Danielle, Jul 2025
Pros (+) Loved the multicoloured lights in the bathroom. Loved the views. Within walking distance of the town centre. Breakfast was delicious. It's a reasonably quiet hotel. Car park was good. Shower was good.
Cons (-) The pillows were too thick for my liking. Not many tea bags in the room. They tried to discourage going in the pool as a grid was damaged but I insisted as the pool is the reason I chose the hotel.

Pros (+) The staff were exceptionally friendly and caring. The hotel is beautifully designed in a charming rustic style and has a true homey feel.

Alexander, Jul 2025
Pros (+) - Location was fantastic, ideally situated between Windermere and the lake. Walkable from the station; easy to get to the lake; easy to get to restaurants. - I went for the pricier "Occasion" room, and the view from the window was amazing. It was wonderful to spend long evenings reading out on the room's terrace. - The bed was extremely comfy. - The staff were helpful and friendly - The bath in th...
Cons (-) - I didn't love having to book a time for breakfast. Overall the breakfast situation felt too formal; I'd really prefer a buffet to waiter service for breakfast. - I enjoyed two very relaxing baths but on the third day, my bath seemed to start leaking out the plughole -- I couldn't get the bath to fill up. In the end I gave up. - The room came equipped with a large hairdryer but it seemed quite un...

Yan, Jul 2025
Pros (+) The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean with good view. It's only 10 mins drive from the train station and 15 mins walk to Bowness-on-Windermere. The food in the restaurant is also tasty. It's recommended to have dinner or drinks to watch the sunset there.
Cons (-) There is no AC in the room but a small fan. It could be hot if you come in the summer
