Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotless'. However, there were isolated comments about a water stain and a dirty kitchen bin, suggesting room for improvement.
The location in Windermere, close to Bowness and Ambleside, is frequently highlighted as a positive feature, with guests expressing a desire to return due to the convenience and attractiveness of the setting.
Comfort is well-regarded with the property being described as 'cosy' and 'spacious'. Some guests mentioned the need for mattress upgrades, indicating that while comfort is generally good, there is potential for enhancement.
Facilities are considered good, with special mention of the on-site amenities and the provision of access to a health club. Some criticisms were made regarding the on-site pool's restricted times and the need for better-trained staff.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the provision of standard amenities, therefore it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

Loads of space and very comfortable.

Loss of water pressure for a short while on Sunday morning which we assumed might be due to high demand. No welcome pack or information leaflet. Enjoyed our stay and would return.

There were cleaning supplies, handwash, washing-up liquid, toilet rolls etc, which was very helpful. The only minor issues were no pillow or mattress protectors, and the kitchen bin was dirty and wet under the bag when we came to empty it, so had obviously been missed. Otherwise, all spotless. I only gave it 4 stars because the site facilities are a bit hit and miss, with bar and food staff who probably need a bit more training and a very limited shop. I would give the accommodation 5 stars.
