Great location lovely hotel
Pros:

Great location, hotel & staff were lovely, booked this due to having own allocated car parking space we didn't use our car once there as it was so easy to use buses to get where we wanted to go. Another great touch was each afternoon you could have complimentary cream tea, breakfast was really good too.

Cons:

Nothing

Beware. The 'facilites' such as pool and gym are offsite. "5 mins walk" That would be good in the he
Cons:

I could make a better breakfast
When checking in, we were asked at what time did we want breakfast next day. We said 08:30.
One has to fill in a firm with next day choices. We wanted a lie in and said 09;30. They said, oh no - you have selected 08:30 for all three days. Stupidity

Pros:

Lovely surroundings, friendly staff and clean Breakfast was lovely and great that you had access to scones and things throughout day

Cons:

No information about the bar and what drinks you could buy- insure of process so we t elsewhere for drinks. Would be great if evening meals were a possibility too. Would have been good to have a shower but the rolltop bath was nice.

A lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful location.
Pros:

An excellent location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Over all a great place to stay when visiting the Lake District.

Cons:

Only one thing that wasn’t perfect for us. We could have done with an alternative to a very thick duvet when the weather was mild. We didn’t enquire if we could have something else so probably our fault.

Pros:

The location was excellent. Less crowded than Ambleside. A lovely lake walk into Ambleside. The rooms were well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast and afternoon scones were delicious.
The grounds were lovely. The glasshouse, the front garden and little areas overlooking the little river.

Beste Lage mit kleinen Mängeln
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt im Ort und trotzdem total ruhig gelegen. Man kann im Garten sitzen oder am Fluss.
Großes und schönes Zimmer (106).
Sehr gutes Frühstück, toller Frühstücksraum und Wintergarten.
Besonders toll finde ich, dass tagsüber kostenlos Kaffee und Scones zur Verfügung stehen.
Nettes Personal.

Cons:

Man hört leider die Gespräche der Zimmernachbarn und in aller Frühe kommen Lkws mit Lieferungen.
Das Gebläse im Bad läuft ziemlich laut und immer wenn man das Licht anmacht. Auch das hört man von den Nachbarn. Da würde ich mir ein Nachtlicht wünschen, für nächtliche Toilettengänge.
Im Bad gibt es außer der Heizung keine Möglichkeit ein Handtuch aufzuhängen. Ein kleiner Haken am Waschbecken würde da schon reichen.
Die Wanne/Dusche hatte einen verstopften Abfluss, den man mit Chlor zu reinigen versucht hat. Uns wurde gesagt, das ist nicht verstopft, es läuft nur langsam ab, weil der Abfluss nicht senkrecht, sondern waagerecht läuft. Man stand also beim Duschen irgendwann bis zu den Knöcheln im Wasser.
Es gibt nur einen einzigen Kaffeeautomaten für alle Gäste, der noch dazu sehr langsam ist. Also immer Schlange stehen für den Morgenkaffee.
