Base for touring the Lakes on a motorcycle.
A good budget hotel for the price. Used it as a base to tour the Lakes on a motorcycle. Good breakfast and evening meal. Dedicated parking slots for motorcycles outside front door but did have to pay for parking £6 per day.

Wouldn’t stay again
When booking the hotel it said it was in Bowness. After searching around for over an hour the hotel was in Windermere which we didn’t want. The hotel is extremely run down & smells. The staff at breakfast were lovely couldn’t fault them at all

Ok hotel
Good location for exploring Windermere and surrounding area. Booths supermarket just acrross the road and bus stop to get further The Lakes. Room clean but would benefit with a bit of renovation- creaking floorboards, wallpaper peeling off in some places. Good breakfast, self service, choice of cereal and English breakfast items. I would recomend improvement in service. The receptionist recited the greeting formula on my arival giving the impression he is not interested in and just done the job; simmilar the guy in breakast room- you sit, eat and go! Quick! As a guest I would prefer to feel looked after with a bit of a care..

Firstly the hotel location on your map is wrong , tne hotel is not on bowness, it's at Windermere which is not we're I wanted to stay , I always book hotels in bowness , so it took me a long tone to actually find it after driving around the location you are pin pointing, I was with my elderly parents who found it very difficult to leave the hotel as it was at the top of a hill and walking to the lake , which was 30 minutes, you stayed it is 8 minutes, was not an option so it did spoil our stay there , the bar was not always serving food only breakfast and the room were clean but very scuffy and in need of a paint job , I never normally complain about your hotels but this was by far the worst ive stayed in

Property is on shabby side with long corridors to meander through to get to the room and no elevators making hauling luggage awkward. But rooms are clean and functional. Staff not too friendly. But location is prime, next to train station on top of hill and easy to walk to town and bus, making it a good place to stay if arriving on trains.

The hotel was acceptable but not luxury . The building needs updating the windows are so drafty there were instructions of how to use the heating in rooms so when it didn’t work we asked at reception to be told it’s only on in winter u can’t have it on which was said with an attitude by the member of staff he then provided us with a heater instead . The breakfast was passable but was cold. The hotel restaurant is a cafe next door which was lovely but not a restaurant! The hotel said it had parking but told us on arrival u have to pay per day . There was supposed to be a games room and a garden again not there . The hotel stated close to the lake it was a 30 min walk down hill then hike bk up hill . Again all this would be fine if it stated that when advertised .
