A very enjoyable relaxing stay!
Pros:

Great food choices and amazing breakfast! Very helpful and friendly reception staff! Modern, spacious and clean throughout the hotel in a beautiful setting overlooking Lake Windermere. We had a fantastic time!

Cons:

We didn’t like the fact we only could go in the pool for a few hours in the morning when breakfast was on and a few in the evening. We feel that residents should have full access to the pool during the day.

Overnight stay visiting lakes
Pros:

Bed was good, room location was on ground floor facing marina great view. Booked evening meal which was really good also breakfast.

Cons:

Room could have been better, shower was ok but no screen or curtain which resulted in whole floor getting soaked also some floor tiles loose.

Turned into an expensive wasted day that could have been avoided with clear communication and resolved with professional
Pros:

good location

Cons:

Scheduled our day specifically around access to the outdoor pool. Then told at 2p it was only accessible at 5:30p.
At 5:30p, then told it was only available with a Spa package.
disengenious advertising and very poor communication from staff from front desk, spa and management.

Great hotel, too expensive from my perspective, the location is what you pay for I guess
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

we spent almost £300 for one night, to then be put in a room with no new and to be charged additional costs to use to car park and £25 to use the outdoor pool on the hottest day in years, seems a little tight

Pros:

*★★★★★ Low Wood Bay + Blue Smoke

Spent the day at Low Wood Bay and it was flawless. Room was spotless, views over Windermere were stunning, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. Spa and pool areas were perfect for unwinding.

Had dinner at Blue Smoke on the Bay and it stole the show. Food was next level - smoked meats were tender and packed with flavour, sides were fresh, and the whole menu felt really well thought out. Service was on point without being overbearing.

Between the location, the hotel, and that food at Blue Smoke, it’s an easy 5/5. Already planning to go back.

Cons:

nothing

Lovely location and nice hotel, but they aim to extract your cash at every opportunity
Pros:

Lovely spa with a good amount of space and not too crowded. Hotel generally was pleasantly decorated and lots of places to sit / have a drink. Food at the W was good, as was breakfast. Room was fine.

Cons:

Residents are second class citizens. You pay circa £400 for a standard room......yes the hotel is of a good standard and the location is fabulous, but you only get very limited access times to the spa, unless you pay extra. You also have to pay an outrageous £12 per day for parking.

Over priced for what it was
Pros:

Location and view were amazing. Reception staff were very pleasant as were the bar staff. Relaxing stay.

Cons:

Lack of attention at breakfast. Ordered tea with serving staff, none arrived, there were slippers missing for going to the spa, therefore we didn't venture over there. There were dirty trays outside our room which hadn't been cleared from room service and the cleaning staff were very keen for us to leave on the last day, with all their equipment blocking the exit route.
