It offered a sensational full cooked breakfast with several options. The location was stunning, not too far from Lake Windermere. Great restaurant a few steps away from the hotel.

Dedicated staff, superb bar. The units are overly warm, very specious. Smooth check in and in general first-class service. A LOVELY experience in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere.

It was a fairly nice stay, famous place. We loved the glorious location, and the pleasant enough staff. Pool with the lake view was very clean. Furthermore, parking nearby was a bonus.

Hotel was overall clean and staff was pretty friendly. I loved a luxurious decor and tasteful furniture. Top location, not far from the lake and me, however the area itself was very expensive. The lounge bar was fab and the drinks where complimentary...
Breakfast, it was disappointing, could be far better.
