A wonderful old country house for an overnight stay. The staff were exceptional, from check-in, through evening meal, to check-out. Welcoming, friendly and professional. We had an excellent meal in The Grill. The view from our room was spectacular.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. Hotel was extremely dog friendly so we decided to have dinner at the hotel and they made a table up in one of the lounges so our dog could be with us, we had the same table for breakfast as well. The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. Very peaceful location with added bonus of views of lake Windermere and mountains.

We stayed here for one night, half board. The location is fantastic, with amazing views and a short walk to the lakeside. We enjoyed both meals very much, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The bars and restaurants were nicely furnished and clean, and our room was a good size. We had a lovely weekend break and would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. All staff were welcoming, polite, professional and couldn't do any more to help. Special thank you to Amin who went the extra mile and sorted cream tea for us that we missed out on (mistake on our side!). 7 course tasting meal was a great experience and breakfast the following morning was cooked to perfection. Definitely going back. One of the best all-round hotels we've stayed at. Thank you all

Lovely country house, beautifully decorated. Our room had views to the lake. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful, breakfast staff not so much. Didn’t have dinner at the restaurant, but breakfast was nice and the hot food cooked to order. Just to note there’s no fridge in the rooms, I guess most guests either eat all meals onsite or head out.
