Not good

The service was good but the place is old looking and feels old when moving round to the floors and the old lift which we could not use because we did not trust it but for price we paid was not worth it and dont think will go back anytime soon

They have the longest hallway I’ve ever seen. Our room needs a good 5 minutes walk from reception. The room itself is pretty old and dusty. We can hear people walking above us with squeaky wood floor sound and window is broken so we can easily hear cars on the road. Convenient location from train station although need to climb up a hill.

And older property that is tired. However, the room was very quiet despite being next to a door and lift. With the window open 6" it was warm and comfortable. Lots of hot water and a very handy but limited (paid) car parking. AND the view over Windermere was FAB!!!!! However, BE CAREFUL when entering and exiting the car parking to the main road - blind corner.
