Absolutely loved it!

You really do pay for what you get. All of the staff from reception, bar staff and waiting on staff were extremely attentive, polite and professional. The hotel has a premium price tag yet everything there from side tables, lamps and mirrors are all premium. The decor is respectful to the original building yet they have also managed to make the hotel new. We drank in the bar, we ate in the restaurant, used the spa and booked treatments - it was exceptional. We arrived home today and plan on booking this hotel for over Christmas. We loved it!

Lovely hitel in an udeal location, 5 min walk to Windermere Kake and town center with plenty of shops and eateries. The spa is ideal after a busy day out to unwind in. Cosy small double room was also modern and comfy, and a good size. Complimentary Elemis toiletries in bathroom too. We ate at the restaurant onsite which was very enjoyable.

Good but not excellent

Hotel in a great location, bed comfort along with sofa comfort very poor. Well used ! Water pressure poor in the shower. Hotel very clean with friendly service and the Bentley car is a great touch for being dropped off anywhere local, spa bar a great touch.being charged £12 per day for car parking when you don’t book direct is a charge too far. Breakfast good but you have to be clear with the breakfast staff to avoid confusion.

It’s ok

Our stay was ok. It was a lovely hotel with fantastic customer service but we were disappointed with the Spa being open to kids and quite a lot at the same time. Kids were playing in the plunge pool and hot tubs which made it difficult to relax and ruined our stay as we were only allowed to use the facilitates the same time as kids. This became an issue in the changing rooms too as the locker area is very small. We probably wouldn’t revisit and I’d definitely opt for kid-free spa’s now.
