Terrible! Do not stay! I booked a family room for my mum, and 5 year old son & nephew. The 'family' room backs onto the beer garden, why would they even contemplate the window looking out onto a noisy beer garden with children? Difficult to settle the boys and to sleep with the people right outside. There was mould in the room and around the windows. The shower was mouldy. All surface areas were sticky and unclean, the kettle was dirty, no teaspoons to make a drink, there was only 1 member of staff there at check in, which was one girl behind the bar, who was also busy serving drinks. Upon leaving, there were no staff anywhere, no one, anywhere. No one to give keys to, no manager, no one. Even the front door was still bolted shut. Noisy, dirty, bad customer service. If you have children.. avoid!!

The accommodation follows the inn's opening hours. The check in time is until 21:30 and if you visit later, they probably have their door closed. If you have already check in, you can still access through back door with keys. In the morning, they close their doors after complete all check out on the day. Which means, if you have any assistance required, you can only find them early morning or 16:00 - 21:30. You're not able to call them. I have dialed their number more than 10 times at different times but it's either the phone not working so no one pick up, or they're busy serving customers in the inn. If you see the staffs face to face, they're nice and helpful tho. I don't think the floor is clean enough. When I walk with my bare foot I can feel there's some part on the carpet is sticky.... There's only one rubbish bin in the room which is the one in bathroom. It's fine for us if we stay for a night but not sure is it ok to stay for a couple days. The good thing is that it locates near Windermere and has its own car park. And the cost isn't as expensive as other accommodation.

A one night stay…
Firstly, we had issues finding the property as we put the name in on Google maps and it’s incorrect. We ended up driving around for about 20 mins as the signal in the area is poor so we just had to try and wing it. There was a sign outside saying that there was no food available which was disappointing, so we had to travel elsewhere to get food. It’s quite a late check in time of 4pm and you need to check out by 10am, yet when we left at 10am all the internal doors were locked, as was the front door. It says reception is manned from 9am, which it isnt, and we tried to call the number on the front of the entrance to find out where best to leave the keys, but they didn’t answer. I dread to think what we would have done should there been an actual emergency. The room was clean, the bed was comfy and it had what you needed just for somewhere to sleep, but quite costly for the lack of anything else at the property. There was a sign to say “caution hot water” in the shower, but it never got hot, mainly warm. It was a good night sleep but everything else wasn’t too great!

Customer service was amazing and helped with the issues we had. The room was a bit messy when we checked in with a load of rubbish in one of the drawers. The showers were running freezing cold water for our last two nights. I was also charged double for this stay after paying at the front desk and then had the same payment taken out online a couple days later. I have spoken to Expedia Support and the hotel staff about issuing a refund for this and it has still not been resolved. I would like to have this resolved as soon as possible as this has put me into my overdraft. I will not be booking with Expedia again because of this.
