The location and views are amazing. Over looks lake Windermere and 10.mins in the car to Windermere on Bowness. The staff were lovely. The room lovely. Very comfortable bed. Loved the private hot tub. The Spa facilities really good. The outside spa is being updated so that was out of use which was a shame as the weather was so warm.
Only criticisms were the shower cubicle tiles in our room weren't as clean as they should have been. However this was soon rectified once the staff were made aware. The sink made a gurggling sound after use for 5 mins or so but not major, and we would have liked black out curtains. It was dark but some light creeping in waking us up earlier than we would have liked They did offer us a free upgrade but we decided to stay in the room we had. As the upgrade was near the work being done on the spa and our room was lovely and quiet. Good job we took our own toiletries as they only provided 1 tiny tube shampoo and shower gel for 2 people for 2 nights. We did ask for more but none given. Think they forgot. For anyone with a mobility disability there are no lifts and not wheelchair friendly. Would have been useful to have had a fridge in the room to keep water cool and fresh. Breakfast was delicious and you could sit out overlooking the lake.
Over all we had an amazing stay and we would definitely stay there again.

This is a very mixed review. Everything I say here was raised with the management whilst we were there. First of all the positives. The hotel and room have amazing views. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are very clean. However for a hotel costing over £100 per night I would expect the following: the room to be cleaned and tidied every day. We were not told until I raised it that you have to book a clean before midday. They say it’s for environmental reasons, I would say it’s to save money. The internet is poor and they admit it. This is not good enough. Sort it! The bathroom has 1 small bar of soap and a couple of small bottles of shampoo. There is no where in the shower to put your soaps etc. the shower itself is amazing but having to bend down all the time is ridiculous. The breakfast buffet seems to run out of items and it took an age for them to replenish. One day it was orange juice then the next mugs and coffee. If they run out of croissants they don’t replace them. I thought the cooked breakfast was sub standard.
We enjoyed our two nights and the evening meals were great. It’s a lovely hotel but they need to get the jiggly bits fixed. Until
Then I will not return.

Just got back from a few days away here and I couldn’t fault it. Breakfast was lovely, rooms were clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was beautiful with some of the best views of the lake. We had a lake view room with a balcony and it was a stunning view to wake up too each morning. In terms of location it is far enough from Windermere centre (Bowness) that it was quiet and chilled but close enough that a short drive and you were back in the thick of it. Cannot wait to come back next year once the infinity pool is opened

The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. I was quite disappointed with the food, though. I’d seen some great photos of dishes from the restaurant that used to be inside the hotel (Burlingtons), but it’s no longer there, so the food on offer didn’t live up to expectations!

The spa was lovely, and the staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. However, the rooms were very small and lacked storage space, with nowhere convenient to hang clothes or towels.

Overall, I would say the hotel felt more like a 3-star establishment than a 4-star one. While the service was excellent, the rooms and dining experience didn’t meet the standard I was expecting from a 4-star hotel.

We stayed in a standard hot tub room. It was nicely presented and comfortable with a lovely view of the lake from the hottub. The hot tub was so relaxing we went in 3 times even though we only stayed one night. The bathroom had a jacuzzi bath and a small seperate shower which seemed strange with a hot tub as well. It would have been better with a larger shower without the bath. The shower tray had quite a lot of black mold around it which there really is no excuse for, we reported this to reception along with the faulty hairdryer, hopefully these issues have been sorted for the next guests. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and the staff worked hard to make sure we had what we needed. Our steaks were not cooked to our liking at first but this was quickly rectified for us. We didnt have breakfast so can't comment on that. Unfortunately, we wouldnt stay here again as we have some mobility issues and there are a lot of steps and no lift but that is down to our circumstances. Overall a lovely experience.

We recently stayed here and overall had a fantastic experience.

The room was newly refurbished with modern furniture, a large TV, and all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The views over Lake Windermere were absolutely stunning and made the trip feel extra special. The food was excellent throughout our stay, with a particularly great breakfast offering plenty of choice and quality ingredients.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. We also made good use of the spa facilities, which were excellent, very clean, and well maintained.

There were a few downsides. Due to refurbishment works, guests had to walk through the restaurant in bathrobes to access the spa, which felt a little awkward. The fire alarm also went off at around 11:30pm, causing some disruption. We found the mattress quite firm and not particularly comfortable for our liking. Parking was also challenging, with limited spaces available considering the number of guests, and only one disabled parking space.

Despite these issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning, especially for the beautiful location, excellent food, and superb spa facilities.

Our room was at the top of the building up several flights of stairs. No lifts. We were assisted on arrival with luggage.
The location was great and plenty of parking at the rear if no space at the front.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel.com website was misleading as it didn't mention that there was building work ongoing and the out door pool closed. The scaffolding and other buildings equipment/materials spoiled the otherwise beautiful views of the lake.
The breakfast was very nice with a decent choice.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable. However the floor tiles in the bathroom around the toilet were not fitted correctly big gaps very shabby.
Once the building works are completed and the new infinity pool opens it would be worth the price we paid. Someone needs to finish the bathroom tiling it looks bad and can't be hygienic.

The location is the big selling point; views over the lake are exceptional. The menu has a good choice, but doesn't vary from day-to-day. That could become an issue for a longer stay, but if it looks good on the menu, it will be good when it's served. The location sold it, but the staff made the trip exceptional. They really made us feel like ensuring we enjoyed our stay was their personal mission.

There is a fitness note; I'm admittedly out of shape, and retirement age, but I found the stairs to be almost too much at times. The climb from our suite to the bar/restaurant left me out of breath for a couple of minutes.

This hotel is in a refurbishment stage and work is on going but the hotel have worked hard to minimise the impact on residents. Work is evident around the new infinity pool and spa area and in some of the rooms as they work through the hotel. Part of the car park was clearly used by the builders but it did not have any impact our stay. The food was excellent and sitting out on the terrace enabled conversations with other guests with enviable views of the lake and even the spectacle of low flying military aircraft across the lake. Truly memorable and enjoyable. We tried the spa with indoor jacuzzis, steam room, sauna and pool with loungers. Robes, slippers and towels provided in your room due to part of the spa area being under construction. Again it was lovely. We found all staff to be very friendly and accommodating and we had a lovely time in an excellent location.
Our room had been refurbished and had a lovely modern tiled shower room with heated towel rail, large tv, big bed and had all the extras like iron and ironing board, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities, biscuits and mini chocolate mint cakes, fitted wardrobe, desk with chair, balcony with bistro table and chairs and lake views. Note our balcony was fully useable but not completely finished with the paint work on the railings needing a little refresh.
Great If you can cope with a little disruption for great views and location or wait and it will be a fantastic hotel when finished and we certainly hope to return.

The hotel is lovely. We arrived to find we had been upgraded from the snug to a double bedroom with a view which was lovely. But disappointed not to have a bath even after an upgrade though. There are a lot of stairs to get anywhere, which was fine but worth noting. There is access to the lake outside via a path and some stairs which is lovely.

The spa was great but as they are doing some work on it the outside bit wasn't available. This was fine as we were alerted to this, but there were also no changing facilities which we were not made aware of until we arrived. This meant walking through the hotel in the very snug dressing gown and slippers they provided, which was not ideal. It also meant that you could not access the spa after checking out as there was nowhere.to change, which wss a shame.

All the staff were brilliant and the restaurant/bar/lounge area was great. We were not overly impressed with the food though. I didn't want much for tea and fancied the goats cheese balls off the small bites menu, but they had run out. So I ordered fish goujons and was presented with a pile of fish fingers - not very gourmet and definitely over priced! At breakfast we were asked for our cooked order before we had sat down and it arrived before we had chance to make the toast. We both had poached eggs which were a little undercooked, which was a shame. The continental selection was good though.
Overall, a nice stay and we would return but would probably not have our tea there.

An almost satisfactory stay in what could be a fabulous hotel. Of note: Staff were very helpful and friendly.
The interior of the hotel is nice enough. I stayed in a recently refurbished room which was clean and fresh. There are little bits that make it seem that corners have been cut though - no safe in the room and no do not disturb sign or similar to let housekeeping know you're sleeping. Some of the finishes look a little rushed - perhaps there's still snagging to do. Same goes for the spa area - nice but just lacks a certain something. On my last morning, there was chewing gum and hairbands on the side of one of the hot tubs first thing upon opening so clearly no cleaning done before opening.
As you walk around the hotel there are little glimpses to patio areas that are overgrown with weeds, some of the windows are dirty, even the sign at the front of the hotel could do with a good scrub - all easy fixes but these bits just make the place look shabby.
The construction work could be a bit more considerate too - starts at 8am. I'd asked for a quiet room as I needed to sleep in on my first day but I was awoken early by building work (which I had been pre warned about but I'd also been told I'd have a quiet room).
This hotel has huge potential and hopefully they will get their act together once the building work and a bit of general maintenance is complete.
Of course, what really sells this place is the amazing view over the lake - simply stunning.
