2/10 Poor

Terribly rubbish hotel ; shame for Lake district
Absolutely Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs! I wish I could give this place zero stars. From the moment I walked in, it was a disaster. The staff was rude and dismissive. They have me a piece of paper where it explains that there is parking charge but they did not bother to mention there is any service request required for getting a basic clean of the room. They acted like it was my fault when I reported The room was NOT serviced. They shown me a nearly hidden notice that they wouldn't service the room unless requested, which is already frustrating, but what’s worse is that even after requesting it, they didn’t bother to change the bedsheets, towels, or duvet covers so they only put them upside down. I had to sleep on dirty sheets, and it was absolutely disgusting. Also the bathtub was so narrow that it became uncomfortable or unsafe to use, and if the handrail obstructed its usability, wondering if this design allows both regulations and comfort. Handrail is must thing but that should allow a person a medium build person to use the bath. To make matters worse, the mattress was horrible – it was so old and poky that I could feel the springs digging into my back all night. It was impossible to get a decent night's sleep. The whole experience felt like the staff just didn’t care about their guests’ comfort or basic hygiene This was by far the worst hotel experience of my life. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else!

Tired room, but friendly staff, limited paid park
Really friendly staff from the enquiry call, but little else stood out except the price. En-suite room for the cost of a hostel bed, so can't complain. Room was exceptionally dated and rundown, looked like years of mould and rust had been painted over and badly so. The door meant everyone walking past speaking at a normal tone sounded like they were standing over your bed, not great when opposite the laundry cupboard! If i'd paid more, i would of complained about the room. It also wasn't obvious that you had to pay extra for parking, with an odd system of quoting your reg number when you arrived and paying at a machine on departure, which meant a gaggle of folk waiting around the front door.

A real experience hotel, large rooms, very comfortable and the character of the hotel has remain over the years. lots of coach tours each night which made dining or grabbing a drink in a little awkward for a couple. Real close to other dining options in the nearby village.

Room was basic but ok. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of cobwebs on the ceiling and a pill on the floor by the bed so not sure how well cleaned it was

Good location
The hotel room is very small. It is not very clean. It just offers the very very basic. Car parking is not free. However it is in good location - Windermere, in Lake District.

Not for light sleepers
Hotel is a little dated the room was warm and comfortable but wasnt decorated to well and was done to a poor/cheap standard. We took our dog and the room the put us in was on the ground floor near the stairs lift, so when people were coming in late at night waiting for the lift the dog was aleart which was keeping us awake. I asked reception the next morning if we could be moved but they advised they were fully booked even though i could see keys still hung up behind the desk where they issue them from. Hotel is in a great place and staff were pleasant and friendly but maybe need to put a door between downstairs rooms

Base for touring the Lakes on a motorcycle.
A good budget hotel for the price. Used it as a base to tour the Lakes on a motorcycle. Good breakfast and evening meal. Dedicated parking slots for motorcycles outside front door but did have to pay for parking £6 per day.

Wouldn’t stay again
When booking the hotel it said it was in Bowness. After searching around for over an hour the hotel was in Windermere which we didn’t want. The hotel is extremely run down & smells. The staff at breakfast were lovely couldn’t fault them at all

Ok hotel
Good location for exploring Windermere and surrounding area. Booths supermarket just acrross the road and bus stop to get further The Lakes. Room clean but would benefit with a bit of renovation- creaking floorboards, wallpaper peeling off in some places. Good breakfast, self service, choice of cereal and English breakfast items. I would recomend improvement in service. The receptionist recited the greeting formula on my arival giving the impression he is not interested in and just done the job; simmilar the guy in breakast room- you sit, eat and go! Quick! As a guest I would prefer to feel looked after with a bit of a care..
