Great hotel, shame about the room.
Spa weekend was amazing and throughly enjoyed. However the night in the hotel was terrible. Room was loud from all directions. Banging and trolleys as well as people through the corridors. Also the room was too hot with no fan or aircon. However the window opened fully, this was directly onto a pathed walkway outside so again was noisy and not secure as anyone could have entered the room through an open window. If you get room 312 I would go and ask for a different one !

Not great
The view from our room was the only positive for our stay, although what they don't show you in the photos is that the hazel room (I think that's what we had) is actually above the main road so you hear & see all the cars going by from beneath your balcony. We had breakfast in the room both mornings, and both days the cooked food was freezing cold! The scrambled eggs were also a little grey looking, very odd. We ended up having to have an earlier lunch out both days as we were still hungry due to not being able to eat the cold cooked breakfasts (there was also an £8.50 charge per day for it to be delivered), the staff also weren't very friendly or approachable, when walking past they didn't look up & smile or say hello like we've been used to in other hotels, they just seemed unhappy like they didn't really want to be there! Such a shame as we were really looking forward to our stay, but it left us feeling disheartened & not wanting to return

Wonderful stay
Came especially for the spa which was excellent, very modern, plenty to do and not too overcrowded. The new part of the hotel was very modern and complimented the older part. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was on a corner in the old part and was bug and comfortable and even has a partial lake view which was lovely. Plenty of choice for breakfast which was in a lovely big bright room. We will definitely be coming back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, overall it was a very positive experience with attentive, considerate staff and services. It is in a great area to travel to Windermere, Ambleside or really anywhere else in the Lake District. The only slight let down was the spa; you have to pay extra for spa access even after paying for a treatment. Additionally the details around access times & costs varied depending on which staff you spoke to.

We had a lovely stay here for one evening. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was excellent! Our only criticism was the W restaurant which didn't really meet our expectation compared to the rest of the hotel.

Spectacular
I cannot fault the hotel at all we all wished that we had booked for longer. Everything we needed was catered for, the views from the room and the grounds are spectacular. Unlike other hotels where we are downgraded on the room due to having our dog with us this was not the case he was welcomed with his own bed, towels, bowls and even treats. We had our evening meal in the bar and the food didn't disappoint either 😋 The only downside was the restaurant staff at breakfast instead of laying the table outside the restaurant so we could eat with our dog as we were told they would we had to eat in the bar area leaving my disabled 80 year mother to rely on us bringing what we thought she would like instead of choosing herself. Breakfast was wonderful but it did blot the copybook. We will definitely be returning though
