The property is quiet and beautiful. The walk through the secret garden is pretty magical, with accommodating rabbits to accompany you. No kidding - we named him Dave.

Welcoming and friendly, our family room was warm and spacious, tea, coffee, biscuits, a great shower. Breakfast had great choices and it was delicious, served with lovely views of the garden. Super close to the lake and town. We also used the voucher given to us for discounts on the boat trip. Would definitely recommend, we had a lovely time.

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.

Had the most amazing stay in a Family Chalet with our 4-year old daughter. Hotel is in amazing location, just a few minutes from Bowness. Free parking space is so handy and worth its weight in gold. Family chalet room was perfect. Nice modern bathroom. Comfy beds and extra beds for children. Main bar / lounge area was very traditional and homely. Lovely to relax in there and look out to the “secret garden”. Bet this would be amazing in summer. Complimentary afternoon tea and cake was a lovely touch. New fitness room was also a nice extra for a run/cycle. The hotel prides itself on its breakfast and it doesn’t disappoint! Beautifully cooked full English (Cumbrian) breakfast, which find a bit of a rarity with many hotels focused on buffet style. Lots of other options available too. Final thing - and most important - was the staff and owners. The nicest people you could meet and went above and beyond to make you feel so welcome and valued as guests. Will come back just for that reason. An absolutely perfect stay so thank you so much!

Had a great time, not my usual type of hotel. It’s very traditional and a bit dated but the staff were incredible and the chalet was so much better than a hotel with my family (7 week old baby) The free tea and cakes was also great and they let my mother and sister join which made my day. One of the best stays I’ve ever had, thank you so much

Spent a lovely 2 nights with my husband and 2 children. Clean, comfortable and spacious room in a very peaceful location but just a stone’s throw from busy Bowness. Very friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast - we’ll definitely return!
