Family room
Was really disappointing the shower area was so tiny you couldn’t turn around if you did the shower curtain kept sticking to you and so much damp in this tiny area. You had to keep your arms in.
The TV kept freezing and you could turn the Tv over with the remote control. The
The breakfast was nice.

great location spotless and big rooms
Great room four poster bed and lake view. Great location close to all amenities. Only one little downside was choice at breakfast not great and although they did boiled eggs one morning for my wife the next morning they wouldn’t do them for me. However would come back and dog friendly which is a bonus for us. And dog got sausage at breakfast which is great.

リピートしたいホテルです。
駅からは徒歩で約20分。
周りの景色を楽しみながら、楽しく歩けました。
そしてHill top 行きの船着場までお散歩にちょうどいい距離で、その中間くらいにピーターラビットの美術館みたいなのがありました。
ホテルは新しくはないけど、大変居心地がよくて朝食も美味しくてスタッフの方々も大変親切でした。最高に贅沢な休日をありがとうございました。

Nice hotel close to the town centre and the lake
They allowed my husband and i to check in early as we were at a wedding, they advised us the room will not be ready but we could leave our bags which was awesome.
Not sure all rooms are the same but it was a lovely view and could see part of lake windermere.
Our room had a double 4 poster bed and a single bed. The only downside was the poster bed, it wasnt comfy and every time you moved it was squeaking. In the end i moved to single bed which was a little more comfy.
The breakfast was yummy could of had a range of things too.

Great value for money
Very comfortable room and very clean. Decor a little tired but that didn’t put us off. Staff couldn’t be more friendly and cannot do enough to make your stay memorable. Breakfast was fantastic and again staff very attentive. Bars and restaurants within a short walk.Overall very good value for money. Would definitely stay here again.
