Check-in poor as we had to wait for over 10 minutes for the receptionist to appear. We had the barman and chef trying to find her, but no success. We were allocated a 2nd floor room but the windows were in a disgraceful condition, about 6 inches open and could not be closed. We informed reception and were given another room which was acceptable, however one of the towels was dirty. We brought the towel to reception who blamed it on the laundry - not a word of apology! On the positive side the breakfast was nice, but we would never stay here again.

Staff were nice, hotel is dated and could do with a refurbishment, there was damp on the wall and ceiling in my room.

Previously stayed here and enjoyed it because the of a nice view of the Lake and room was quite modern, so we decided to visit again. But this time we were given a small room that was at the back of the building, the room needed some updating and modernising like the other rooms, there was water pouring noises from the guttering / broken pipe hitting the window and squeaky whistling pipes all through the night so I barely slept. The TV was tiny, the shower had barely any pressure, it was cold for a long while and very awkward to wash yourself due to a big hand rail in the way on the wall.

Gave it the benefit of the doubt. Wish I hadn’t. Dated, dirty and disgusting room. Freezing cold. Rest of hotel and food was nice.

Ideal location with a fantastic view of the Lake

The hotel is in a great location next to Orrest Head viewpoint offering fantastic views of the Lake District. Its a 2 minute walk from Windermere train station and a 30 minute walk to the Bowness-on-Windermere by the Lake. The room looked recently refurbished and clean, with a comfy sized bed, decent storage space, and suprised us with a fantastic morning view from the bay window overlooking the Lake District. They offered us a good quality buffet breakfast with white or brown toast, selection of cereals, juices, sausages, eggs, scrambled eggs, hash browns, beans and bacon.
