My husband and I have just returned from 21 The Lakes. We stayed in the Grassmere Suite, which is probably the best room to stay in considering what I have now read. Totally mislead on the "boutique" sales pitch. Had we have known, we would have stayed somewhere else. When we arrived our room was not ready, so we left... more

Left booking to the last minute, so seems we were left with the poor accomodation. Went ahead and booked the Boutique hotel???? We arrived at 7.45pm to be told that we were too late to dine that evening even though we had pre booked and paid for it!!! Further to our dismay we were told that we wouldnt recieve a... more

Went for a weekend break for a birthday suprise, first suprise the weather was warm and sunny, always a bonus but even this caused some issues. On checking in, the room was not ready, not an issue, complimentary coffee provided in conservatory while room was finished but if you have stated a time to be able to check in from... more

We found a very competitive last minute rate of 70 pounds per night and opted to break our journey north to Scotland and stay a night in the Lake District. We had the 4 poster room opposite Reception and next door to the breakfast room. The room was spacious and cutely decorated,; the bed was very comfortable and the spa... more

Yes the rooms are individually decorated and furnished but this is not my definition of boutique. It is a bit tired, the decor is aged, and the bed squeaked at every turn due to old age. On the other hand, it was convenient to walk to both Bowness and Windermere, lovely and quiet on an evening, clean, and the staff... more

I booked the Grasmere Suite in this hotel for three nights after viewing it on the hotel web site. I should have trusted the unease I felt when the hotel insisted on full payment at the time of booking (some three months before the actual trip). The suite was extremely tired looking and when we arrived, the bathroom had just... more

We took a gamble and booked this place for two nights for our mini-honeymoon. It was recommended to me by someone on another forum but when I read the TA reviews I got very nervous. As I'd already paid a non-refundable deposit we decided we'd make the best of it. We stayed in Premier Room 8. When I called to... more

We do not advertise or assure customers that any of the outdoor hot tub areas as being private. We only advertise & advise that they are for your...
