Wonderful stay

abundant choicegreat ideaclean cabinmissing information
The breakfast buffet had abundant choices and looked great. The pool was a big bonus, and the hot tub felt nice. It's a great idea to allow swimming lessons access to the pool. The cabin was very cozy and very clean. Food in the restaurant tasted beautiful. Breakfast was also very good.
I noticed a lack of information provided and service wasn't great either. No one told us that if you stay in a cabin, the hotel only has one key, so if you lose it then everyone is in trouble. Due to the hotel only having one key a binbag of towels will be left at your door.
Location

The hotel provides access to several points of interest, including Windermere Lake Cruises at 4 miles and Grizedale Forest Go Ape at 5 miles. Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway is within walking distance, very exciting. Fell Foot Park is just 3 miles away.

The breakfast was excellent, with a good choice available and the full English option plentiful. I found the staff pleasant and accommodating. I enjoyed my room, it opened directly onto the beautiful gardens. I thought the food was great, particularly the delicious steak and guinness pie.
The stairs between the bedroom and bathroom were steep. This could be quite dangerous in the dark.

The swimming pool boasts a nice size, suitable for a relaxing swim after a day of exploring. The bar offers a cosy atmosphere, an appropriate option for those who may prefer a smaller, quieter space to unwind and have a drink.
