The hotel room was not what I expected; it was dark and shabby, lacking the lake view as promised. We were disturbed by noisy wedding guests and a nearby generator all night. However, the room was exceptionally clean and spacious, ideal for our dogs.

The location was lovely, despite some issues inside. It was right across from the lake and a short walk to Ambleside.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was beautiful with stunning views of Windermere, but the room I got was outdated and didn't meet my expectations for the price. The service was average, with polite but somewhat distant staff. The dining experience was a letdown, with subpar food and service. On the bright side, the facilities were decent, and I enjoyed exploring the scenic walks nearby.
Rooms
5.0
The room I stayed in was small, dingy, and dated for the price I paid. It needed a thorough clean and new bedding. Definitely not value for money.
Service
5.0
The staff seemed under pressure, and the cleanliness in the room was not up to standard. They were polite but could have been more cheerful.
Location
7.0
The hotel's location right on Windermere was truly gorgeous, offering beautiful views and scenic walks. However, the costly price didn't fully match the experience I had inside the hotel. The spa features were also disappointingly unavailable.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was substandard, with noise and slow service. It took an hour for my order to arrive, and the food was not up to par.
Facilities
The facilities were overall okay, but the claim of being fully booked for the spa and gym when they were visibly empty was frustrating. The breakfast service was chaotic.

The hotel seemed to promise more than it delivered. The rooms were below expectations and not as depicted in the pictures. The lack of access to the advertised spa and gym facilities was disappointing, especially given the steep pricing. However, the service was friendly and informative.
