Relaxing stay.

We had a lovely relaxing night , the food was delicious and I accidentally left my phone charger and they rang me and I have received it back by post . Views from the dining room are over the lake and there is a great patio and garden for warmer weather . Highly recommended.

Free parking and views of lake from the dining room were very good. Half board - the dinner was good but overpriced so the 10% service charge worked out extortionate. NOT GOOD We were put in a small loft room with a difficult door to open and a tight stair access- the room and whole property needs a lick of paint and could be cleaner. Location too far from bowness - walking into town is 20minutes but on both roads which had no pavement so very dangerous. Wouldn’t stay here again .

The Rybeck is in a nice quiet location we booked a ground floor room with a patio (at extra cost) the room was clean and comfortable bathroom was small but adequate no bath only a shower . which we prefer. With regard to the food we booked half board but would not do so again as the a la carte menu was not as good as it sounded and I certainly would not have paid the prices had we not had the half board option. Breakfast had all the usual items but we did have one complaint when my wife was served scrambled egg which was cold (we heard another guest with the same complaint) not acceptable for a hotel which boasts about the chef. Another complaint was on our last day at 0930 there were no croissants left and when we asked the answer was they will be ready in 20 minutes. So to end although the hotel was nice including the staff I do not think regarding the above that we would return.

Slightly disappointed due to the cottage

The main house is beautiful but we were put in a ground floor cottage away from the main building so really didn’t get the hotel experience we would of liked and booked - the decor was tired and needs upgrading. The staff however are lovely. Would I stay again? I’m torn as the location and staff were lovely but we didn’t actually stay in the hotel we booked, we were in a small cottage room that was tired and unexpected! the price was over £200 for 1 night and being regulars to the area there are other hotels much better standard of rooms for the price. A shame we didn’t get to stay in the main house - the reason we actually booked from the pictures!

ウィンダミアやボウネスの中心部からは、距離があるので 電車やタクシーの利用が必要です。 スタッフは、概ねフレンドリーです。 ラウンジやレストランからの眺めが、とても良くおススメです。 朝食は、メインを1つ選びました。メインの選択肢は多いと思います。味も美味しかったです。 室内にヘアドライヤーやアメニティが揃ってます。冷蔵庫はありません。周りは静かなので、よく眠れました。 シャワーの水圧が弱い気がしますが、お湯の温度は問題ないです。

Beautiful hotel in lovely surroundings. Quite small room and small bed for a big price but comparable to others in the Lakes. Service could be improved. When we left there was no goodbye or thank you. I think they were busy preparing for a wedding.

The hotel is in a great location and the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our bedroom was on the top floor so we had great views of the lake. The room and bathroom were clean - just a shame about the wasp nest which must have been above the bathroom as we found quite a few each morning. However they were aware of the situation and were dealing with it. Being a smaller hotel, breakfast was cooked to order which I much prefer and the choice was excellent. There was also fresh fruit, cereals and yoghurt. We ate dinner on our last night in the restaurant and I can thoroughly recommend it. The restaurant overlooks the views of Lake Windermere and the gardens. The meal was beautifully presented and delicious! My husband had the 3 course set menu and I had a la carte. The only thing that marred our experience that evening was a couple with a small baby who was obviously very tired and kept up too late. He was banging his rattle on the highchair and throwing his food all over the place whilst they just sat there and drank their wine! Just a shame they didn't eat earlier (this was 8.00 pm) and finish before the other couples sat down as we all would have preferred a quiet evening meal! The gardens outside are well kept and have some beautiful shrubs. The hotel is situated about 5 or 6 minutes drive from Bowness on Windermere where there's plenty of parking and right

Beautiful views. Lovely garden, excellent dining room and outstanding breakfast. Lovely room - and bathroom ( superior) but too small for a child's bed and we had to ask for a replacement bed since the first bed was too uncomfortable for an 11 year old. BUT this was dealt with rapidly and pleasantly for the next night. Really welcoming reception staff and easy parking.
