“The hotel provides an intimate experience with its boutique charm and stunning views over Lake Windermere. I think the individually decorated rooms, some with lake views, really make the most of the location. It's a great base for exploring the area, plus I noticed it has good dog-friendly options, which is a big plus for those travelling with pets.”

Lovely hotel with amazing breakfast
good sizegreat locationhelpful staffgreat breakfast
The room was a good size, and everything I needed was present. The location was close to shops and the Lakes, a great convenience. Staff was friendly and helpful and they explained the facilities clearly. Breakfast had plenty of choice.
The bar closes at exactly 11pm. I am afraid I won't be returning so late.
