The hotel room is very small. It is not very clean. It just offers the very very basic. Car parking is not free. However it is in good location - Windermere, in Lake District.

Not for light sleepers
Hotel is a little dated the room was warm and comfortable but wasnt decorated to well and was done to a poor/cheap standard. We took our dog and the room the put us in was on the ground floor near the stairs lift, so when people were coming in late at night waiting for the lift the dog was aleart which was keeping us awake. I asked reception the next morning if we could be moved but they advised they were fully booked even though i could see keys still hung up behind the desk where they issue them from. Hotel is in a great place and staff were pleasant and friendly but maybe need to put a door between downstairs rooms

Hotel is stunning outside, inside is a little dated but very comfy and accommodating. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t help enough.. the hotel is at the top of the bank in Windermere and around a 2 mile walk into Bowness-On-Windermere. I would definitely stay here again

Base for touring the Lakes on a motorcycle.
A good budget hotel for the price. Used it as a base to tour the Lakes on a motorcycle. Good breakfast and evening meal. Dedicated parking slots for motorcycles outside front door but did have to pay for parking £6 per day.
