Gorgeous, grand hotel in a fantastic location. Service great from all staff and hotel clean throughout. Family rooms a great size and ideal for a family of 4. Hotel is currently undergoing a period of renovation and you can see this is needed in places but this is to be expected for a grand and historic hotel.

The room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff were lovely and professional. There was a good selection at breakfast, with continental and cooked. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t in the main restaurant for dinner but a side dining room which lacked atmosphere and personality. Apart from this our stay was very enjoyable.

Have stayed here previously and really enjoyed our stay. Again, enjoyed our stay and love how handy it is to walk into Bowness. Staff are brilliant especially Moses on the bar who just makes you want to smile. Only negatives are that currently there is some building work taking place and our ensuite was tight to say the least. This did not spoil our stay but loses a star in my rating.
