We will return
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, perfect location with easy walking distance down to the lake. Staff made us very welcome and we were able to check in earlier when we arrived at 1.40pm.
Our room was clean, spacious and very comfortable with great views overlooking the lake and gardens.
Breakfast was absolutely delicious with a wide selection of choice and we didn't feel rushed to vacate the restaurant. We even had a key to allow ourselves in through the back door entrance if we were late back.

Cons:

We stayed at Craig Manor 5 years ago which again was very nice prior to it's refurb, however 5 years ago we were able to book in for an evening meal which has now stopped, we were a little disappointed with this even though we weren't stuck for places to eat in Bowness.
