This is a lovely old hotel run in a rather faceless corporate way by the MacDonald Group. The public rooms are lovely, if a little cold - there are lovely fireplaces - get them lit!! the food is nice, in the large dining room. The bedrooms are comfortable.

Stayed here in Jan 2012... great location next to Lake Ullswater, very old fashioned style service which may not suit everyone.... four star hotel with 5 star London prices on food and beverages... The "inclusive" dinner on the DBB rate is not really what it seems... if you want a bottle of mineral water, some vegetables and a desert with... More

I had stayed to this hotel many years ago when it was a Forte heritage. Macdonald hotels have had this for 5 years. I could not believe that nothing and I mean nothing had changed in 15 years!

Many of our group booked additional nights'... More
