Exceptionally stunning
Pros:

Stunning views over the lake

Cons:

Couldn’t get in the hotel for evening food unfortunately as it was fully booked (which shows how gorgeous it must be) so had to travel out into Ambleside to eat - we still had an amazing evening with gorgeous food but would have preferred to eat on site with the view of the lake - hopefully we manage to get in next time

Magical views of the lake from the warm lap of luxury.
Pros:

Had a lake view from our room. The room had lovely high ceilings and a large refurbished bathroom.

Cons:

We didn't manage to get into Blue Smoke as it was fully booked. Our initial room was at the end of a long corridor going three quarters of the way around a courtyard! Fortunately the staff changed our room when we asked!

Nice place overall, would stay again
Pros:

Breakfast and location were great, staff were nice. Beautiful views from hotel and grounds.

Cons:

Minimal plugs in the room, hairdryer broken whilst using and shocked my arm.
Thermal journey added to our bill without us booking it.
Advised on check in parking was complimentary however, had to pay £36 for parking on check out.

Pros:

The area was fantastic

Cons:

A large wedding party was in and the carpets had not been vacuumed and the toilets not checked which was disappointing. Lovely hotel but the traffic on the main road kept you awake

Pros:

Wonderful facilities on site, exemplary staff and delicious staying in eating options. We made use of the gym and leisure facilities during our stay, gym is very well equipped for a small area. Took walks around the ground and ubered easily to and from the local areas for dinner out and visit to the crafty baa. Plenty of places to chill out and read a book outside your room.

Cons:

That we had to leave!

Pros:

Spa was amazing, and hotel grounds lovely. Staff were very nice.

Cons:

Room itself was average and not worth the money. Also annoyingly, you had to pay extra to use the infinity pool and the best bits of the spa (60 quid for 2 hours) which was misleading. Also wifi was terrible and would have to be refreshed every 10minutes and even then did not work properly.
