Wonderful weekend with the Girls

Perfect place to switch off. The food was excellent, not a huge menu to choose from but there was something for everyone. Prices seemed high at first glance, but I can assure you that you definitely get what you pay for. really good. The homemade sourdough bread!!!! amazing, would return just for that. (honestly it is something else) The staff really make this place wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. The room was really nice, really clean and comfortable. The SPA, this was really wonderful, the treatments were exceptional, and the facilities were amazing. Location was great, we walked into Ambleside on the opposite side of the lake and caught the bus back (559) to the hotel after some shopping and a shandy.

Spa break weekend

The location and staff were amazing as was the unlimited breakfast!!! Dinner options were a tad pricey and limited choices with no bar snacks etc. The room was very clean but the mattress was showing its age with springs being felt coming through. The Spa is nice but again showing its age with tiles missing in the pool and obvious repairs here and there. The jets also were on a timer which needed constant restarting. We did notice a medical plaster left on the side of the pool for over 36 hours so not sure on the cleanliness of this area. The cushions of the loungers were also very soft/dated and needed replacing really. Overall very nice but search various sites for prices as we found varying levels with some over £100 more per night.

Simply “a must” place to stop

Loved the hotel and facilities. The Room had a wonderful view of the lake and was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The restaurant was wonderful and the food fantastic. The biggest and best part of our stay were the staff. Friendly, attentive, and helpful. A huge plus for the hotel.
