Wonderful room and staff were very friendly, my one and only very small issue if I could even call it one would be to install an area for people to sit outside even in the rain. Would of been nice to have enjoyed a cigar after dinner but rained none stop 😆 Beautiful hotel and staff couldn’t do enough, would definitely visit again and recommend.

I booked two nights for my girlfriend birthday and we had a lovely time, she had been to Windermere before but her stay made this time her best, the spa had everything we needed and the conservatory area faccina the lake was mesmerising. It also came with breakfast included which provided top quality ingredients, the room was as described and allowed us to rest peacefully. I would really go back again !

Lovely Lakeside stay
Despite some of the negative reviews, we found this hotel perfectly acceptable. Room was clean and comfy, hotel itself was well kept. We had dinner in the brasserie one evening, we couldn't fault it. Tasty and freshly cooked. The spa was good, the area was clean and tidy. It could do with a freshen up, pool side, but that's a minor issue. We really appreciated the little touch of a birthday card and bar of chocolate, which was left in the room, as it was my partner's birthday during our stay. We both said we wouldn't hesitate to return, albeit out of season, to really enjoy the hotel in a quieter way. Don't be put off by negative reviews, go and see for yourself!

Really good stay at the lakeside. Pool and spa facilities are excellent and dinner in the main restaurant was brilliant. very talented Chef. The cooked breakfast served was consistently great each day. Convenient locations with lovely walks of High Dam and gorgeous view from our room. We stayed for 4 nights. Only thing that could be improved is that the pool/ spa facilities should be open longer as they are closed at 7pm so there is not much to do in the dark evenings. Some of the staff there seemed quite inexperienced and overwhelmed at times.

Lovely property setting with beautiful lake views but the property itself is in need of an upgrade and revamp. Staff were welcoming and helpful , however It was obvious that staffing at times was limited and therefore the service in some areas not as efficient as it could be. Good food and comfortable room.

we booked this hotel for a wedding anniversary as we have returned for many years. We tried to book the restaurant on arrival and were told it was full. The breakfast service was appalling slow with limited choice. When we came to check out we were told they no longer accept American Express our choice of payment at the hotel and can only be used on line. Sadly after 30 years we wont be returning.

Didn’t like the fact that dogs are allowed to stay in a 4* hotel especially when they’re wet the smell was awful. If I had known this I would not have booked it. Also not happy that the hotel tried to charge me again for evening dinner when I had already paid ! The staff could be a bit more cheery.
