improved. Breakfast has enough variety. Staff friendly. Pleasant stay overall. Would recommend.
