We stayed for one night with two dogs. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a lovely bar area! The hotel was in a great location and our room was clean. The decor in the hotel was slightly dated, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the night.
Lovely place to stay. Nice big room. In a perfect area. Close to bus stop. Would definitely stay there again.

Good location to explore Bowness. Easy check in and didn’t really see anyone after that. Rooms need a bit of TLC in my opinion but a good stay for what we paid.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, dining options in the area were superb and although parking is a little difficult there is a small car park just down the road to park in with extended stay tickets.
Needs some tlc and modernising. Although in a good location it’s spoilt by the lack of decor and poor quality. The staff were very nice and helpful customers from the pub tended to smoke and chat right under our window and it was very noisy the karaoke went on till midnight.

You get what you pay for
Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.
