We had a great stay here from start to finish. The room was stunning and the spa facilities were nice. The views onto the lake are gorgeous and every meal we had was great too. The hotel is right next to where a cruise departs from to go to Bowness which was lovely too. I would really recommend a stay here.

Cannot fault this place, must be one of the best places to stay in the lake district. Plenty of parking, it's spotlessly clean, brilliant location on the bank of Windermere. Plenty to do with boats trips, the lake aquarium and steam railway there. The team there are fantastic, friendly and really helpful, I'd definitely go again.

The location is amazing and the staff are wonderful- really friendly and helpful. The spa is good and breakfast is lovely too. However, the evening restaurant food is poor and basically very overpriced low quality pub food. The restaurant is the most not letdown, otherwise a wonderful hotel and stay.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous setting. The staff were really nice and could not do enough to make you feel welcome. The food on the main restaurant was excellent but the brasserie was poor (pub food at hotel prices and poorly presented). Overall we would highly recommend the hotel. Unfortunately Expedia cooked up the booking in the wrong name but the hotel staff soon sorted it out.

Such a relaxing stay! Huge room with comfortable beds and plentiful tea and coffee facilities - especially nice local touch using Herdy mugs. Spa and pool were very nice, and lovely outdoor spaces to relax right on the lake. Would have loved more time to spend a lazy afternoon in the cosy surroundings getting lost in a book. Good cooked breakfast, my husband especially enjoyed the smoked haddock and poached eggs. Would love to come back and stay longer next time!

From the momment wearrivedseeing this wonderful hotel sat on the banks of Windermere i think we knew we had picked a great place to stay It didnt disappoint.from the momment we checked in the staff we really helpful,our room was excellent very clean and well maintained and was perfect. The location both of our room and the hotel really couldn't have been any better and I must say the gardeners do an excellent job keeping it looking so colourful. Both breakfast and dinner were really great and prompt polite service was always given and the staff always helpful. We will look forward to another visit.

The rooms were spacious and the staff were all very kind and helpful. The hotel is a car ride or ferry ride away from local shops, eateries and tours which made for a quiet stay but was also an added cost for when we wanted to go exploring. The beds were very comfortable. When our Uber failed to show the hotel staff helped us with finding a taxi. Drawbacks include showers that did not always have good water pressure and toilets that did not flush reliably. The restaurants were very busy. As guests of the hotel we would have appreciated priority when making reservations for lunch and dinner.

It was very clean and lovely staff and the view of the lake from our window was excellent, but other than that it was just a standard 4 Star hotel and not worth 217.00 pounds per night. The breakfast was ok but after our evening meal we were charged 10% service fee on top and a 5 pound tray charge, I assume that was for carrying the food out from the kitchen, I had them deducted it off the bill when we checked out. I think I was hoping for something special but it wouldn't

This is such a stunning hotel. It’s our 3rd time staying and we can’t wait to come back. We’re both vegan and I’m GF and the food is fantastic. They also have noseco which was fab. We absolutely love the spa so the facilities really do give it that extra edge.

We only stayed one night but it was enjoyable, the staff were attentive, we enjoyed dinner in the hotel (which was a bit expensive) and there was plenty of choice for breakfast. The bedroom was large and clean, it would have been nice to stay longer to try the pool. It is well sited in a beautiful position on Windermere close to the aquarium and steam railway. Lots going on.
