The location is amazing literally close to everything you need while travelling ....
The stairs up to the room which you need to climb carrying your heavy bags
10.0 / 10.0
Lots, location was great, well priced, finished to a very high standard, excellent find, would highly recommend
I might have missed it with the welcome messages but the door entry I didn’t realise you needed to press the keypad for the numbers to appear, being nit picky though.. it’s a great place
8.0 / 10.0
Good location nice double shower nicely decorated and very clean
Some noise at night because of location so near to 3 pubs.. settled down after 11pm. Steep stairs to room. Parking £9.80 for 12 hours had to return 11pm to get another ticket! (No 24hrs option)

Done up to a really high spec and was very comfortable
I can’t think of anything I didn’t like, maybe breakfast facilities would be nice but there is plenty of places around so wasn’t a major

The room was modern and clean, but the heating was not on and the water was not warm.
Modern room and it was clean

Modern and clean, good location
Bathroom was freezing and the lighted glass - whilst a great idea- not so great for using the bathroom in the night as it lit the whole room up!!

Check in was really easy and simple - you get sent a code to get into the building and room which is really efficient. The room is nicely prepared ahead of your visit (heating had been put on, radio was on and some water in the fridge). We had some issues with our room (see below), but we text the staff and they got this resolved for us straight away, so can't fault them. In a really good central location. Ahead of the stay, the owners send you a lot of information of places they would recommend nearby which was a nice touch and helpful for our visit.
We were initially staying in Room 6 (family suite), but unfortunately not long after checking in we were disrupted by the guests staying above - the floorboards are clearly really sensitive so we could hear them walking around and lots of movement coming from the bed, this was obviously really offputting and if you are sensitive to noise, I wouldn't suggest staying in this room. Also, this wasn't a deal breaker for us, but the check out time is a bit early, especially when you are staying for leisure - I think 11am would be better than 10am, especially when you can't check in until 3pm the day before, but this is a minor thing. Would be ideal if there was parking on site, we did manage to park on a nearby car park which was fine, but we stayed off peak and I know this car park gets really busy in season, so just an FYI.

Lovely location, really nice hotel for a few nights away. The room was modern and well furnished.
Could have been slightly clearer on check out instructions if anything, but had no issues with any of our stay!

Although room was beautiful it lacked storage space to unpack bags

The property was in a fantastic location, close to reasonably priced parking. The room was lovely, very modern and comfortable. Can’t fault it.
The only issue we had was some very creaky floorboards from above, however that was the only issue with a fantastic stay.

Location. Refreshments good. Bathroom good.
Couldn’t turn heating down so really hot and had to open door which isn’t ideal as leads to straight outside.

A lovely room in a perfect location in Windemere, everything you need is so close by. The facilities were gorgeous and so clean.

The property is really central in bowness but hidden out the way which is nice. I like that its self serve entrance meaning checking into the room is easy. We booked room 12 which was stunning. So comfy and unique style. Car park literally a 2 minute walk away. Absolutely perfect thank you
Nothing wrong with the property we loved it. Hair and body wash was provided would be nice to have a complimentary bubble bath for the rooms which have them available as a little extra.

Lack of facilities. Being a couple of geriatric travelers, having to lift 30kg suitcases up four flights of stairs was not ideal.
Otherwise we enjoyed the stay in town.

Location was excellent, parking was close by and cost-effective - That was a pleasant surprise.
Amenities were amazing - Not been to the Lakes for about 20 years.
Totally enjoyable.
Room was clean and well presented.
We’d stay again for definite.
We’d probably choose a bigger room, that’s all, so nothing to dislike really.
3.0 / 10.0
The location and the room decor.
It was far too small. Absolutely no room for two people to be able to shower and dress etc without being in each others way. The bathroom was really small and the whole floor was wet when the shower was used. There was no shelves or ledges to put a toiletry bag or toothbrush. No toilet roll holder so the that got wet. Very uncomfortable experience.
7.0 / 10.0
Good shower and bath. Centrally located in village.
Stingy on the toilet paper and no tissues. Also no servicing of the room during stay. Hard to load/unload luggage as no parking on site.

Location was great, the room was incredibly clean and very nicely designed, tv with Netflix access was a nice unexpected touch. Very comfortable bed.
Close to other guests meant we could hear them whilst in our room - we travelled with a young baby which could have been an issue both ways but the noise didn’t last too late
