Would love to go back and stay a little longer ! ##### Hema Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we upgraded our room to Super Deluxe which was very spacious and had a great view of the lake. A card was left in our room wishing us a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. Perfect location, breakfast was good and staff were exceptional. Our room wasn’t ready until 4 which is what the hotel states as check in time, this is a bit later than most hotels but we enjoyed a drink at the bar while we waited. Overall a lovely relaxing stay and we would definitely return. ##### Hilary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### lynsey Oct 18, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Booked a 2 night stay here , espically for the swimming pool for my daughter , this could not be used due to it under maintenance and it was freezing , this should have been stated when booking as i would not have chosen for my stay , my daughters bed was on a slope in the bedroom which is dangerous , not normally one for having a negative complaint but i feel for what we paid for this we would have went else were with working facilities , expedia contacted hotel but no joy with a reimbursement . ##### lynsey Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colette Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

Shower head would not stay at top of pole kept sliding down ,crack in sink base. Room too hot even with radiator turned off ,opened window to cool down but could hear a generator running day and night. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was very tired and in need of a refurbish. The bed pleather was so old and scuffed. No fridge in the room for a hotel of this price. We had an upgrade and the robes were well washed out and greyish. No slippers ! We were told we could walk to the spa but we had to go to reception and ask for slippers. Not enough loungers round the pool. The car park was not on the hotel grounds and £25 a day is so expensive. We wouldn’t return!!! The staff were lovely ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5324e27b-d6df-4d00-b19b-721ef08b3ae1-1760890499297.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cerny Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Great last minute stay, lovely breakfast, helpful staff ##### Cerny Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcela Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful spot The most wonderful stay, was unaware there was a pre-planned surprise awaiting us to celebrate our engagement.

But the room was at the front of the property and so was pretty noisy even on a Sunday. Breakfast in the morning was tasty with a good view over the lake. We didn't park in the hotel car park but on Glebe Road which was a fifth of the price. ##### Tom Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Superb location The hotel's location is superb - with a great view over Windermere and within walking distance of restaurants, pubs and tings to do. While in need of investment, the room we had was clean and in good condition and the restaurant was too. The swimming pool and leisure facilities were very good. Some staff were excellent and very friendly but a few were less so/ ##### Chris Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### greg Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel great location. ##### greg Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lovely Break We had a very enjoyable stay beds very comfortable, rooms fully equipped pool was beautiful ##### Melanie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liane Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel, fantastic location This is a lovely hotel in a great location. My room was gorgeous and had the best nights sleep I’ve had in years, as the room is sound proofed. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Just a few things to be aware of. This hotel is quite expensive to book, and it’s a little cheeky they charge an Additional cost for parking, £25 for the night. It does not have aircon so is quite warm. The food and drink are overpriced. (Recommend going elsewhere) However, it is a lovely hotel and you can’t beat the location ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ccbc5b6-59e4-4db5-943a-9fdd3efd079d-1753637624493.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Liane Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew Jul 15, 2025 Location a big plus for this hotel. At over £200 per night it’s well overpriced for what it is. It has a spa and pool which was a big reason why we booked this vs other hotels but after booking got a mail about stay advising kids not allowed in pool after 5pm which was around when we arrived. Mailed hotel about this before arrival but no reply. Breakfast ok but not fantastic, service a little slow. No air con in room, tv not great and £25 for over night parking! ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent :-) thank you! ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely hotel, very clean and great location ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sam May 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location for shops, bars & restaurants. Beautiful views of the lake from the bar & breakfast rooms. Only issue is the offsite parking. Could be quite awkward & if you use the hotel site it’s a ridiculous price of £25 per day. Not a great management decision in the tough hotel competition, especially as it is an open car park with just a security barrier. The local car park was just £7.00 per day. Safe & quiet. Felt happy to leave car there for a couple of days ##### Sam Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Howard Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Service was excellent. Staff on reception was beyond helpful, food was astonishing having breakfast, afternoon tea and an evening meal in the hotel restaurant and all the food was the highest quality with fantastic hosts and waiting staff. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Beautiful views from the room, the lounge, the restaurant and the outdoor seating areas overlooking the lake. Overall a breathtaking area with the hotel complimenting the area incredibly well. Spa treatments to top off the weekend away. Couldn’t recommend enough. ##### Howard Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a lush time hotel was amazing clean and chilled, kelly on reception checked us in and out and was fantastic.
