Good hotel, in a great location. However finishing touches around the hotel were not complete and it felt they were missing small details which would make it a better stay and worth the money. Currently, not the best value for money

The place is very nice, with good views, and close to the village and lake. My complaint is with relation between the price and the quality of the room, because we were asigned to the 3rd floor with no lifts, and the roof of the room in some areas was low, and I bumped my head twice. And that room was one of the more expensive options.

Rm 16 was amazing. Breakfast staff were run off their feet and flustered due to only 3 staff of duty. The South African lady at the reception desk was was so friendly& helpful, she'd make a good manager!

The hotel was above my expectations. We felt welcome, looked after and everything was just tip top. We had an Occasion room with lake view. The room was spacious and felt newly refurbished. The bed was comfortable, big and linen luxurious. Smart TV was a bonus. Breakfast was very tasty. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We used sauna and pool. Excellent stay!

From the minute we pulled up to the hotel we knew we’d picked the right one out of the abundance in Windermere and the best bit, it was cheeper. The staff couldn’t do enough to help and make your stay easier, even after checkout. The hotel was modern and subtle and perfectly presented and the views, while relaxing in one of the several lounge areas inside and out, were outstanding. The breakfast !! Unreal. We will be staying again and I recommend you do too.
