"From the first welcome to the final farewell, it was a joy to stay there. Substantive breakfasts, pet friendly, old manor house setting with great views. Good choice of relatively local (less than 10 miles) public houses for evening fare. Already hoping to get back there when next visiting the Lakes, which start only six miles north."

"We had a great stay and the position of the hotel was great for us. you get what you pay for and i am not being critical but a bit of an update, renovate and decoration in some areas would help to improve the hotel, however this did not affect our stay in any way and the staff were great as was the restaurant."
"This is an older hotel in a gorgeous location right on Grasmere Lake. The interior has been modernized, which some traditionalists lament, but it is very comfortable. There is humorous, whimsical art throughout the facility. The large spa is a real plus. Breakfasts are ample and offer plenty of options. Large bathtubs in the rooms are very nice. Our shower stall often smelled musty, but this could be relieved by leaving the door open. A full length mirror in each room would be a good addition. If space is a concern, it could even be placed on the back of a closet door.
All in all, a beautiful place in a prime location. We would stay here again."
"Easy check in and staff helpful. Room clean and comfy bed, bit of mould around bath sealant but that was all. Tea and coffee and fan provided. Bonus pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Had evening meal in restaurant, friendly staff and great food. Plenty breakfast options. Parking available and no issues getting parked. For price and amenities - great value"
"Very helpful and attentive staff. Good parking close to lodge.
Lodge clean and tidy.
Swimming pool great but needed to include more child friendly sessions with the floats as only available after 4pm.
Tennis courts could do with the lines being freshened up and crazy golf a bit of a hazard for young children but this didn’t really detract too much from our stay.
Resturant was good and catered well for our 4 year old grandson who has food alergies.
Would certainly come back and recommend to friends and family."
"There was some work going on for the new spar but didn’t affect us staff really kind especially Kieran and Mathew definitely will return we had a superb room with a big bay window overlooking lake Windermere"
