Very nice hotel and breakfast. All staff very friendly. Only thing is we had to pay a charge for parking (£12) as we booked with Tesco Club card, charge service charge for drinks and they added a £1 donation for plant a tree. It would be nice if you were asked if you wanted to contribute before adding it to your bill.

Absolutely lovely hotel. Great rooms and bar/ restaurant area. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The fact that there was a beautiful woodland walk from the hotel was a bonus. Will definitely be returning.

Very nice but staff…
Very nice hotel although aspects are due for update. Comfortable rooms and dining space. Excellent breakfast choice and quality. Staff are very distant however - no smiles, no pleasantries and they generally don’t seem to like to be bothered. All staff appear like this.

Anniversary weekend away
Hotel room was really nice and spacious. Friendly staff and helpful. Large carpark for your stay but no electrical ports for electric vehicles so not that eco friendly. On check out after a 2 night stay had to pay £12 parking fee even though there’s no alternative as your in the middle of the countryside so seems rather cheeky, also £1 to plant a tree, I didn’t plant a tree and then £12 service charge, this on top of the hotel cost and the parking fees. Restaurant food was very nice but not alit of choice so went into Windermere in our second night,

Amazing food.
The Food was amazing! Staff were excellent and the kitchen adjusted meals for my husband who can't eat dairy. They even created him a special dessert. The room was large and comfortable.

Great Stay with our dog
We had another wonderful overnight stay here and brought our dog this time. He was welcomed and there was even a dog goody bag in the room! All staff members were very polite and we were made to feel welcome.

Lovely hôtel - perfect for Lake Windermere. Facilities in the hotel are great: there are even wellingtons you can borrow to do a woodland walk. The restaurant is fantastic with high quality food. The lounge and reception area have wonderful open fires which make it feel really cosy. Our feature room was fantastic and roomy.

Alright, not very clean.
An OK place to stay for a night. Bed comfy enough, good blackout curtains, quiet location although noise from other rooms travelled easily. Unfortunately the bathroom wasn't very clean - hairs and black mould in the bath and dead bugs squished into the blind. There was also a dried bogey stuck to the bedside table. Mentioned at reception on checkout so hopefully will be improved for future guests. Breakfast was fine.

Comfy, cosy and great food
Great stay, high quality food, comfy beds. Parking is additional cost £12 as is a dog staying £30, both we thought was high. We dined in the bar area, food was brilliant but think the lighting could be dimmed in the evening to create more ambiance.

The stand-out features were definitely the level of service and quality of food. The breakfasts were delicious - the best of any hotel we've stayed in. The experience was let down slightly by the accommodation, which wasn't by any means a five-star room. There were signs of mould around the windows, the bathroom hadn't been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival, and the general decor was faded and worn. This was a real shame, since the main guest areas of the hotel were immaculately presented.
