Value for money
We had a fantastic stay here, with the perfect hosts always making themselves helpful. The breakfast was tasty and perfectly cooked, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The cleanliness of the rooms was of a high standard, and the location through a very pretty area was so close to Windermere Lakes. We also loved that it was within easy walking distance of the marina and town.
Nothing to fault.

Nothing all good.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, with doors that opened onto a lovely patio. I enjoyed watching the birds in the beautiful gardens while having breakfast. The food provided was wonderful, and I especially appreciated the option of a fruit platter and cereals before the hot breakfast. The hotel facilities were excellent, including a beautiful lounge area. The location was perfect, with easy access to the water and just a short walk to the town. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing great advice on places to see in the area. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the bathroom was well-stocked with high-quality toiletries from The White Company.
Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
