That is a blanket statement with no evidence of any complaints, sad it has taken you from your stay in November 2023 until now to make such a claim

Would recommend and stay again
Stumbled across this little gem but hadn’t heard of it before so I weren’t expecting much. Turned up and was warmly welcomed and straight away taken to my room. We stayed in the junior suite (bay room) it was huge, so much space for your luggage including a closet, bathroom was modern with shower and bath and also huge comfy bed. We didn’t realise how close we were to the main part of Windermere town, about a 5-6 minute walk if that. We struck gold finding this little gem. Breakfast was included with our stay and there is a choice of hot food and continental , food was lovely, had full English both days and didn’t disappoint. Room and reception area was spotless.

With only a two minute walk to the Lake and five minutes to the village, you can leave your car and enjoy the area, on foot by bus or cruise on the steamer

Great location and breakfast.
A last min stay, due to a campervan breakdown. The rooms are prefab buildings that look a little tired from the outside, but are perfectly pleasant on the inside. Private parking and balcony was nice. Everything is a little dated and could do with a refurb, but the stay was comfortable and we would return. Highlight has to be the location, being 5 min walk from the lake and the breakfast, which was plentiful and most enjoyable. The team were also fantastic.

Property disappointing. Stayed in chalet type accommodation, overall clean. Furniture worn, room needs attention. Convenient to town and attractions. Breakfast also disappointing. Warm selection burnt and tasteless.Good selection of continental offerings. Not worth the money

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the burn how was fabulous, the room, grounds the breakfast and location were all fantastic. But above all else the ladies which run the hotel are second to none, me and my wife haven’t experienced hospitality like this for a long time. Keep up the good work ladies a pleasure to have met you all, James and Lisa room12

Great two night stay.
Stayed for two nights in the Bay Suite. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and an easy walk to Bowness centre. The staff were all excellent and really made the stay. If you are looking for an ultra modern hotel this is not for you. If you want a comfortable and welcoming place to stay it’s great.

We took a garden room which was very comfortable, with all the facilities you would wish and a lovely view. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. This hotel has an award for its breakfasts and quite right too. They also serve tea and cake free of charge if you are there between 3 and 5 pm. What's not to like! The location is very central and convenient.
