Lovely area ,great views,property was tired and creaky. Staff were very pleasant ,£6.50 a pint and £8 a glass of wine caused a serious lack of drinking. If you want to go anywhere,the local roads are tight and twisty with some the bushes were touching my mirrors. All in all pleasant stay,but don’t think I’ll be back.

Stunning location but room very hot

Great stay overall but due to no air conditioning available in the rooms, the heat was unbearable in the hot weather. A small fan was in the room but didn't make too much difference. The room was nice but could've done with modernising more like having plugs near the bed with USBs in and more modern decor. Beautiful location and breakfast was lovely.

The room which we had was Comfortable and clean… a little warm with no air conditioning but there was a fan which helped a little. The spa and pool facilities was excellent.

Beautiful location and friendly helpful staff. However, there wasn't a walk-in shower (only over the bath) and no handrails. Also the room was very hot and we were advised not to open the windows after dark!

I booked this very quickly by just searching Google for "Lake District hotels" one evening and I was very pleased. It is expensive, but it is a 4* hotel, so you would expect to pay a higher price than others. We found the staff brilliant and the room fantastic, although we did get a free upgrade on arrival which was nice, so I can't comment on the room we actually booked! The location is perfect, lovely views and really convienient for the Lake Cruises next door. We did not use the Spa, but did use the sauna and pool, which were great. We only used the Brasserie for the evening meals, and we liked the meals so much, we had the same both nights! (Fish and Chips and the Lakeside Burger) Breakfast was more than enough, with so many choices and great service from the staff. It is an old hotel, but that should not put people off, whilst they are doing lots of renovation, it did not ruin or disturb our time there (I think there was work taking place but we didn't see or hear anything). Our room had old photos on the wall and you can see it has been an established hotel for many years. We chatted to a few other guests and they were all very complimentary about the place. A couple of staff that we remember that were very friendly and we chatted to, were David (at breakfast) and Sheya (I think that was her name in the Brasserie) but there were others and all were really nice. if you want a authentic period (modernised) hotel that fits the "lake district" vibe, book it!

Beautiful location. Room size good. But for the cost of the room i expected better. Our room was old and in need of refurb. Wallpaper was peeling and there was mould and watermarks. Bed was on a downward slope at the head of bed. No air con but there was a fan. No room fridge so you couldnt keep any water cold. Stay came with breakfast which was good. We ate at both restaurants during our stay. Limited menu and very expensive.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and it was as enjoyable as the first stay. Staff very friendly, happy to accomodate any request, within reason. Very quite despite being very busy, great views of the lake and great location. Windermere Lake Cruises almost on the door step for getting out and about . Plenty of choice for breakfast and very good.
