Spa is excellent, always clean, open throughout the day which is perfect. We received a room upgrade upon arrival which was a lovely touch, the hot tubs on the balcony are perfect. One of our favourite if not favourite places to stay In Bowness/windermere area because of the hot tubs.

Some lovely touches, prosecco upon arrival, beautiful lounges etc. The location was excellent and the staff were very accommodating. The breakfasts were only average. A buffet style and the hot food was tepid at best, not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. Our bathroom was very basic with cracked tiles and a shower door that leaked. No fridge in the room which was odd. Overall a good stay but surprisingly overlooked some of the basics.
