    Had a great time with friends! We explored Windermere with daily cruises and loved the half marathon looping around YMCA Lakeside. The location was awesome, close to everything. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, perfect before our adventures.

    Cozy vibes and good eats

    Spent a night here and loved our spacious room. The location was spot-on for our plans. The bar area had a nice ambiance, and the open fire was super cozy. Dinner was alright, kinda average, and took a bit long to come. Breakfast was a highlight with fresh quality products!

    weak shower pressure
    thin walls

    The Classic Double Room was cozy and charming. Super clean and the beds were comfy—definitely got a good night's sleep. Loved the historical vibe of the Grade II listed building. The bathroom felt modern and fresh, which was a nice surprise. Just wished the shower pressure was a bit stronger. a solid stay despite a couple of minor quirks.

    understaffing

    Cozy atmosphere with welcoming staff. The food quality exceeded expectations. Service was slow, likely due to understaffing. Not ideal for a quick meal, especially after a walk. Plenty of local beer options available to enjoy after that.

    cozy evenings
    friendly team
    garden area
    shower pressure

    We had a lovely two nights here, enjoying cozy evenings with hearty meals and friendly chats with the team. The garden area was perfect for relaxing, and the live music added a nice touch to our stay. The shower pressure in our room could've been better, but it didn’t really dampen our experience. 😊
