The stay was good. The hotel was good value for money and was very clean. Staff were helpful and professional. The location is great - walkable to Windermere and Bowness. The parking was mostly ok - there is more parking at the back of the property, however at one point the manager had blocked the entrance to the car park with their own vehicle which meant it was not accessible to guests. This was poor form in our opinion - the receptionist hesitantly advised it was the managers vehicle when we made them aware there was a car blocking the car park and that we’d parked a few streets away - and nervously offered to ask them to move it - but knowing how limited the parking is, the manager shouldn’t have blocked the access. A couple of other points for improvement: the 4-poster bed whilst a nice idea wasn’t very practical as the view of the TV from the bed was blocked by one of the posts. Water was also not replenished each day, we were only given one small bottle each in the room when we arrived. The decor in places was tired - the hotel could do with a refresh, but overall this was good value for money and we would stay here again.

It was overall lovely. Room we had had another door only accessible by the staff. As my husband walked out of the shower. And i was sleeping, they loudly knocked and barged in...very uncomfortable. We couldnt access that door and felt quite unsafe having that door there. The dust ontop of the curtains , under the bed was a lot.. triggered some allergies. Was a beautiful lodge and breakfast was great.

Great stay

Beautiful stay. Great location, beds comfy and breakfast is great. All the staff are really nice and hard working too. Only downside is the noise from other guests either walking around their rooms, banging doors or snoring next door.

I'm so conflicted, don't know which we liked best. The staff or the breakfast.... Not far from the lake unless you have been hobbled in some way. Remember that what goes down the hill must come back up the hill They need something like a corner shelf in the shower to put things like soap or shampoo. I'm not sure you can buy soap on a rope anymore. We would come back

An average guest house. Friendly staff and comfortable bed. I felt more could be done to reduce waste. For example using glasses instead of plastic cups in room; using shampoo and shower gel dispensers; using small dishes of marmalade and butter, weetabix in a large container rather than individual plastic wraps. Breakfast was ok though cooking of black pudding was poor and the bread could have been nicer. A bit noisy from room next door, you could hear the neighbours talking.
