From the minute we pulled up to the hotel we knew we’d picked the right one out of the abundance in Windermere and the best bit, it was cheeper. The staff couldn’t do enough to help and make your stay easier, even after checkout. The hotel was modern and subtle and perfectly presented and the views, while relaxing in one of the several lounge areas inside and out, were outstanding. The breakfast !! Unreal. We will be staying again and I recommend you do too.

The hotel was above my expectations. We felt welcome, looked after and everything was just tip top. We had an Occasion room with lake view. The room was spacious and felt newly refurbished. The bed was comfortable, big and linen luxurious. Smart TV was a bonus. Breakfast was very tasty. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We used sauna and pool. Excellent stay!

Well situated property with easy access to the lakes and local attractions. Easy to get to from the M6z beautiful views of the lakes from the lounge and the restaurant. Good choice of breakfast. Plenty of onsite parking. Staff was friendly and helpful. Decent room well kept and clean. Shower and toilet facilities were good. There is a pool also but I didn’t get the opportunity to use it. Highlight of this property is the lounge with large windows giving a full view of the Lake District and the lakes while you sit and relax sipping on a cup of tea and taking in the breathtaking view of Lake Windermere and the greenery around.
