Convenient location for exploring the top town of Bowness. The area is gorgeous, but manically busy, even in early spring. Our freshly decorated standard double room was large with modern decor and immaculate bathroom. The view of the lake and town was stunning. Visiting in March we were lucky enough to find a parking spot in the small carpark, but I imagine this would be a problem in the summer months at peak season. Traffic on the road is constant so getting out of the car park was a trial each time. Breakfast was lovely with loads of choice. Issues: TV didn't work, staff over the phone prior to check in was abrupt when I asked about reserving a parking spot and paying for early check-in, neither of which were possible. The rest of the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable. Bed was comfy enough but the room was boiling hot and I couldn't really sleep because of this despite having the window open. Could have done with another pillow but wasn't worth asking as we only stayed one night. Communal areas such as main corridor to rooms and the breakfast room looked tired and in need of refurb, but the Victorian grandeur hasn't been lost and the veranda was lovely.

We got a great last minute deal. We had a standard room - basic but clean and comfortable. Great location too unless a small hill down to town would be a problem. We’ll definitely look out for more deals in the future.

A lovely listed hotel
I was nervous about staying here after staying at one of their other hotels and having a very unpleasent experience but this hotel was the complete opposite. All staff were very friendly, kind, helpful and efficient. The hotel is a listed building where it rains ALOT so the minor issues with a tiny bit of marking, paint peeling, creaky floorboards etc were indeed expected and added to the character of the place. The main thing was the cleanliness, it was absolutely spotless, the domestic team are first class and could teach the other hotel a thing or two. There was a lovely bar area where breakfast was also served, lots of choice for cooked breakfast and cereals although pastries and fruit options could do with an expansion. At the end of the day we got what we paid for, a basic price for a basic room, close to local amenities and transport links. It is a very old workers hotel and not for anyone expecting a 5* luxury spa style stay. £6 per night to park is a little unnecessary, especially with no concessions for disabled people who cant park further afield, but that is on the company not the hotel itself.
