Very good

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.
Everything about our stay at the hotel was wonderful but the food served at the Cumbria Life awards was very poor indeed and this was the only blot on an otherwise exemplary stay.
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
Nice location and rooms but quite chaotic service with bags going to the wrong room, then going missing on a second occaision. Computer systems seem dated, with lots of booking issues and also bizarre how you have to paye extra to use the outdoor spa area (by far the best bit)
