Pleasant stay overall
Pros:

Good value pre the holiday season kicking in. Pool was clean and quiet; children spent 3 hours in there playing. Sheets were clean, and the bedroom clean and tidy. Gardens were lovely & enjoyed the outdoor chess board. Lovely view from outside. Very good value bar snack at lunch time. Breakfast was better on day 2 of our stay; I felt the offering was generous and of reasonable quality. With a little attention to detail this hotel could be very nice. It is in a great location in terms of peace and quiet, with the option to drive to eateries etc in less than 5 minutes.

Cons:

Room was dark with no view, and wasn’t the one we had booked. Bathroom could do with an upgrade. The potential for this hotel is immense if some additional funding were provided. Not a massive fan of dogs being in hotel rooms and would prefer there to be reserved rooms for guests with animals only. Towels could do with a refresh in the rooms; pool towels were better. Perhaps some outdoor seating adjacent to the pool, but not sure how that would work with the fire doors…could be a good option. Bar drinks could be elevated with slices of lime/lemon etc/smarter glass for a gin & tonic, rum & coke etc. I would stay again with my children but during off-peak season.

Disappointing
Pros:

Breakfast was good. View from breakfast room was lovely

Cons:

On arrival the pool was closed, nothing on the site or an email to tell us the pool shut at 5, that was the reason we chose that hotel so we were very disappointed. Unable to open the window any further our room was like an oven.

Location was great and the hotel had more parking spaces than I expected. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was also great.

Short but hot.
Pros:

The location is absolutely amazing. The breakfast is fantastic and the staff went above and beyond when they could. And as always the swimming pool is just fantastic and the grounds themselves are really lovely.

Cons:

Booked with a 4 month old baby and my 3 year old.
Was put on the top floor and when arrived 4 fans were in the 2nd floor room which isn’t a good sign. If I had known we were going to be staying in a sauna up 3 flights of stairs I’d have amended the booking. Also found the bathroom itself was dirty.
Mainly disappointed about the room being so challenging to get to with children and luggage and we didn’t sleep due to the heat.

Excellent stay at Lake Windermere
Pros:

The location was excellent with a beautiful view over Lake Windermere. Close to shops/high street but far enough away to feel away from the hustle and bustle of a village. Easy to get to Ambleside and a good base to view other areas of Lake District like rowing at Bowness, Aira Force and Beatrix Potter's house. The breakfast was really good and the menu for dinner was varied and affordable prices.

Cons:

The mattress was uncomfortable. Hotel was overheated and even though it was cool (in June/July) would have been better at a more moderate temperature.
