The hotel is in a fantastic location within easy reach of all the amenities of Windermere. Although room clean and towels, bedding clean the whole hotel and all rooms could be renovated and corridors could do with a good hoover. No maid service during stay. Also lift out of order and this seems to been out of order for some time reading previous reviews. Orrest restaurant / bar that was advertised was closed. We did try an evening meal in the hotel but very disappointing none of us could eat main course tasted like a whole salt pot had been used so decided against breakfast as plenty of choices to eat in Windermere. Hotel did not charge us for main meal after we complained.Would not stay again.

The hotel itself is clean and tidy, as are the grounds. The rooms are also clean and pleasant. We did not have breakfast as we wanted to explore Windermere itself. However we did see the dining area and food there and it looked very nice. Parking provided was easy and accessible. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Breakfast lacked fresh fruit - just tinned pineapple slices. Location was good as it was easy to walk into the town. Ample parking but at an additional charge. Hotel is very plain in terms of decor.

Internet service was good, rooms were clean if a little dated, bar was not very well stocked, staff were friendly up until you wanted anything slightly out of the ordinary or had an issue, then they tried their best to ignore you or just tell you nothing could be done about it. In particular the parking, despite having to pay for 2 nights parking there was none available on the Saturday night and we were told to park in the layby down the road, but were still charged.
