Perfect 100%

100% would stay here again, stunning hotel and surroundings. From the moment of arrival the room was ready early and we were able to check in straight away and was given free welcome drinks. Jodie who was on reception was very informative and told us all the information about the hotel and spa and took us to our room. The room was beautifully decorated and clean and the hot tub was perfect. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent the food flavours and how it was presented was fantastic.

We have just returned home after a two night stay in a standard room with hot-tub. It was fantastic. Lovely views and we had the sun on the balcony for most of the day, so that was a plus. The hotel was lovely and clean, as were the rooms. All of the staff were polite and helpful, probably the best staff I have met for a long time on my travels. The hotel location is perfect with only a 10 minute stroll to the lakeside. We will certainly be booking again in the future.

Lovely hotel with fabulous friendly staff in a great location. On arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite with hot tub which was a lovely surprise. Easy walk down the hill to Bowness-On-Windermere. Just a bit of feedback with the Room. Not enough plug sockets in lounge area. The safe was located at top of wardrobe and neither myself or my daughter could reach.
