Really lovely stay. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean and well kept, with a modern bathroom. The spa was excellent, and it was especially nice to relax in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Breakfast had a great range of options, including a hot breakfast and continental selection, and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again. The only slight downside was the £10 parking charge, although I appreciate parking in the area is limited.

Stunning location, excellent breakfast but room 26 very disappointing. I guess we got the worst room in the hotel. (next to scaffolding hotel renovation) Breakfast staff very professional and made our stay worthwhile.

Great staff, great location and gardens. Stains on carpets in several areas, breakfast buffet disappointing, decor needs freshening up. Parking charge of £10 per night surprising and disappointing.

Amazing all round. Big bedroom with great views, amazing food in the restaurant, kind and helpful staff, and the spa was incredible after a day of browsing the local towns and some walks around the lakes. Perfect central location too as a base for our trip, with easy access south to Ambleside and Windermere or north to Keswick and across towards buttermere. A luxurious stay that made our trip complete.

Great location. Excellent, peaceful escape. All the staff were outstanding. Restaurant quality very good. Only downside was that the rooms were showing their age and needed a freshen up. In spite of this, we’d stay again because all other popsicles were so strong.

Value for money…. The rooms are not the cheapest, but they are worth the money. From start to finish the say was perfect. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to welcome you. We wished we had stayed another night and will definitely come back. The food and selection for breakfast was great and they accommodated our miniature poodle throughout our stay with a special welcome basket on arrival. All in all a wonderful getaway, thank you.

The overall stay was excellent. Food lovely & staff friendly. Rooms etc were spotless. The only issue was no lift. It was a struggle for my father in law to get up 2 flights of stairs. However, this didn’t deflect from having an enjoyable stay. Thank you.
