Lovely stay would come back!
Second time coming here, we have thoroughly enjoyed it. Few points from first stay to this time; the hot tub you can tell are slightly older, we turned the jets on and one of the jets came out. Secondly while in the spa pool my partner caught her leg on a screw sticking out the light that cut it open. This does not detour me from coming back how how amazing our stay was as all the staff were friendly and helped with any issues and they can’t know about the problems unless someone tells them. My partner was just upset about her cut. We hired the bikes which were a really good addition to our stay, we ended up cycling round Windermere lake and they even gave us a route map for another route in case people didn’t know where to cycle. Would 100% still come back, lovely hotel with helpful staff serving some lovely yet simple food in the pub and some classy delicious dishes in the main restaurant.

If Premier Inn did hot-tubs
5 STAR PRICES, 3 STAR DELIVERY Room: cheap fixtures and fittings, gauche light fittings, lowest quality bathroom door and lock on the market, very weak shower. NOT 5 star Food: astoundingly bad. The on-site "pub" was not cheap and served 50% inedible food cooked from frozen - the chicken had freezer burns, packet mash, anaemic looking steak. I could expand, but Wetherspoons wouldn't serve this low quality, even at half the price. NOT 5 star. The breakfast: was Premier Inn format and quality, free-for-all buffet style. No offer to cook eggs to order, no proper coffee brought to you, definitely no options of eggs benedict or the like. Again, 5 star charges but 3 star delivery. Hot tub: great. Spa: lovely but showers were cold. Cheap and thin robes and towels. Staff: very good, seemed to genuinely care and took our feedback graciously. As a gesture they refunded the parking fees (inexplicably they charge you this if you don't book direct) as they couldn't do anything about the food charges.
