The hotel is a great location, I feel like it does rely on that for the price point. There’s lots of areas that need a fresh lick of paint and a deep clean. Also, there’s only the breakfast room that overlooks the lake so that’s your only chance to enjoy the views if you are in a standard room. The room was beautiful however again, mould patch above window and areas that needed a good clean eg the bath needed some unblocker and the radiator had open pipes due to missing part which revealed a lot of dust. Also, only has shutters so for people who like darkness like me, you aren’t getting that- I would expect curtains over the blinds and a turn down service for the amount it costs. Also, would have been nice to have cases taken to room or atleast directed to the easier route to avoid wandering round trying to find the room with cases. The gardens are lovely and a big perk is being able to get to the pier through the gardens, would have been lovely to know information like this on arrival.

Foolishly selected a cosy double which had a bathroom the size of a broom cupboard. School boy error. Welcoming staff. Couldn’t get served at bar, poor barman was over run. Breakfast a mediocre buffet affair, coffee machine not working. Beautiful property in throes of upgrade.

The room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff were lovely and professional. There was a good selection at breakfast, with continental and cooked. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t in the main restaurant for dinner but a side dining room which lacked atmosphere and personality. Apart from this our stay was very enjoyable.

Had a great stay. Staff welcomed us on arrival and assisted us with bags from the car even in the rain without any request. All staff were really helpful and lent us umbrellas due to wet weather. Room was lovely and spacious and was clean. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was plentiful with good choice and very tasty. The hotel is doing some renovations but it had no effect on our stay. Would definitely look to stay again

Nice room with great views, Breakfast was terrible cold and inedible. The most expensive hotel on our 11 day trip and the worst breakfast, didn't even both on our 2nd day. This needs a serious review. Staff were great location brilliant room nice, don't waste time or money on breakfast.

Fabulous few days here. We stayed in a four poster suite with lake view and it was perfect. The room was spacious with a seating area to view the lake and all the activity on it. The bathroom was great, with the choice of a standing free bath and a modern shower with excellent rain water experience. The bed was extra large and so comfortable with soft pillows and duvet. Plenty of tea, coffee and Kendal mint cake to enjoy a cuppa in the room. The bar and restaurant were excellent. Happy with the choices for the breakfast buffet. We ate in the restaurant each evening and was really happy with the quality and presentation of the food - thanks for good chefs! For a light meal, we recommend the halloumi chips and the bbq sticky chicken. All the hardworking staff we met from cleaners, bar, waiting, reception were very friendly and made you feel welcome. All were great ambassadors for the hotel! Would recommend to anyone; and we will return ourselves!

Gorgeous, grand hotel in a fantastic location. Service great from all staff and hotel clean throughout. Family rooms a great size and ideal for a family of 4. Hotel is currently undergoing a period of renovation and you can see this is needed in places but this is to be expected for a grand and historic hotel.
