“Beautiful location, fantastic food, great staff”
I booked this hotel as part of my mums 60th birthday present and she loved it. It is in a beautiful location which provides views of lake Windermere from the grounds, however the walking around the grounds near to the lake is limited. I requested a lake view room with flowers and champagne, all were great, except I didn’t feel the room was a proper ‘lake view’ as you saw more of the roof from the adjacent building (it was still beautiful nonetheless).
We stayed at the hotel for dinner the first night and I cannot remember the last time I had food that tasted that good. Everything melted in your mouth and it was worth every penny.
I have to give a huge shout out to the staff. They were absolutely amazing. So helpful, kind and generous. They really made us feel welcome. Thank you.
