The hotel was ok, and the upgrade was appreciated. The hotel itself is a little bit tired, in need of a renovation, but otherwise all food

Good location
The hotel room is very small. It is not very clean. It just offers the very very basic. Car parking is not free. However it is in good location - Windermere, in Lake District.

Not for light sleepers
Hotel is a little dated the room was warm and comfortable but wasnt decorated to well and was done to a poor/cheap standard. We took our dog and the room the put us in was on the ground floor near the stairs lift, so when people were coming in late at night waiting for the lift the dog was aleart which was keeping us awake. I asked reception the next morning if we could be moved but they advised they were fully booked even though i could see keys still hung up behind the desk where they issue them from. Hotel is in a great place and staff were pleasant and friendly but maybe need to put a door between downstairs rooms

Hotel is stunning outside, inside is a little dated but very comfy and accommodating. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t help enough.. the hotel is at the top of the bank in Windermere and around a 2 mile walk into Bowness-On-Windermere. I would definitely stay here again

Base for touring the Lakes on a motorcycle.
A good budget hotel for the price. Used it as a base to tour the Lakes on a motorcycle. Good breakfast and evening meal. Dedicated parking slots for motorcycles outside front door but did have to pay for parking £6 per day.

When booking the hotel it said it was in Bowness. After searching around for over an hour the hotel was in Windermere which we didn’t want. The hotel is extremely run down & smells. The staff at breakfast were lovely couldn’t fault them at all

Ok hotel
Good location for exploring Windermere and surrounding area. Booths supermarket just acrross the road and bus stop to get further The Lakes. Room clean but would benefit with a bit of renovation- creaking floorboards, wallpaper peeling off in some places. Good breakfast, self service, choice of cereal and English breakfast items. I would recomend improvement in service. The receptionist recited the greeting formula on my arival giving the impression he is not interested in and just done the job; simmilar the guy in breakast room- you sit, eat and go! Quick! As a guest I would prefer to feel looked after with a bit of a care..

Firstly the hotel location on your map is wrong , tne hotel is not on bowness, it's at Windermere which is not we're I wanted to stay , I always book hotels in bowness , so it took me a long tone to actually find it after driving around the location you are pin pointing, I was with my elderly parents who found it very difficult to leave the hotel as it was at the top of a hill and walking to the lake , which was 30 minutes, you stayed it is 8 minutes, was not an option so it did spoil our stay there , the bar was not always serving food only breakfast and the room were clean but very scuffy and in need of a paint job , I never normally complain about your hotels but this was by far the worst ive stayed in
