It's in a perfect location right in the village. The lobby was nice and staff were friendly. The rooms are ok but could definitely use some upgrades. Mattresses were old, there were nearly no plugs, and we had two beetles in the room. Also, you have to pay for parking which feels like a bit of a scam.

Really lovely stay. Loved the high ceiling in the bedroom and the fantastic view of Windermere even from the ground floor. Tea/coffee making facilities. Very helpful friendly staff, great location and so easy to use. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again. Could do with more pegs/shelves in bathroom.

Nice location, large showers, and bed was comfortable. But the light switch next to the bedside didnt work, and there were screws coming out. Towel radiator didnt work to dry my towels. Staff weren't welcoming, and poor communication between hotel and restaurant, because they didn't know I had booked.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property is very dated. Needs a lot of decorating and upkeep. Rooms are very warm with limited options to open the window. Check in only starts at 3pm, even if your room might be ready, so long queue. Check out is 10am, so very early. No where secure to leave luggage, you leave it in a seating area used by the public. Certain staff could do with some customer service training and smile and be more friendly. Have to pay for parking at £6 a day, even if you stay at the hotel. Very close to the station and supermarket. Down the road from some local.pubs and nice eateries.

All staff very welcoming and informative, nothing too much trouble, dining room/breakfast was first class, pity the same can't be made for the bathroom whitch is very small,and was let down by bodged repairs, the towel rail had an external wire coming from the thermostat to the socket and was taped up with black tape, not very reassuring, in the brochure it states two minutes from the lakes, a bit optimistic took me nearly four in a car.

I’ve stayed in places far more expensive that were a lot worse. It’s by all means not the best place in the Lakes but the price you pay reflects what you get👍
