understaffed breakfast thin wall
the location was alright, and the staff where mostly helpful to me.
The room was much too small, it barely fit the bed. breakfast was consistently understaffed. I waited almost thirty minutes for a coffee refill one morning. the walls must have been paper thin because i could hear every conversation happening in the next room, also, the traffic outside the hotel was quite loud all night.

Really good Stay

huge bed professional staff window seat gorgeous breakfast
The room featured a huge bed. Two reading chairs allowed us to enjoy the view together. Bathrobes provided a fantastic luxurious addition. Lots of towels were available. I found the staff very professional. They addressed our needs quickly. The restaurant was somewhat dark, so the staff ensured we had a window seat. The team seemed very skilled. The breakfast was gorgeous, offering a lovely fresh selection. The afternoon tea was tasty. The spa session proved lovely. Everything was beautiful. The pool and steam room provided great experiences.
The food and drink prices at the hotel seemed a little overpriced.

The hotel is near a river. Seats are available to sit and chill by the River Leven. A path at the car park leads to Lakeside Windermere Pier. It's a short walk. One can catch a boat up Lake Windermere from there.

Afternoon tea offered a variety of options. The Sunday roast was delicious and provided a generous portion. The beef was tender, furthermore, the breakfast buffet had delicious patisserie and a tasty à la carte menu with attractive presentation.
