The breakfast was great, cafetieres of fresh coffee and full English. The room was clean comfortable and very well stocked with tea coffee biscuits hot chocolate bottled water. Heated towel rail and a good fan kept the bathroom warm and dry.

Eleanor

Room was really spacious and looked amazing, bed and pillows really comfy! Staff were really friendly and great to talk to. Weren’t serving food at the time but happy to recommend places to go. Entire building is really well presented and decorated. Would stay again when back in the area.

The amazing full English breakfast was the best I had on my UK trip. Kudos to the chef! Besides this..The comfy bed, clean toilets, ample toiletries and towels, coffee tee provisions and the amazing view from the window .

Staff very personable. Breakfast really good the first two mornings; as the days went by, the quality seemed to deteriorate. Quiet evenings because the chef quit and so the dining room was empty. Great for reading.

The only problem was certain things in the room were not as clean as they could be. Little bit of damp on the ceiling and a mug wasn’t cleaned properly. Not a big deal but just thought i would raise it. The toilet seat was also not attached properly.
It was comfortable and we relaxed. Employees polite and nice to speak to. Lovely location and good value for money.

Absolutely amazing value. The room was clean and tidy and stylish. Brandon was a credit to the establishment and his knowledge of Star Wars was particularly impressive! Also, that breakfast, it was lovely. All round excellent stay and I'll try to ensure we come back soon.

The ONLY thing that I could be negative about was the location , it was a 40 minute walk into bowness , which in the summer would be pleasant but not so much in november .
Everything else was to our satisfaction , room was nice with a comfy bed and lovely pillows ,the staff were great - friendly and informative and the breakfast delicious .

When we arrived (1.30pm) the building was all closed and lights off with a hand written note on the door asking for arrivals to call. We called several times and there was no answer- we decided to leave our car and walk into town for some food and drinks...2 hours later and we still hadn't heard anything. I called again several more times and finally I got through to someone. They stated we would need to return by 7pm to collect keys as this is when the bar closed. We collected the keys and the room was okay- cleanish the shower still had empty bottles of used body wash in!! Comfy bed. We didnt go down for breakfast so I cant comment on this. So no bar after 7pm!!!! But alot of the beers were unavailable anyway!
Comfy bed. Cleanish room.

No food in the bar and the bar was closed even on a Saturday night, hotel locked up with guests having to let themselves in the back door. Staff said manager, kitchen staff and housekeeping had all left sixteen weeks ago and there was only him and one other trying to keep the hotel running. I only booked this hotel because it had a bar menu and a bar that I was willing to spend in, but with it closed!!! Wish I had been told about staff and I would have had the option to go elsewhere.
Very clean and what staff there were, they were friendly

“Just what we were looking for.”

Only very tiny things, offered here with constructive intent. No teaspoons with the tea/coffee making facilities in the room, and the only teabags were Earl Grey. Would have liked some Marmite at breakfast (told you they were tiny!) If a big, spacious bathroom is important to you, you'd have been disappointed by ours, but everything worked fine and we were very happy with it.
Very friendly welcome. Very comfortable room and bed. Good breakfast in a nice space. Good parking, easy to find, quiet at night (despite being on main road). Close to restaurants (Windermere ~1 mile away, Ambleside a few miles the other direction). We could see snow on the hills from our window in the morning.
