This was our 4th stay at Bowes Incline since 2012. The staff are so friendly and can’t do enough to help you. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is good with a varied selection. The restaurant meals are great too and very good value! Look forward to staying here again in the future!

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
First and foremost the property was clean, functional and offered value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful, although our experience of room service was let down by dirty cups being left. We found the hotel lacked character, everything about it was functional and not interesting. This extended to the breakfast, our experience of which was behind not eating supper there. This is not a criticism of the hotel, it is my view. Based on reviews I expected a little more than we got. Having said this if you want somewhere to sleep for a night it two it’s fine.
