The lift was out of order. We wanted a lake view and to use the gardens, but there was scaffolding impeding our view and all laid across the gardens. If we knew about this, we would not have stayed at this property. We had no choice but to stay because we had nowhere else to go. We would like a refund for this terrible experience because it was not as described or advertised and we weren’t given an opportunity to change our minds.
Scaffold on the gardens
Scaffold spoiling what should have been a beautiful view of the lake
Lift out of service. We had to carry our bags to the second floor.

Great location and view of Lake Windermere. Unfortunately when making the booking we were not made aware of the ongoing renovation at the hotel, therefore we ended up with a noisy bedroom, could not use the gym and the bathtub was blocked. We did not have bath towels upon checking in, when I asked for hair conditioner, the front desk referred me to the Tesco down the road! This is not a 4 star hotel, not the amenities not the service level.

The downstairs common areas are really lovely. The grounds, the lounges and the staff were great. The room on the other hand was very shabby. Room 83. The furniture was shabby, a previous leak had made the ceiling bulge. The crack and bulge has just been painted over. The bathroom was not clean and again, very shabby. This is such a shame as I had wanted to stay here for a while. There is no welcome literature or info in your room. The bedroom felt a bit baron, not the Laura Ashley vibe at all. The downstairs and upstairs do not match. The stairs and carpet are very worn and the carpet is filthy. The lift did not work and we checked in an hour late due to our room not being ready. I have to stay the staff did make up for this and offered as a complimentary drink when we couldn’t check in so complaints there. A hotel of two halves!

There was lots of building work going on, really noisy early morning. Pillows like pancakes so take ur own. The bathroom could have done with a grout clean it was really mouldy. Blinds were dirty. Furniture very dated. The ceiling over bed was about to fall in. The glass cabinet in the hall was displaying wedding table arrangements which was all full of dirty water. You would think that a display for advertising would be pristine. I would give this a 3 star. Gardens were beautiful until I walked down hill to find lots of empty bud bottles. No hairdryers. £15 a night for parking a bit cheeky.

We had a lovely 2 night stay and would recommend. The rooms were well presented, clean and tidy which was great. First floor room was cold though and heating didn’t come on. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice - really enjoyed that. Check-in wasn’t great as rooms were an hour or so late in bring ready, but a drinks voucher was offered by means of an apology. We’ll stay here again, and would recommend to others!
