Whilst the rooms are comfortable they need serious updating. Furnishings are old and dated. This dampens the experience. Jacuzzi was broken.

Dinner, whilst skilfully made was very expensive and tiny portions. £72 min for the 4 course menu which I didn't feel was good value. The canapes were minimal for 4 of us. There were only two of each canape, even though there were 4 of us. The bread and butter was minimal, only two plates of bread even though there were 4 of us dining. The front of house staff (reception) were great but the restaurant staff, in particular one waiter, was quite abrupt and questioned my choice to have ice with my wine, commenting that I would ruin a good wine. We asked for a wine from the menu, but he insisted quite rudely that wine wasn't on the menu. When we showed him the menu and the wine we had chosen, he then backed down and said he didn't realise that wine was on the menu. There was a distinct communication problem. The chap on the bar couldn't speak a word of English, my husband had to ask 7 times for G&T as he couldn't understand what G&T was. Most of the staff were foreign which caused issues communicating. Our bill was wrong on checkout. The hotel is in a wonderful setting but the décor was very dated, I'm sure in its hay day it was the place to go, but now feels old fashioned. A strange experience all in all.
Breakfast. Warm and comfortable bedrooms. The views over Lake Windermere. Excellent location. Hot tub.
