It's in a perfect location right in the village. The lobby was nice and staff were friendly. The rooms are ok but could definitely use some upgrades. Mattresses were old, there were nearly no plugs, and we had two beetles in the room. Also, you have to pay for parking which feels like a bit of a scam.

Hi, I was satisfied with my stay. I booked a superior room with en suite. I could choose to do pre-check in electronic and all I needed to do at check in was sign and collect my room key. The room didn’t have a latch, so I didn’t feel very secure. It was clean. There was a coffee/tea tray. Hand soap and shampoo. However no iron or hair dryer.
The location is good, 5 minutes walk to Windermere train station and 20 minutes walk to Bowness. There are plenty of good food options 5 minute walk away.
Staff were not very chatty, but efficient so no fault.
There is no secure luggage storage if arriving before check in. However you are free to leave bags without valuables in designated area.
Older style hotel in central location. Friendly helpful staff. Basic but clean room.

An old hotel and it showed not very clean at all.
Paid for a cooked breakfast and couldn’t eat most of it as it was tasteless and greasy.
Defo NOT staying here again
Was told that the lift was broken when arrived, i was put on 2nd floor even though i said i had disabilities. No offer to take bags up or any alternative.
Reception was excellent and helpful 24 dinning room staff on the ball no delays between courses bar prices were reasonable for area bedroom was well for amenities and free wi fi car park was really good just £6 a night and discounted for day time ie arrive sunday leave tuesday was just £12 would well recommend it if in that area brilliant.
The stay was pleasant although there were concerns. Our room had "hidden step"between bathroom and bedroom, it should be highlighted with hi viz reflective tape. The food was nice,the staff were very helpful. The views are lovely, not happy with having to pay £6.00 per day for parking having paid to stay there anyway. We're registered disabled how ever the disabled sign was barely visible??? We would return though.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Really lovely stay. Loved the high ceiling in the bedroom and the fantastic view of Windermere even from the ground floor. Tea/coffee making facilities. Very helpful friendly staff, great location and so easy to use. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again. Could do with more pegs/shelves in bathroom.
Room on top floor. Lift was working.
Twin room, room was a bit tired and could do with redecoration. Facilities were fine, tea and coffee in the room.
Breakfast was good, traditional or other available. Dinner was in the annexed bar. Food included in my hotel price and was very good. Good selection.
Parking was available at a charge of 6 ounds per day.
