    We loved staying here. The location is perfect - easy to get around with public transport and surrounded by trees in a peaceful area. Being right on the lakeside gave us gorgeous views. Our room was comfy and had all the amenities we needed, including a heating system and tea/coffee making facilities. We appreciated the shared kitchen area and the carpeted floors. It was also nice to have a lounge and picnic area here to relax in. The staff at reception were helpful and friendly, making our stay even better.

    We recommend this hotel to families.

    My recent stay at YHA in the Lake District was an absolute steal for the price! The room wassuper clean and cozy, and the location next to the lake provided amazing views. The staff was helpful and made sure I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

    The hotel breakfast menu could have been improved with more variety in options.

    This lodge was in an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the town center and with lovely views from the room. The staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing early check in and offering helpful information about the local area. We enjoyed the spacious and clean room, as well as the great breakfast with delicious eggs and a variety of options. The free parking was also a bonus.

    Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the owner, who had our room ready and provided us with helpful recommendations for our stay. The room itself was spacious and well-appointed, and the breakfast was delicious. The location was also convenient, with plenty of nearby attractions. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this family-run B&B.

    Our room was cozy and clean, with comfortable beds and a spotless bathroom. the service provided by the staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. the breakfast offered a wide range of delicious dishes to choose from, ensuring that everyone had something to their liking. the leisure facilities were a great addition, including a gym and swimming pool.

    The hotel lacked diversity for dining options due to its rural location, limiting choices for restaurants nearby.

    Great location, just a short walk to the town center and the lake. Clean and spacious rooms with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Best of all, the price was affordable.

    Some cleanliness issues, such as a half-eaten biscuit and dirty socks in the room, and toilets not being cleaned daily.

    This hotel is centrally located for those who rely on public transport, making it incredibly convenient to explore the area. Additionally, the hotel boasts a prime location right in front of the lake, providing a picturesque and scenic view for guests. The rooms are well-appointed, with attention to detail and a higher bed, ensuring a comfortable stay. The staff provides excellent service and the basic amenities are all in place, including a jacuzzi bath in some rooms. The breakfast options are varied and satisfying, with the choice of how you want your eggs cooked and even porridge available. Plus, the rooms offer stunning views of the lake, adding to the overall charm of the hotel.

    We didn't encounter any issues at this hotel.

    Great waterfront location on Windermere lake. Great facilities including a bar and outdoor terrace. Self-catering options with well-equipped kitchen facilities. Helpful and friendly reception staff. Comfy beds with reading lamps and charging sockets. Beautiful lake and mountain views from the window. Games room with various activities. Reasonably priced budget accommodation

    Nothing to be said.

    This hotel offers the best of both worlds with facilities like table tennis and a pool table to keep you entertained indoors along with lovely views of the lake just next to it. the bar and restaurant serve great food in a cozy atmosphere. The staff is helpful and gave us lovely recommendations for walks around the city. The hotel has a prime location right at the edge of the lake, with easy access to transportation via buses and a short walk to the town center with plenty of shops and restaurants.

    Couldn't find any faults at all.

    I recently had a delightful stay at a charming lodge nestled in a quiet area surrounded by trees. The location of this hotel was perfectly situated for easy access to the surrounding areas, making it ideal for those who rely on public transport. My room, with its stunning view of the sea, was a joy to wake up to. The basic amenities were provided, including a comfortable double bed and a jacuzzi for ultimate relaxation. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the breakfast offered a variety of options to cater to everyone's taste, from cooked-to-order eggs to fresh fruit choices like grapefruit or tinned pineapple chunks. I especially appreciated the option of having porridge available as well.

    All was satisfactory during my stay.

    I recently had a fantastic stay at a hotel situated on the banks of Lake Windermere in the Lake District. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring the surrounding areas and taking in the breathtaking views. I loved how centrally located it was, especially for those who rely on public transport. The staff were exceptional, providing great service and attention to detail. The basic amenities in the rooms, including spare heaters, were a thoughtful touch. And let's not forget the view of the lake right outside the window - truly stunning.

    All was just fine, nothing to complain about.

    Two complementary facts offered upon arrival were a nice surprise. the location was central, walking distance to many attractions. Free Wi-Fi was a nice perk.

    The cleanliness of the room was questionable. the bathroom had not been properly cleaned in some time, and the towels were not fresh.
