A beautiful way to visit Windermere
Pros:

The location is beautiful and the property itself is lovely - a nice combination of stately and intimate

Cons:

Bar prices were high and the capacity of the kitchen means you need to book in for breakfast or dinner earlier than you think. We didn’t, but the bar food for dinner was good enough.
