Yes the room was very comfortable & clean.
Service at the bar & restaurant for food was excellent.
Beautiful older hotel with lovely gardens set on the lake with fantastic views of the lake from the bar and outside patio, comfortable slightly old fashioned in a good way, staff were excellent, helpful and welcoming. Would stay again.
Great location by the lake, friendly staff, great room and superb breakfast. Couldn't have been any better really!

Staff were really friendly. Hotel and grounds were beautiful. Rooms were spotless. They also left a teddy on my daughters bed, which was lovely.the only 2 downsides were the WiFi (room 20) wasn’t reliable, this is fine if you don’t need the internet but if you intend to use it was a bit of pain because there was no mobile signal either. I like that it is a dog friendly hotel, however we had a dog barking most of the night at the hotel.
An absolute gem. A beautiful hotel with very nice rooms. The restaurant was top notch and the food was delicious. I can’t say enough good things about the hotel. Book a room, you won’t be disappointed.
Service was absolutely brilliant from all of the team and all webt above a d beyond to make our stay such a great experience. Cleanliness was spot on and the rooms are so spacious and decorated to such a high standard too. Breakfast was excellent and lots of choice too..well worth booking again thankyou to all staff 😀
Excellent over night stop off. Every member of the team we met was fantastic and the food at both dinner and breakfast was delicious.
Stunning hotel in a stunning location and beautifully my able to walk down to the lake front was an added bonus. Would recommend without question and would definitely stay again.
The hotel was absolutely amazing. Stunning views. The staff was amazing and food was to die for the rooms was beautiful and clean .went for my daughters wedding . Would definitely recommend 10 out off ten .
Got married here two years ago, got upgraded as it was our anniversary. Food good, choice of dinner or bar menu. Beautiful location, goes out on to lake Windermere. Staff kind and helpful and the room was spotless. Thank you for making our anniversary memorable ❤️
Beautiful old hotel with amazing grounds & easy walk to the lake. The room was spacious for 3 adults & we were very well looked after.
Only downside was mh husband not having his favourite bourbon & no tawny port for me!!
Thats being picky!!
