Had a great stay. Staff welcomed us on arrival and assisted us with bags from the car even in the rain without any request. All staff were really helpful and lent us umbrellas due to wet weather. Room was lovely and spacious and was clean. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was plentiful with good choice and very tasty. The hotel is doing some renovations but it had no effect on our stay. Would definitely look to stay again

Nice room with great views, Breakfast was terrible cold and inedible. The most expensive hotel on our 11 day trip and the worst breakfast, didn't even both on our 2nd day. This needs a serious review. Staff were great location brilliant room nice, don't waste time or money on breakfast.

Fabulous few days here. We stayed in a four poster suite with lake view and it was perfect. The room was spacious with a seating area to view the lake and all the activity on it. The bathroom was great, with the choice of a standing free bath and a modern shower with excellent rain water experience. The bed was extra large and so comfortable with soft pillows and duvet. Plenty of tea, coffee and Kendal mint cake to enjoy a cuppa in the room. The bar and restaurant were excellent. Happy with the choices for the breakfast buffet. We ate in the restaurant each evening and was really happy with the quality and presentation of the food - thanks for good chefs! For a light meal, we recommend the halloumi chips and the bbq sticky chicken. All the hardworking staff we met from cleaners, bar, waiting, reception were very friendly and made you feel welcome. All were great ambassadors for the hotel! Would recommend to anyone; and we will return ourselves!

Gorgeous, grand hotel in a fantastic location. Service great from all staff and hotel clean throughout. Family rooms a great size and ideal for a family of 4. Hotel is currently undergoing a period of renovation and you can see this is needed in places but this is to be expected for a grand and historic hotel.

Couldn't fault our stay. Staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient. Room was very clean. Breakfast, included, had a large selection of hot and cold items and being self service was quick. Evening meal was excellent and about the same price as trekking into Bowness on a cold wet evening.

The interior design of this hotel was impeccable, with beautiful fluffy chairs and bar stools! The staff were friendly too. The breakfast was high quality, fresh and plentiful. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, but a Cosy Garden Room was indeed quite cosy. However, the scaffolding in place and unkempt work site spoilt the beautiful view from the dining room. Expedia said there’s an on site gym, but it’s been flooded and out of use for some time. Personally I reluctantly report that I found this to be overpriced for what was on offer.
