After reading the reviews before travelling we were a bit apprehensive..but upon arrival we were happy to be shown to a nice clean ( if somewhat basic) room..hotel reception was clean and staff friendly..breakfast is buffet style"all u can eat" with full english.cereals.fruit.juice and toast..and the pub attatched to the hotel is a nice sun trap..the £6 a nite car park charge seems a bit of a money maker..but parking anywhere else over nite in windermere costs a lot more..overall for what we paid (£260 for two nites with breeky) we cant complain and would return.

The staff are very helpful and polite. The room was lovely, with a spacious bathroom. Close to all transport links but also not too far to walk to the lake. Noticed a bike hire shop over by the train station too. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Excellent Lakes Stay

We booked a superior room which was excellent and had views of the lake. We were a ljttle apprehensive when booking after reading some reviews but we absolutely did nit need to worry. Excellent hotel and really good value for money. Tip pay the extra £10 per couple for breakfast as is very good for the money. We would definitely stay again. Well done.

Had a lovely stay

Had a lovely stay here, staff were polite, room was clean and bed was comfy. The location was great. We stayed for 3 nights but the room was not cleaned once. It was not a problem for us as we kept it clean but other people might not feel the same.

We stayed one night, my only negative was the shower not draining as it should and flooding the bathroom, I was in less than 5 minutes, just got out , and there was a member of staff knocking at the door because water was leaking downstairs. He gave us detailed instructions on how to use the shower and not to let the water past the trap which is ridiculous. They need to get this sorted as it must happen all the time. Nice big room and breakfast was nice and staff friendly, good value.
