Staff were great, bed was extremely comfy, breakfast included was decent. The only negative was the condition of the room being quite run down but the bed and A/C made up for this.

Disappointed

Was disappointed with room as very noisy at night with people coming in at 12 and in the early morning traffic. Also the breakfast wasn’t as warm as we liked even at first sitting . Thought we were staying at the hotel at waters edge not a bloke across the road .

The hotel is in a great location and we had a Windermere room behind hotel across the road. Car parking was a bonus. Breakfast good. Had lunch there with family who came to us and it was very disappointing which was a shame.

It’s not a bad place to stay. The only thing is it wasn’t worth £620 for 2 nights. If it was less price, it would be ok

Lovely night away

Absolutely beautiful place, very clean and perfect location. Perfect night away. Only slight downer was that I could hear someone in the room next door snoring all night but that’s not the hotels fault. I searched for hours for somewhere to take our dog and he was made very welcome and happy here.
