“The hotel's location is a real asset, placing guests within a manageable walk of both Windermere and Bowness; the friendly staff also made a positive impression.

I'd say this is a reasonable option, especially considering its proximity to local attractions.”

The hotel staff were very polite and helpful. I found this nice. the bedroom was nice and neat. the location was relaxing and a great base to adventure from to the villages of the lakes. It was ideal. i feel it would suit many who wanted a base to go walking or use the water sports.
