Hotel was nice, a little dated as others have mentioned. Room was very clean and had everything you need. Evening meal was really nice and service was good - very swift and 3 courses all done within the hour - could have been there a lot longer if you wanted. Breakfast was also very good. Had an issue with the Wifi - had nothing in the room - spoke to reception who were dismissive saying he has it on his phone and had a new system 3 days ago - I said you may want to turn on the wifi at the end of the hotel as nothing there on any device - signal not the best on mobile data either. Check in and out was quick and easy - car park had one space left when i got there and was a tight squeeze to get the car in - apparently people who use the spa there also use the car park so spaces can be limited during the day but more spaces become available later in the day. Overall it was a perfectly good place to stay, if it wasn't for the clubcard vouchers though i would never have paid over £250 to stay there!

We had a family rooms.. which was very generously sized, with 3 large,very comfortable beds and good facilities. Breakfast was very tasty with plenty of choices. All saff helpful and friendly. Really handy being so central in Bowness & plenty to do around and about... as always the views were amazing. Only negative point to make was that the wifi wasnt too great in the hotel & we gave up trying to download anything for our daughter to watch. Also its an additional £20 to park... so watchbout for that. ...given the price of the stay, we thought it should have been complimentary ... but, hey ho.... it wouldnt put us off staying again Overall really happy with our stay x

Good location and good service

The hotel decor is rather tired, pool/ spa area no jacuzzi, sauna out of order and limited seating. Very expensive comparative to other spa hotels in the lakes with many of the others having better facilities. Location great for exploring Bowness

Excellent hotel - good location, services, pool, patio and food. Rooms were large and accommodating. It may be tilted towards the lake so you may want to position the bed accordingly.

Lake view rooms are great, bar area and reception need updating.

Lovely hotel, very clean and great location

Great location but the property is in need of a big refurb and deep clean. The rooms were ok and clean but the rest of the hotel was awful, especially considering the price they charge. We had breakfast with a window view overlooking the lake, lovely apart from the dirty windowsill full of dead flies. The window area was full of damp. The service was not great, no plates, warm orange juice. When you are paying nearly £300 b&b I expect a lot more. We won’t be staying again unfortunately.

Staff very polite and helpful. Bed comfortable No wifi in bedroom. This should be sorted out. Wifi is expected to be accessible.

At the Old England hotel the staff were overall good. I was disappointed in the room in that considering the amount charged it was a room in the far recesses of the hotel and involved a lot of going up and down stairs. This was a problem on leaving with our suitcases and for me as a pensioner there on my 70th birthday. We had paid more for a lake view but this was ruined by big blobs of bird poo ruining the view. Surely the cleaning staff could have informed the outside maintenance staff of this when preparing the room for us. Staff did get the poo removed once we had told them but we should not have had to do so. The poo looked as though it had been there a while ! Not impressed by the breakfast either so much so that we did not bother going after our first day. Hence my overall rating of average but it was average rather than poor due to staff making a good impression.

Our room was nice. We had a terrace but when you sit down, all you can see is a cream wall ( you have to stand up for the view). The hotel should take a foot or two from the wall and install railings. Complimentary wine was undrinkable. No shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom which I expected for the price ( £730.20 with parking). Hotel needs a power wash as it look rather tatty. Enjoyed breakfast but though a £5 additional charge for eggs Benedict/ eggs Florentine. Great location.
