Came here for weekend, had enjoyable 2 days overall. There was variety of excellent options for continental breakfast. The location was central, so close to Windermere and Brockhole and Lake Windermere. I thoroughly enjoyed to be in this place.

Our room was updated and relaxing with 2 extra beds forced in. This hotel was located in a central area just off Ambleside and nice gardens.

Unbeatable location; hearty breakfast and good bed. The units are immaculate, convenient. Location right by Windermere, the beautiful Lake Windermere and the beer garden.

Staff were happy to help, all best. The location was prime, just a short walk away from white cross bay. The food in the restaurant was incredible and the restaurant was particularly good: )
Unfortunately Wi-Fi was very poor, and the bed was very small.

Loved this place, it was atmospheric. The staff here was cheery - accommodating service & great communication. The breakfast was hot, with lots of different options. Central location, not too far from Treetop Trek. Really lovely stay in the very industrial area.

Super location, very specious room, and enthusiastic staff. Perfect breakfast, impeccable service. The beds were not so comfortable here, yet it was an absolutely amazing stay all in all. Hotel was ideally located for celebrating birthday.
Wi-Fi was very poor, made me a little nervous.

The hotel had excellent food and rooms. Bar staff had a real "can do" approach. Moreover, there is a parking onsite.

Recommend this place to everyone. Friendly staff & quiet location. Easy walk to blue smoke on the bay, where you can have lunch. We booked a superior room and appreciated it.

Honestly nothing too much trouble. Staff was helpful and food was amazing. Greatly enjoyed that we had a heating system and a work desk in the double room.
It's on a noisy street.

hardly a 10-minute walk from wray castle, which was suitable for us. sailingdinnercruises, where you can eat, is an easy walk to the hotel. located within a walk to windermere, which is about 600 metres away.
