The hotel is located in a lovely area within a short walk to Windermere's high street, offering comfy rooms with a bonus afternoon tea at no extra cost. The service provided, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, was exceptional. However, the dining experience, while varied, could have been more flavorsome. The location is quiet and convenient, close to the town center with nearby dining options. The hotel boasts facilities like a pool and home-cooked cakes, enhancing the overall stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were modern with a very nice ensuite bathroom complete with towel warmers and a great view. Plus, they even threw in a bonus afternoon tea at no extra cost. The service was top-notch with excellent housekeeping and a lovely welcome drink. The location was perfect, tucked away in a peaceful area but still just a short walk from the main village center. The dining experience was delightful with generous portions and delicious home-made cakes. Overall, a fantastic value for money!
