Pros:

There seemed to be some construction work going on (which we weren't advised of in advance) and the reception was moved and it felt like you had to go down a maze of corridors to find it.
The double bed was just two singles connected together. Not what I would expect.
Upon arrival we were asked what time we wanted breakfast and we said 8.30-9am, we're were abruptly asked 'we'll, which is it? 8.30 or 9am'. We decided on 9am. The next morning we went for breakfast at 9am and it took 15-20mins for someone to take our order (after I had to ask). Our breakfast arrived at 9.45am. Really not the service I was expecting.

Happy Family Stay.
Pros:

I was quite surprised how beautiful the place was, our room was very spacious and comfortable. I was very happy with the two 50 inch TV. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The kids were very happy with our time there.

Pros:

We stayed in a very spacious family room on the top floor which was great , it was lovely & clean with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly. The pool was great for the teenagers and a nice little spa area.
The hotel does look old fashioned and needs a revamp but with that said I can see some areas have been updated and overall it doesn’t effect having a good stay here!

Pros:

Me and my husband arrived for our honey moon. Nothing was too much bother for the staff who were very helpful. The hotel was clean and tidy perhaps a little bit dated as in carpets and decor. The parking facilities were good, plenty of free available bays. The gardens and views from our room were fantastic. We made us of the tennis court which was again free. Lots of choice for breakfast although small portion that is made to order. Small (sh) menu for evening meal which was laced in salt on first two evenings however we discussed this with the staff and asked for no salt on our meals which was quickly rectified. We were residents within the hotel and felt like we were rugby tackled as in you havent booked a table with us have you on two evenings, yet there were quite a lot of empty tables, however quickly rectified. Beds comfortable. Last two days of our stay we were upgraded from four poster room to a downstairs suite with a lounge area and fridge etc which we thought was a nice gesture. Tourist places nearby easy to get to via car, and a bus stop literally outside the hotel so you can travel around sight seeing. Wildlife park down the road which was well worth a visit, again literally a 15 min walk, which we enjoyed and got to feed the animals, we did the Beatrix potter half day tour which entailed a bus and boat trip from Windermere which was good. Great place to relax, unwind with peace and tranquility so me and my husband would definitely recommend this hotel 😃

Honey moon
Pros:

The rooms we stayed in were very clean, the staff were helpful and well staffed nothing was any bother for us. We made use of the tennis court which was also included and free! Lovely beer garden and the flower gardens were beautiful and well kept. View of the lake and hills from our room was wonderful. Parking was good with ample free parking bays. Good selection of breakfast choices ranging from continental and full English. The evening meal choices were not that good as menu was a bit small which had fish, pie, burger, steak, and sausage. Our first two evening meals of our visit were laced in salt however after ordering the steak on our third evening meal we kindly told the staff that we would prefer no salt, which the staff did for us and got to admit the meal was very tasty. Would highly recommend this hotel 😃

Pros:

Fantastic location, staff were exceptional - especially given they were dealing with a very large group booking. Free Spa / Pool area is good and great after a long walk in the fells. Some areas of the hotel need a little TLC for the 4* rating.

Lovely hotel with good leisure facilities.
Pros:

Booked a mid-week break to get away from it all.
Had room 104. Lovely suite, with sitting area. Bed was comfortable, but the room was very warm. No A/c, just a fan. Thank goodness we didn't stay during the July heatwave.
Food in the restaurant was very tasty, but I would call it a bar not a restaurant. Good choice for breakfast.
