Great hotel. Not 5 star but could easily be.

Our stay was fantastic and we were made very welcome and cared for. I would absolutley recommend this hotel and its restaurant! But I would make those I recommend to aware of the following. A few observations: Lots of reviews agreeing the hotel could be 5 star but is not due to a few items. No body lotion in room, No ev charging capability, Balcony glass dirty, cleaners did not attempt to clean it, No coffee choice/ machine at breakfast, quality of coffee was poor, Poor quality tea in rooms (pg ‘tips). Other hotels with fewer starts collaborate with local tea companies. Walk through car park then pub to access spa is not 5 star. Charging those who book indirectly for parking is not a great experience and leaves a bad taste in check out.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall the staff here were great and the room I stayed in was clean and well maintained. I liked that fact that I was shown around and I also enjoyed the breakfast. The only slightly negative remark I would have is that I could hear the people next door but it wasn't too bad as they weren't too noisy or anything. I also found my shower head wasn't really giving consistent pressure, again nothing that would take the shine off my stay but its these two reasons made me take off a star. Otherwise though I did think the staff and the facilities were very good and it is very close to windermere and some great walks.
