Stayed at this hotel Oct 2009 and loved every minute. The room was amazing, bathroom to die for, the bed was huge - excellent. The cooked breakfast was awesome especially for a veggie, there was so much to choose from. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend. more

My boyfriend & I had been searching online for a hotel around Windermere but all we could find were expensive places with disappointing guest reviews.

Unfortunately due to illness we had to re-arrange our booking the day before we were about to check in so we rang the hotel to amend the booking. The... more

Wide and I stayed 3 nights in a luxury lake view room. Room was fine with comfortable bed and modern bathroom and the view was great. The location is a real plus but yes there's a road - the traffic is pretty much non-existent at night but starts up around 7:30 in the morning - it didn't bother us much... more
