We stayed for one night with two dogs. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a lovely bar area! The hotel was in a great location and our room was clean. The decor in the hotel was slightly dated, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the night.

Great stay overall! The room was spacious and the amenities were very good. The only downside was the poor ventilation in the bathroom, which caused an unpleasant smell. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Good location to explore Bowness. Easy check in and didn’t really see anyone after that. Rooms need a bit of TLC in my opinion but a good stay for what we paid.
