Beautiful quiet hotel
The food and drinks are amazing. The view is beautiful. The grounds are small but very beautiful with a pond that a lot of ducks live. The rooms are clean tidy and comfy. The reception has an open fire which smells amazing staff are very welcoming.

Reception staff great, evening restaurant staff very courteous and attentive, morning breakfast staff could do with an attitude reset - very abrasive and guests seemed to be an inconvenience, especially when disrupting whatever was holding their attention on their mobiles (the server with the bleach blonde hair in particular).
Room very comfortable.

Excellent
A fabulous place to stay whilst exploring the lakes. Lovely breakfast with glorious views. Leisure and gym small and needing a little bit of a refresh but a nice option to have. Views are stunning, food good and bar good but a little pricey, but given Windermere is about 20 minutes away and taxis are pricey, it seemed a sensible option to stay put. Overall a great place.
