We paid £65 for a cosy room and for the price it is okay but wouldn't want to pay anymore. Walls and doors are thin so can hear every door slam and people talking. Shower wouldn't drain. Other than that is a good place for a one night stay and easy access to outside

Nice location, large showers, and bed was comfortable. But the light switch next to the bedside didnt work, and there were screws coming out. Towel radiator didnt work to dry my towels. Staff weren't welcoming, and poor communication between hotel and restaurant, because they didn't know I had booked.

It's in a perfect location right in the village. The lobby was nice and staff were friendly. The rooms are ok but could definitely use some upgrades. Mattresses were old, there were nearly no plugs, and we had two beetles in the room. Also, you have to pay for parking which feels like a bit of a scam.

Hi, I was satisfied with my stay. I booked a superior room with en suite. I could choose to do pre-check in electronic and all I needed to do at check in was sign and collect my room key. The room didn’t have a latch, so I didn’t feel very secure. It was clean. There was a coffee/tea tray. Hand soap and shampoo. However no iron or hair dryer. The location is good, 5 minutes walk to Windermere train station and 20 minutes walk to Bowness. There are plenty of good food options 5 minute walk away. Staff were not very chatty, but efficient so no fault. There is no secure luggage storage if arriving before check in. However you are free to leave bags without valuables in designated area.

The stay was pleasant although there were concerns. Our room had "hidden step"between bathroom and bedroom, it should be highlighted with hi viz reflective tape. The food was nice,the staff were very helpful. The views are lovely, not happy with having to pay £6.00 per day for parking having paid to stay there anyway. We're registered disabled how ever the disabled sign was barely visible??? We would return though.

Really lovely stay. Loved the high ceiling in the bedroom and the fantastic view of Windermere even from the ground floor. Tea/coffee making facilities. Very helpful friendly staff, great location and so easy to use. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again. Could do with more pegs/shelves in bathroom.
