The property is ideally located with lovely sitting area outside by the lake and walkable into the town centre. The breakfast buffet was very good and plenty of variety and the meals were also very good. Our accommodation was in the dog friendly section over the road from the main hotel, which was a short walk across the road. Our room was on the ground floor and could not leave the windows open as backed onto car park. There was no air conditioning so the room was very hot which made it difficult to sleep. The pillows were hard and no fridge in the room just an empty cupboard which looked like once held a fridge. The gutter was leaking so when it rained all the water poured down and made it very noisy. Some of the staff were abrupt and not very pleasant including the bar man on the outside bar . The hotel was expensive and basically overpriced for the service we got. Premier Inn are cheaper and friendly staff, unfortunately none around the Lakes. The bar staff were helpful and friendly and if you stayed for 2 nights and opted to not have room serviced then you got a free drink at the bar, we got 2 glasses of medium wine free (normally about £16) do this was good. We would not stay here again.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Dinner was good but expensive, love the concept of a free drink in lieu of the room being cleaned if staying for 2 nights or more.

Staff were great, bed was extremely comfy, breakfast included was decent. The only negative was the condition of the room being quite run down but the bed and A/C made up for this.

Disappointed

Was disappointed with room as very noisy at night with people coming in at 12 and in the early morning traffic. Also the breakfast wasn’t as warm as we liked even at first sitting . Thought we were staying at the hotel at waters edge not a bloke across the road .

It’s not a bad place to stay. The only thing is it wasn’t worth £620 for 2 nights. If it was less price, it would be ok

Location magnificent and iseal for a lakes holiday. Restaurant bar good. Dinner menu very average. Staff very friendly. Complimentary breakfast poor and cooked items almost cold. Very limited if you are vegetarian. Parking is a major issue. If you can get a space hang on to it. Would be inadequate even iif exclusive to residents but also at a charge open to non-residents. Overall impression disappointing but could easily be brilliant.

The hotel is in a great location and we had a Windermere room behind hotel across the road. Car parking was a bonus. Breakfast good. Had lunch there with family who came to us and it was very disappointing which was a shame.
