Would recommend The Gateway.

Very nice room, clean and tidy, mattress was a little bit soft but other than that superb. Arrival chocolates was a nice touch too. Food was amazing and good selection of beers available.

Great food and value for money.

Excellent value for money, the room was lovely with a great view. A little welcome present as well. The food was fantastic, had the roast they do, very nice! Staff were all very polite and helpful, definitely recommend, half way between Windermere and Kendal, so a great location.

The room was overstuffed with furniture and difficult to manoeuvre. The coffee was undrinkable and I paid $16 AUD for 2 pieces of toast. Situated a fair distance from the town centre, so would have chosen differently in hindsight.

Comfortable friendly Lakeland hotel

Comfortable stay in rooms of good decor with friendly and engaging staff. Excellent breakfast and good dinner menu. Bed rather too soft, but I understand due to be replaced shortly. Competitively priced for those visiting lakes with transport.
