Relegate to a 3 star

The building and location are fantastic. The furniture inside is tacky and dated. The beds are so uncomfortable and the outdoor seating area could be glorious. The lift needs manual intervention each time for it to descend - it’s 2025…time for an upgrade. No toiletries, not even slippers were provided. The buffet is equivalent to premier inn’s.

Lake view double

We stayed in a double lake view room and it was very spacious and comfortable with a very large double bed. The hotel itself is ideally located for exploring Bowness and south lakes. The staff were brilliant and the service was exceptional. My only negatives would be that charging paying customers £15per day for car parking seems a little excessive given that this is a private car park and not open to the public. We also added the rose petals to our booking to make it more of a special occasion, however on arrival these were missing. I contacted reception and they resolved this the following day, however there was just a handful of cheap plastic petals, not what I was expecting for this calibre of hotel.
