Lovely hotel. We got a great massage during our stay and the women who worked there were wonderful. That was definitely the highlight. The service in the restaurant and cocktail bar wasn’t great. Both times our food was slow and in the restaurant there seemed to be ample staff. In the cocktail bar our food took ages to come and when it arrived it was wrong. It seemed the staff were out of their depth that night. It also took a long time for one drink to arrive and at some point the waiter walked over to our table then just turned around and walked away. I think they were very stressed that night. But more training may help them. The suite was lovely and the hot tub was fantastic. Only thing that struck us as odd that a room in the lakes had nowhere to hang/dry coats after coming in from the rain.

Fantastic hotel, even better hotel staff.
A beautiful hotel in beautiful area of the world. Just a short walk into the centre of Bowness and all the bars, cafes, shops and restaurants. It’s a perfect location and venue for a few days away. However, the best thing about the whole experience were the staff at the hotel. Everyone from the lovely guy at the car park entrance to the reception staff and those working in the restaurant were so friendly, helpful and made a lovely hotel feel warm and welcoming.
