The hotel is a very good location, although parking is not ideal. It is a nice little hotel but definitely in need of some work and tlc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for luxury accommodation look elsewhere but if you just want somewhere to rest your head between long days at the lake, this is ideal.

One had a one night stay and it was ok for that , room clean , bathroom was lovely and spacious. Lovely view of the lake from the bedroom window
Only negative, tv stopped working whilst watching it , as only there for the one night wasn’t worth mentioning

Cosy room with a lake view and brand new ensuite. Walk in shower. Loved the huge bath towels! Staff were very friendly with some helpful tips on parking. Very close to everything Bowness has to offer. If I could make one suggestion, it would have been great to have a small fridge in the room. Overall it was a fantastic stay. Would stay here again.

The room was dirty, there was dust clung to the wallpaper but the worst element was the foisty and mouldy bathroom, it smelt and had lots of visible mould. The shower head was dirty and covered in black gunk, the extractor didn’t work which I’m guessing is what had helped the mould grow.

Low price, but uncomfortable bed.

For the price, I'd stay again, provided they replace the mattress, it was too soft and old, my wife ended up in the z bed with my daughter as it was hurting her back.
It was also cold, with no heating, it was the end of October and had to go to bed with a jumper and socks on.

Checkin was smooth with the freindly barman.

The room was clean, kettle, hairdryer etc. provided. Could do with a larger mirror.

The room was quiet, I couldn't hear other guests or noise from the pub below. No road noise, the room overlooked the main road but I couldnt hear buses as they past, obviously this would be different on a hot summers day with the window open.

Checked into the hotel went for a walk, when we returned the accommodation in the hotel section had no power despite the bar still being open, we were given no apology just told they had to wait for an electrician to turn it back on, this was about 5.30pm we ended up going to bed early with no light no heating or hot water, it eventually came back on about 10pm I think and woke us up, again on check no apology nothing.

I liked the proximity to the town.Very basic. Wasn't worth the price we paid. Wasn't designed for a woman. No hooks for clothes in the bathroom and know where to put your toiletries in the shower. You would be ok if you wanted to use there's. Nothing for sanitary towles. One bin for rubbish. Member of staff on the day we arrived didn't seem very friendly. Wouldn't stop again.

You get what you pay for

Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.

Loud and noisy above the saloon

It was bound to happen. After years of Hotels.com reviews, I have experienced my worst night and would like a refund. Never should one be in a room above/adjacent to a bar (especially on Saturday night). The noise was beyond uncomfortable even for me, a very heavy sleeper. I may have gotten 3-4 hours of sleep.

So so at best

It is difficult for me to understand how places that don’t allow you into your room until mid afternoon don’t have space to store your luggage. Also there was a very poor water stream from the shower and no internet availability from the top floor.

Needs some tlc and modernising. Although in a good location it’s spoilt by the lack of decor and poor quality. The staff were very nice and helpful customers from the pub tended to smoke and chat right under our window and it was very noisy the karaoke went on till midnight.

We had high hopes for this stay after the previous good reviews. We arrived on the Friday night and were hoping for a good nights sleep as we were up at 4.30am the next day to go walking. The rooms are directly above the pub and on the Friday the pub stayed open until 2am with very loud music and even louder patrons. The website stated it closed at 11pm and the sign on the door 12am. However at 1.15am we couldn’t take the noise any more, I went down to the bar and asked if the bar was closing soon. The barman was apologetic and said they would keep the noise down. Unfortunately nothing changed and the party finally stopped just after 2 and the party goers left about 2.20am. We spoke to management the next day who were very sorry and said the bar should have closed at 12 and it accidentally stayed open. Initially we were offered a bottle of wine, after we explained our situation they eventually refunded the night. The next night we had no issues, however the final evening the room next to us decided to have a gathering and as the doors and walls were very thin we were able to hear everything being said / laughed at. Luckily this ended at 12am so we did get some sleep. The hotel do also allow dogs so every time someone went in/ out of their room, regardless of the time of day, we heard a few dogs barking at the noise, however, in isolation this would not have been an issue.

The rooms were fine, slightly dated but very clean. If it wasn’t for the noise issues we would return.

White paint dots over bathroom floor, pity somebody wasnt more careful. Bed comfy, glad there was a fan as room very hot, even with windows open. We would come back and stay again. Thankyou

Had a disappointing stay here and wouldn’t recommend it. The toilet was broken (wouldn’t flush). We did report this but it wasn’t fixed. We had a terrible nights sleep as the doors to each room slam shut very loudly so we heard guests coming back at 1am and then guests leaving at 6.30. The noise from the road is loud. All in all not a comfortable or relaxing stay.
