Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel is conveniently located but there was no parking due to on going works. The room is tired, the tv at a peculiar angle to the bed so difficult to watch. The remote control for the tv didn’t match the tv. The room was right at the top of the building after some difficult and steep stairs.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was very small but adequate for our 2 night stay. The shower tray kept filling up with water which was very annoying. The room wasn't cleaned for our 2nd night so had to use wet towels.See older reviews ,shower issue has been ongoing. Would stay again but ask for a different room. Location and parking was great.
The friendly owners met us on arrival and recommended restaurants.
The property is conveniently located.

The window rattled in the room and therefore it had to be propped out which meant it was cold. There were no cups in the room and I had to hunt for the remote control in another room. The television is at a strange angle so it’s difficult to watch. There was a room available opposite which would have been more comfortable yet we were out in this one.
A really nice property, freat location central to everything, hosts extremely friendly and helpful
Room 8 has a great view to look out
Overall good value for money ,We will return to stay
As soon as I arrived in the hotel car park, one of the hosts came out to ask why I was parking there (my guess is they have a lot of people trying to park who don’t stay there), he then took my name, told me to move my car because they were fully booked for the night. I moved as per his request, he then said reverse more to which I said how do you expect me to get my things out the boot. It was all a bit much especially when there was plenty of space for others to get in (When I got back from the town and left the same cars were parked there so not sure why he made a fuss, if they don’t want people to park in certain parts of the car park put a sign there).
His whole approach was not very welcoming. Once I finally got inside his wife seemed nice, she explained where my room is, what to do, etc. but felt the start of the experience was ruined by her interrogating husband. I made my way up to room 9 and the smell was horrible. The window was left open which had let several bugs and moths in. The room was so small the only standing space was taken up by my suitcase.
I went out to grab food to watch the sunset which didn’t happen, the sunset was blocked by a hill in the lake. Went to three pubs that stopped serving food at approximately 20:00, I did find one eventually.
The bed was uncomfortable and was kept up by the noise of cars and people walking past. It was also very cold but they had provided a heater. The bathroom was tiny and had hair in the shower and a dead bug on the
They sold me room 3 which was advertised as a room with a king size bed, with a bay window, sofa etc. just a generally nice looking room. The guy who checked us took payment for the room and gave us our keys. When we got to our room it was a small double bed, the room was small, dated, ripped bath towels, ripped wallpaper. When I asked to be put in the correct room I was told it was unavailable and his son lives in that room. Apparently it was Expedia’s fault and not there’s even though I tried to say I booked through hotels.com
He said he’d refund me but only on his terms of waiting 5 hours for his wife to come home. It escalated in me calling the police and he was gesturing an offensive sign to me. Lots of videos to follow of the room and the owner so show how disgusting this place is. Don’t ever stay here it’s awful and scammers.
Parking was on site,walking distance into bowness and local amenities. Collection of keys straight forward. Accommodation was very clean and true to the discretion. Central very pleased with whole of visit. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends
This hotel was perfect. Walking distance to the centre of Windermere with lots of bars and cafes. Additionally great bus links although we chose to drive which was equally convenient as there was onsite parking. You can take boat trip a 15/20 min walk away. Shower is basic but the hotel room was stunning and a really comfy bed with smart tv. Overall extremely happy and would stay again :)
basicly to not bore you
keys for front door and room stuffed in an unlocked safe box with combination.
no dreakfast though says on dite it is available
no running hot water in sink to was hands after using loo
no plug for bath tub was told we cant use baths .
park close to road as if you park further in you wont get out in morning without waking up rooms to move car .
only booked hotel in first place because it had a bath and was close to town.
