Family room
Was really disappointing the shower area was so tiny you couldn’t turn around if you did the shower curtain kept sticking to you and so much damp in this tiny area. You had to keep your arms in. The TV kept freezing and you could turn the Tv over with the remote control. The The breakfast was nice.

great location spotless and big rooms
Great room four poster bed and lake view. Great location close to all amenities. Only one little downside was choice at breakfast not great and although they did boiled eggs one morning for my wife the next morning they wouldn’t do them for me. However would come back and dog friendly which is a bonus for us. And dog got sausage at breakfast which is great.

Nice hotel close to the town centre and the lake
They allowed my husband and i to check in early as we were at a wedding, they advised us the room will not be ready but we could leave our bags which was awesome. Not sure all rooms are the same but it was a lovely view and could see part of lake windermere. Our room had a double 4 poster bed and a single bed. The only downside was the poster bed, it wasnt comfy and every time you moved it was squeaking. In the end i moved to single bed which was a little more comfy. The breakfast was yummy could of had a range of things too.
