Some mixed reviews on here but we had room 10 and it was lovely with a view of Lake Windermere in the distance. It was clean with everything we needed. All the staff we came across were friendly. Drinks were reasonably priced, food was nice. Breakfast in the morning was all we needed. Really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Lots of positives and would definitely consider staying here again if we were to visit the lakes in the future. The hotel is very well presented, all communal areas are clean, tidy and in great condition. The location is brilliant, you are a short 5-10 minute walk from both Windermere’s main town centre, or the lake front at Bowness. There is a local pub opposite which wasn’t bad either. The building stands impressive at the top of the hill, with a decent sized car park in front, the approach is steep, but it’s easy enough to turn around in. Room was a good size and extremely well equipped with some modern features and luxuries you wouldn’t normally expect. That said, there were a few negatives which could be improved upon. Firstly, we both found the bed extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was firm and unforgiving, only a small notch up from sleeping on a camping bed! Secondly, the room was very hot, and difficult to cool down. We were on the top floor, so quite stuffy due to being up in the roof eves. There is no air conditioning and the windows are fitted with safety catches, so they don’t open wide and there was no way to prop the sash window open. Lastly the walls are thin, and the sound insulation is poor, we had a young family next door so it was quite noisy. A couple of other really minor things to mention, the TV remote didn’t work very well. Think the batteries need changing, we did try others from the light up mirror but this was barely working, so I don’t think these had much juice either and whilst the room had an iron, there was no ironing board - again, nothing major. Overall, a decent stay for the price and we feel it represents good value for money. With some small improvements this could be excellent.

We spent two nights at this fantastic hotel. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming to make your stay happy and comfortable. Paul serving drinks in bar very friendly with everyone. 👍 Occasion Room 12 in main building, exceptionally clean with gorgeous views. The king size bed and pillows were too firm for us and we had to request softer pillows. Shower gel was not replenished and also asked for this. Reception were happy to fulfil requests. Delicious food at each meal and fulfil any special requests. The terrace is very peaceful overlooking beautiful views. Tips …. Ask not to be placed in annexe as this is a solitary detached house adjacent with a walkway. Drinks are extremely expensive so keep a tab but they expensive throughout most of Windermere. If you have poor mobility, there is a steep walk up the driveway so you may have to use your car. We highly recommend this hotel for a short break and we were extremely lucky to have superb weather. Thank you to all the staff. 😀😀😎😎

We have just returned from a 3 night stay for our anniversary. Beutiful building grounds well looked after. Great parking facilities, great location Staff are warm and welcoming and certainly not stuffy which is sometimes a problem when staying in a country house. Bar is superb beautifully decorated comfy with a lovely open fire crackling away. Our room, room 1 is a four poster room with views of the mere lovely old room not best location directly adjacent to stairs but none the less we loved it. Food we ate at the hotel on 2 evenings in both restaurants and the food is fantastic not a huge menu but something for everyone. Breakfast was great and we ate alone every morning 🙈🙈 due to being early risers. Location is also great bus stop at end of driveway so gateway to the lake district at your door we parked the car up when we arrived and never used it the rest of the time. The beutiful Highland cows at the end of the drive is a lovely welcome and we stopped by daily for a chat. All in all we had a great warm stay with lovely welcoming staff great food and drinks within lovely surroundings we will be back.

It's a classic case of staying somewhere you've stayed before that has changed hands and gone downhill. Apart from the generous off road parking everything has changed for the worst. The person on the check in desk, who we only saw once during our 3 night stay, seemed uninterested apart from handing over the key to the room. The room was adequate at best not dirty but not spotless either. Breakfast each day was a bit shambolic, constantly running out of hot water for tea and coffee, bread for toast and fresh orange juice. We actually felt sorry for the girl doing the breakfast service as one person had no chance of serving so many guests efficiently. We were able to find out that the hotel had become part of a group and was obviously being as cheaply as possible. We wont be staying again and would not recommend it to anyone which is a shame as it has been a very nice place to stay in the past.

What can I say about this wonderful little place, that hasn’t already been said? We visited here on Sunday, for the pre booked 3 course Sunday Lunch and we’re so glad that we did! Our joint of beef was cooked to perfection! The vegetables and trimmings were delicious! The parsnip and pear soup and white onion soup were stunning and the desserts were super. The staff were friendly and polite and their customer service was great. Take my advice and visit here, you won’t be disappointed!
