The hotel was half an hour walking from Bowness centre, but a taxi ride was around £5 each way; the view overlooking lake Windermere was stunning, and it's a family-run business with all focus on an enjoyable stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with lovely views of the lake and a cozy log fire in the lounge to keep me warm. The rooms are spread out along the front of the hotel, all enjoying the beautiful views, and everything was super clean and well-sanitized. However, the decor looked a bit dated and tired.

The dining experience was lovely with fantastic settings and the staff were fantastic, going above and beyond. The view of the lake added to the charm, although my husband was surprised baked beans weren't served. The quality was excellent, offering a wide choice of fruits and yogurts.
