We enjoyed a two night stay at this very nice hotel. The room was delightful, large and spotlessly clean. The tea and coffee tray was a welcome addition and much appreciated after a walk in the cold winter air. The hotel is situated two minutes walk away from the lake (which is beautiful, even in winter) and only ten minutes from the main shopping area. The staff were cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was buffet style, hot and cold, with a good variety of foods on offer, all cooked well.
Perfect get away for a peaceful weekend.

Had a weekend in this first class hotel during October. Our first time here but will certainly not be the last. A really well organised and friendly hotel in a glorious location on the tip of Lake Windermere. The Staff and Service was excellent and the food was well above standard and just about every aspect of this hotel is faultless !! We had a room that was spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. An excellent hotel for any time of year and highly recommended.

Chose this hotel for its looks - what a disapointment!!!!
It looks as though it is set in its own grounds - that couldnt be further from the truth!
Its set on a main road up a VERY steep drive, with a small garden to the front that you cant walk round.
We werent even in the hotel proper - its has 4 rooms that look like a conversion adjacent to the hotel - this was not mentioned in the "blurb" or when we booked.
It serves breakfast but nothing else, and has no bar.
The room we had was very modern without any character and was poorly laid out - the bathroom on the otherhand was very large but again was very bare - lots of slate.
Whoever took the photos for this hotel is worth their weight in gold - theyve managed to make a mediocre hotel look much better than it is.
They have a "sister" hotel across the road that they reccomend for meals - only go if you have deep pockets - we were charged five pounds for a "tomato and onion salad" - this was actually 4 slices of tomato with a bit of onion grated over the top with a sprinkling of basil.
It is very close to the lake but actually has restricted views unless you get the best seat in the breakfast room!!
I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone with any walking difficulties due to the steep driveway.
This hotel is very over priced for what you get - maybe its better if you get a room in the hotel itself.
Wouldnt go again.

Our stay was for 2 nights and arriveed to a very warm welcome, the staff are brilliant, the room was hugh, spotless and very warm, we took advantage of the DVD loan from a good selection which is a nice touch. Breakfast was excellent being self service means you need not go hungary all the hot choices where very well cooked, and there was a widw selection of cold options too. The kippers which you order the evening before where fantastic. Parking is plentyful and surroundings/views are great, right on the lake ideal for boat rides. A short 15 minute stroll and you are in the town centre where there is a range of shops, pubs and restaurants.
