Ich will mein Geld zurück!
Pros:

wir hatten Zimmer Nr. 2. Ausstattung im Zimmer ok, aber von der Zusammenstellung und geschmacklich richtig schlecht! 2 Gartenstühle, eine alte Couch, win Sideboard hinter der Couch. Bett war gut. Undichtigkeit an der Decke und erster Schimmel an der Wand! Das Bad war unzumutbar! Nicht sauber, rostige Anbauteile, schimmlige Silikondichtungen. Preis Leistung schlecht!

Cons:

Bad und Ausstattung, Schimmel

Traditional style hotel offering comfortable accommodation and good value
Pros:

This is a small, traditional style hotel in Windermere. It felt very personal and staff were welcoming and helpful. Very high standard of cleanliness. Small but lovely grounds and view of the Lake from the terrace. Small, warm swimming pool. Good choice of breakfast items and although hotel was full, it did not appear busy, and no wait for tables. Dinner menu changes nightly and whilst a relatively limited choice, it was good quality and good value for money.

Cons:

There is no lift to the second floor where our room was. On arrival it would have been helpful to be advised that there is however a lift as far as the first floor. Our room was very warm but fans were already in place.

Weekend Break
Pros:

Stayed for the weekend due to partaking in a running event in Windermere and thought this the ideal place to make base camp. Overall the hotel is very nice, great location, while slightly dated it's clean and all the staff are wonderful and very helpful. We also had the breakfast which was also perfection and exactly what was needed after a busy weekend, will definitely be staying again if we are up this way.

ENJOYABLE QUIET RETREAT
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is an old building, large, spacious; and the staff were lovely people. Our room was as expected; and we have no complaints about that. It is located in a quiet area, which is what we wanted. We had our evening meal there, and although the menu was of limited choice, it was a good meal with a reasonable price. Breakfast was really good, plenty of choice, and was all I wanted. It is buffet style which i do prefer, and although not on display, fried eggs are available on request, no issue.

Cons:

The bedroom floor was very creaky, but it is an old old building, and it did not bother us. It is what it is.
The location was further from Bowness than expected, 1.5 miles, not the 0.5 miles as quoted on the website; but there is a local bus that passes by if required.
