    Rooms need an upgrade for the hotel to flow as the rooms lack the wow factor and are underwhelming also the view we had was a white wall. Quite noisy during the night (Friday) as we were located by two corridors.

    Clean, lovely views when sat in the conservatory. Good spa facilities. Staff very friendly.

    Evening meal in the bistro was overpriced and the limited menu did not change for our 4 night stay. £5.70 a pint in the bar is way over priced.

    good sized room with comfortable bed. Nice view over the lake. Good breakfast. Sauna and steam room very welcome after a days walking. Some nice walks available from the hotel.

    We only ate at the brasserie as the restaurant was booked. Extremely limited options, zero imagination (burgers and fish & chips basically), average food and very expensive prices.

    Hotel is in a great location in the southern tip of Windermere with pretty views. Literally a few steps away and you can grab the boat to Bowness or Ambleside. same with a small steam train to Haverthwaite. Spa facilities were lovely. Breakfast was typical, nothing amazing but nothing I felt was missing also.

    The spa could of been better, could of been more choice on evening menu, if you didn't want to pay for the restaurant, rooms a bit data for what you pay for the room, didn't have the wow factor for the price you pay for a room

    The food was lovely and well presented, there could have been more choice, maybe a couple more options for a three night stay.. Especially when only one restraunt is open..

    Lovely time of year for a quiet 3 night break when the hotel is not to busy. Stayed here many times before and will return again.

    The family court yard view room does not have any view. One window is opaque and other looks at a wall. They’d allocated guests a designated table for breakfast / dinner / brunch. I didn’t want to sit at designated table in oak room for breakfast as it was internal and I booked the hotel specifically for lakeside breakfasts. So ask for a lakeside table in advance! They don’t always have this system they said. Fine if you get a nice table! Given I asked for change on first morning you’d have thought they could have sorted it for third morning breakfast or let us sit at one of the empty lake view tables!! It would have been so nice to enjoy a sunny morning looking at the lake. The wood panelling is nice but not where I’d chose to sit for breakfast in the lakes. We left brunch as soon as we could to get out and enjoy the lake views.

    Location, pool and hotel facilities were great! Bike storage and helpful staff. Comfortable family room with mini bunk bed. Walks and cycles from the door. Excellent firework display at new year!
