Stunning hotel, stunning location & really nice and caring staff. Thanks so much for making our stay so special, really cannot wait to come back! We stayed in room 2, and it was fantastic, by far the best hotel in the Lake District me and my other half said. Thanks again :D

Alex United Kingdom

Great friendly service, areas of the grounds looking a little tired and would benefit from some attention.

Tony United Kingdom

Made so welcome and safe yet gave the highest standards of food and comfort in stunning surroundings

Rob United Kingdom

Fantastic location & view stunning! Lovely staff and amazing food!

Jessica United Kingdom

We booked a double room with lake view . It was superb with great view of the lake. There is river running down the hill which you can listen to when you open the windows. The surrounding is very beautiful. The spa was good too.

Gagliam2000 United Kingdom

Breakfast was lovely. The room exceeded our expectations and the staff were very helpful and super friendly. Our stay was so good we booked to stay the next night too.

Michelle United Kingdom

The hotel was in a good location with our room over looking the lake with the sounds of a waterfall through our room window. It's peaceful and tranquil. The room is in keeping with the house decoration, it's a in classic style. Love the widow bay seating area as it is great to sest having a cup of tea watching the view, especially in the morning with the mist while it starts to clear up. Simply enchanting.

Justin United Kingdom

Beautiful historic hotel, full of character. Fantastic views over Windermere and the Lake District Fells. Excellent food.

Stephen United Kingdom

It was far removed from the world which was great and the views up in the hills looking down to the lakes were just exceptional. Amazing friendly staff and beautiful fine dining and wine paring experience as well. Would definitely come again! Covid secure which was great too.

Serena United Kingdom

The view from our room was amazing and very courteous staff
