Great hosts and breakfast of champions

Great experience from start to end. Great goat. Comfy bed and superb breakfast. It’s limited in that you have to specify what time you want it which is within a specific window but that was fine for us. Enjoyed it and would return

The property was within walking distance of Windermere and Bowness. The hotel was spotless as were the rooms with some lovely personal touches. The breakfast was amazing with a choice of 24 hot options, you just had to order by 6.30pm the night before. On top of that there was cereals, fresh fruit, cheese, yoghurt, toast, fruit juice, tea and coffee - absolutely superb. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Lake District.

Schrödinger’s lounge - is it there or not?

A curious though adequate place, at times we felt as though we were a bit of an inconvenience - we got stuck in traffic so a couple of hours later than predicted - greeted with ‘oh, you were meant to be here earlier but we’ll take your breakfast order anyway’ (must be in before 6pm, it was nearer 7). We were told and show. The lounch with honesty bar. We weren’t told it’s locked - yes locked - at 10. We arrived back from dinner at 3 minutes past to find this out. The following night it was closed by 9.55pm. Breakfast was good but it really lacked the ambience or conviviality which would have improved the stay

The breakfast was amazing

The hotel is short distance from the ferries, so is well situated. The check-in was friendly, quick and efficient. Cleanliness was good, towels were changed second night and bin empty every day. The breakfast was amazing, lots to choose from. Price for what we paid and overall experience, well worth it. Recommend the place.
