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.

All staff very welcoming and informative, nothing too much trouble, dining room/breakfast was first class, pity the same can't be made for the bathroom whitch is very small,and was let down by bodged repairs, the towel rail had an external wire coming from the thermostat to the socket and was taped up with black tape, not very reassuring, in the brochure it states two minutes from the lakes, a bit optimistic took me nearly four in a car.

I’ve stayed in places far more expensive that were a lot worse. It’s by all means not the best place in the Lakes but the price you pay reflects what you get👍

Room on top floor. Lift was working. Twin room, room was a bit tired and could do with redecoration. Facilities were fine, tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was good, traditional or other available. Dinner was in the annexed bar. Food included in my hotel price and was very good. Good selection. Parking was available at a charge of 6 ounds per day.

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.
