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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities A lot of money for average accommodation. 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colette Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely spot to stay on lake windermere ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We upgraded to get a view of the lake from our room.

Also hair on the bed when we arrived and dirty sheets . Clearly their housekeeping is poor. Also no night manager or reception after 10 pm only nightporter was available who could not help with anything. ##### Mohammed Stayed 1 night in Aug 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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely hotel with lovely helpful staff. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Apr 22, 2025 Great service great hotel attentive staff helped us with everything we needed.

Very helpful staff. Highly recommend. ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Apr 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leona May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort It's a well located hotel with good facilities and friendly staff, however car park is far too expensive and to charge extra for certain breakfast items in the menu is disappointing would also benefit some TLC in certain areas, including new towels, which were well worn. ##### Leona Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Treated like cr@p at check in by a very rude member of staff, and not much better in the morning at breakfast. Would not stay here again. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jun 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel London Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Novotel-London-Bridge.h909545.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barrie](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Hotels.d6692.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Cremona](https://www.expedia.ca/Cremona-Hotels.d6358968.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barceló Bávaro Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Barcelo-Bavaro-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2438582.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Pine Knob Music Theatre](https://www.expedia.ca/Pine-Knob-Music-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6262054-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hotel-Mousai-Puerto-Vallarta.h7277386.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ist/calgary-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Oranjestad (AUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aua/toronto-to-oranjestad) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sfo/ottawa-to-san-francisco) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/bcn/new-york-to-barcelona) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxe/vancouver-to-saskatoon) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mbj/montreal-to-montego-bay)
