Gardens were lovely. Great location & views across the water. Scaffolding is unfortunate but the workers should have moved hoodies, drinks etc when not working. Room was nice & staff fixed the leaking shower. Bed was comfy & breakfast food overall. £15 for parking is poor & I spent nothing in the hotel because of this. Would stay again.

We had a great time . The staff were all very friendly,polite and extremely helpful . The bedroom we had (34) was beautiful & so were the corridors leading to it . Very Laura Ashley 😊 The breakfast was fantastic too. The view from the rooms were of scaffolding but will be beautiful I’m sure when fully updated . Would definitely visit again . If only you could control the weather . It rained the whole time . Thank you

Beautiful Hotel

Beautiful hotel with the most amazing views. We couldn't have picked a better hotel to stay at in bowness. Hotel staff very attentive and helpful, the room was gorgeous with the most comfortable bed! Yes there is building work going on but didn't distract from our stay. Already planning to come back in September.

We visited in the middle of a refurbishment which wasn’t a major problem other than our lake view suite was obscured a bit by the scaffolding but we were told about this before our arrival. All the staff were lovely and welcoming as well as extremely helpful. We would definitely go back for another visit soon.
