Disappointing

Stay was okay but disappointing. The overall hotel is very nice looking until you get to the rooms at the end of the hotel. The room was very noisy and you could hear the room next door having a normal conversation and any time someone walked near the room you could hear the floors creak. This was not helped by the staff that need to service the rooms had a room opposite ours that was in use a lot. For the price i would not recommend it.

The room we had was not worth the cost what so ever. The room was very old fashioned. We also checked out a day early and the staff didn’t ask us if there was an issue or anything. Over priced

Stayed in the Winander Club, room 888 which was excellent. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we had our own reception area which was quick. Our room as on the top floor with only one other room. We had a really comfortable bed, bath in main room, good. Size bathroom with nice products and complimentary sweets. But by far the best selling point is the room balcony with amazing views of lake Windermere. Nothing better than sitting have a morning tea / coffee looking at the lake and fells in the cool morning air. Ultimately we can't fault this hotel and our going to look to make it out base to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year. Our only suggestion would be for there to be outside towels to dry off plastic balcony furniture and perhaps blankets so you can spend more time enjoying the outside room space as there are no heaters.

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.
