Good location to explore Bowness. Easy check in and didn’t really see anyone after that. Rooms need a bit of TLC in my opinion but a good stay for what we paid.

Needs some tlc and modernising. Although in a good location it’s spoilt by the lack of decor and poor quality. The staff were very nice and helpful customers from the pub tended to smoke and chat right under our window and it was very noisy the karaoke went on till midnight.

Low price, but uncomfortable bed.

For the price, I'd stay again, provided they replace the mattress, it was too soft and old, my wife ended up in the z bed with my daughter as it was hurting her back. It was also cold, with no heating, it was the end of October and had to go to bed with a jumper and socks on. Checkin was smooth with the freindly barman. The room was clean, kettle, hairdryer etc. provided. Could do with a larger mirror. The room was quiet, I couldn't hear other guests or noise from the pub below. No road noise, the room overlooked the main road but I couldnt hear buses as they past, obviously this would be different on a hot summers day with the window open.

You get what you pay for

Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.

I liked the proximity to the town.Very basic. Wasn't worth the price we paid. Wasn't designed for a woman. No hooks for clothes in the bathroom and know where to put your toiletries in the shower. You would be ok if you wanted to use there's. Nothing for sanitary towles. One bin for rubbish. Member of staff on the day we arrived didn't seem very friendly. Wouldn't stop again.
