Lovely hotel with an amazing view of the lake, very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was delicious, and we managed to get a dinner booking at the sister hotel on a very busy evening which we greatly appreciate.

Laurence United Kingdom

Staff were excellent throughout our stay. We were upgraded on arrival which made our stay even better. The location is perfect for the views across Windemere, location between Windemere & other lakes. We cannot fault the hotel or its staff in any way, they really made our stay very special.

Breakfast was lovely . Nothing was a trouble and requests were fully met . Staff very polite and attentive.

Sally United Kingdom

Location was easily accessible to numerous places not just by car but by public transport of various types, car park and ability to leave the car during check out day to enable further exploring without struggle to find somewhere else to park. Hotel itself clean, staff friendly

Emm_a22 United Kingdom

Ambiance was relaxed and layout of the Hotel was also very good. Our room was excellent and no complaints.

Manni4444 United Kingdom

The room was clean and tidy and spacious and warm. We had a little outside seating area. Also theres a feeling of privacy as all the doors lead to a courtyard area. Almost like having your own private residence. The staff were delightful. And the food was wonderful.
