The location was fine. The room was spacious and light with plenty of room.
The stay was spoiled by there being no heating in the bedroom or bathroom. There was one radiator in the bedroom which didn't work. We did contact the owners and were told that it would be sorted. It wasn't and this made the stay uncomfortable.

Location
Room 4 is not a superior double room at all, it is a little box room with no view and a shower that has no pressure whatsoever. Room was never serviced throughout the 3 night stay!
Extremely noisy and certainly wouldn’t be staying here again! Not value for money at all
3.5 / 5.0
Good location
The room was freezing as they never put central heating on had to complain to go get heating on, bathroom absolutely freezing even with heating on, hot water tap very poor

Beautiful room very spacious, clean and warm. The bed was super comfy and very quiet. Like the large smart TV in the room and the touch lights in bathroom mirror. Shower lovely and warm, good pressure and lovely big towels. Had a great night's sleep. Location is very good for local restaurants and attractions. Easy hassle free check in. Would certainly stay again. Lovely place 😊
Everything was fantastic 😊

Hosts very promt with replies.
Great to have onsite parking.
Brilliant location, walking distance to all restaurants, bars, pubs, shops and lake.
Nice room furniture.
Secure house and room entrance.
Some lovely original features in the room and building.
I would return and I would recommend.
As we had a room with a terrace it would be nice to have a table/chair set out there. Only one lounger available.
The small garden area off the terrace needs a little tlc.
We were unable to use the wifi.
A net curtain on the large bay window would be good for privacy so you have option to leave the curtains open as our room was near the entrance with buildings opposite.
Our room could do with some of the painted areas touching up and the carpet refitted as it looked a bit untidy. That being said it didn't effect our stay.

No staff on site, coffee wasn't topped up from previous guests, bathroom wasn't clean, cracked sink, the bed was uncomfortable

It said it was 4 stars but we were not sure how they got that rating
The only time we rung and spoke to any staff, the lady was very offhand with us. It was not very clean and the room (no.6) was in dire need of decoration

great location and facilities
could do with some nets or something to partially cover the windows. Had to keep curtains closed to give some privacy as it’s overlooked from across the street…..Room 3

there’s no reception you ring to check which was not really explain would have been nice to know. housekeeper helped us in as we rang to check in but was waiting 10 mins which is not ideal.
4.5 / 5.0
The location was perfect especially with parking too. We had a wonderful overnight stay. Lovely and clean and perfect size for 2. Felt very private having our own entrance too as we stayed in the Coach Suite.
The complimentary minibar was a lovely touch.
It would have be nice to have bath robes especially as there is the jacuzzi bath and wet room which are fabulous.

Lovely room which had everything you'd need. Very clean. The location is excellent literally a 5 minute walk to all the shops/cafes/restaurants and not even a 10 minute walk from lake windermere. The staff we so nice and happy to help with anything we needed.

comfortable , warm room and close to amenities
it seemed like it could have done with a lick of paint , even though it’s an old building a little paint would have made it excellent
