The hotel itself is clean and tidy, as are the grounds. The rooms are also clean and pleasant. We did not have breakfast as we wanted to explore Windermere itself. However we did see the dining area and food there and it looked very nice. Parking provided was easy and accessible. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Perfect location right by the train station and bus stops as we didn’t have a car. Lovely walk right next door which I highly recommend. Hotel is old and a bit worn out but very clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed our stay in a lovely part of the country.
Great value, a short walk to the town, and about a 20 minute walk to the lake. The room was comfortable , the staff were very polite and helpful, and no issue parking, th3 shower was amazing.
