to get started.

Lovely staff, spa, restaurants, dining and a great building - a mix of old and new in a great location. It was our 2nd stay/use of the spa in 3 months, that’s how good it was!

The hotel has some new parts which are very well done. The ambiance of the reception to the seating area is great. The highlight of this hotel is the STAFF. They are soo sweet and welcoming, warm and just nice people. I think we were served by Dave at brunch and he was just so kind. Honestly top level customer service. We had deserts the other restaurant ‘windermere’ and again the girl at the reception was so nice, we met a guy later at breakfast from the staff and again so friendly. The hotel also has a great view, the lake right in front and not a very busy place in general so its calmer. Overall i enjoyed my stay.

Housekeeping can seem a little rushed, for example we run out of loo roll and it wasn’t replaced. Turndown service was offered 1 night but not the next.

We booked a double room which was small. We had a hand carry and a suitcase with us, with this amount of stuff the room looked packed. It was hot on the day we arrived, no air conditioning in the room although they have a small fan in the room. The furniture is old and the bathroom accessories are old too, it does need an upgrade specially with the price that you pay.

The decor in the lounge/bar area is a little old fashioned but that is a very minor point and made up by the rest of beautiful places throughout the hotel.
The location was amazing with some fantastic walks from the hotel and lots to do around the lake - we hired a boat for two hours which was really good value. Not to mention the incredible views of Windermere and the variety of places you can sit to enjoy these. Rooms were also very nice - really clean, comfy beds and a lovely view. The staff were very thoughtful. It was my partner's birthday and a card, balloon and chocolates had been left in the room. Food was great - we had breakfast and dinner in the Windermere which were both lovely and afternoon tea which was also great.

The room we had booked two months in advance was Lakesidd and cost just under £300 for the night, the room was near the busy main road and the window would lose so the traffic noise was very loud as it was a weekend, The hotel couldn’t fix the window so moved us to a room at the rear of the hotel with a fell view which looked kind a slag he’d as building work had just been finished. We were locked out of the room at midnight after the wedding as the keys hadn’t been programmed and it involved going down the hill to contact reception which was in another building. We were give £75 off the room charge but we were very disappointed that our booking had not been upheld. It was difficult to get to speak to a manager, however he did contact me to apologise on my return home, too little too late for me I’m afraid, this hotel needs time to settle down after a huge refurb.
Wedding guests so ideal to stay on site
