Location
Guest Reviews
Definitely a very nice hotel with a great location by the lake. The room was relatively clean, although it clearly doesn’t feel like a 4-star hotel compared to hotels outside the UK. The breakfasts were decent and tasty, and they even offer a gluten-free menu.
There is also a spa and a swimming pool, which is another plus. You can also book different massage treatments.
Absolute chaos with the swimming pool schedule. When booking, you receive one timetable, but when visiting the pool, the administrator does not allow children in because he has a different schedule. Then the reception provides yet another timetable at check-in. Because of this, your plans for travelling around the lake get disrupted, and you end up having to wait until 10:30.

Very good
The mattress was a bit soft.
The room was wonderful, View amazing and chocolates and red wine a nice touch could not fault our stay one bit. Family with us also enjoyed the stay very much
no
Breakfast was lovely, staff excellent. Location perfect
Paying £25 per night for car park that is open enough for public wasn’t overly secure
Just needs a good painting and new carpet
The location is amazing. Perfect for the lake and Bowness.
It was clean and the staff were fantastic.
Views from the hotel bar and restaurant were fantastic.
It feels very dated. The decor could do with being upgraded and refreshed. The breakfast wasn’t a buffet, but instead table service for the hot food. The full English option is basically a small breakfast with 1 of each item. This could be our error for not paying attention to the description but assumed it would be a full buffet. There was a small continental buffet selection, but again limited.
Our room was tiny, but we did just pay for a standard room, but was tight and smaller than expected. The shower also leaked so wasn’t the best.
You also have to pay for parking, which is £25 a day. This was very expensive and in hindsight we would have been better going to the long stay car park, which is only a minute or 2 extra walk from the hotel one. After paying £150 for 1 night, I would have expected parking to be included, but it seems this is common across hotels in Bowness.
The location
Always wanted to stay here many years ago, the scenery very good overlooking the lake
Sadly did not live up to my expectations
Building very dated
Room was far to hot didn’t sleep, even with the window open, paid for an upgrade and the room was average to what I was expecting for an upgrade , breakfast was ok
Spa was terrible, pool was cold no jacuzzi
Anita who did my facial was amazing and the upstairs part of the spa was better, but very disappointing overall considering the price for staying
The location was the best thing
I really would not stay here again sadly
Stunning building and beautiful view
Nothing
Parking - one assumes parking is included however the hotels car park is actually off site and a little hidden.
Out of the 3x times I had to enter it, twice there was another guest having difficulty which instantly causes a traffic issue and having to reverse into a roundabout.
The car park feel like derelict land and signs of some abandoned cars left to rot and no clear lines to maximise safe parking.
Oh, and it’s £25 a day which is only mentioned a couple days before arrival - essentially it’s a tax on the room you don’t know about.
Nice little spa and the grounds are well kept and great in the sun
Room was very hot- even with the window open. We used the fan but still very warm. Turns out there was a mains heating pipe running through the back of the wardrobe (would be appreciated in winter)
Also £25 to park at the hotel is a bit ridiculous when your paying over £200 a night to stay there.
