Cosy room with a lake view and brand new ensuite. Walk in shower. Loved the huge bath towels! Staff were very friendly with some helpful tips on parking. Very close to everything Bowness has to offer. If I could make one suggestion, it would have been great to have a small fridge in the room. Overall it was a fantastic stay. Would stay here again.

We stayed for one night with two dogs. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a lovely bar area! The hotel was in a great location and our room was clean. The decor in the hotel was slightly dated, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the night.

Great stay overall! The room was spacious and the amenities were very good. The only downside was the poor ventilation in the bathroom, which caused an unpleasant smell. Other than that, everything was excellent.
