Good things -Clean and quiet hotel located in great central area overlooking the lake. -Room was lovely. -Great breakfast. Bad things - £25 per day for parking in their own car park 5min walk away feels like a rip off. -Over sensitive fire alarm system meaning 1 alarm going off per day of our stay. No real communication from staff, guests were keeping each other updated from the little bits we heard. -Pool was not warm. -Shower was awful. Couldn’t maintain an even temperature and had no overhead shower.

Good location next to Lake Windermere and we had a great view of the lake from our room - very atmospheric in the early morning mist! Room lovely and warm and well appointed although a little more floorspace would not have gone amiss. Breakfast was very good - a decent amount of food, very tasty and well cooked. We also enjoyed the pool and sauna/steam rooms as well. Hotel is very well located with many pubs/restaurants/cafes within easy walking distance.

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.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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
