First, the good things: the staff here were all very friendly, welcoming, and served an excellent breakfast. I also appreciated that the hotel has a free car park for guests, and it was nice and quiet and conveniently located to bus stops or comfortable walks to Windermere and even Bowness. The hotel is generally nice but showing wear and tear / shabbiness in the halls, common rooms, etc (and our room door had been replaced with a strange industrial style one that reminded me of a public washroom). Our room was the real issue: it was sweltering hot, even after the temperature dropped one day and outside there were cool breezes and rains. It remained stale and stagnant, and we were only able to be in there for short periods of time thanks to a small portable fan that they put in for us. Even with the window open, there was no air flow whatsoever. There were other little issues with the room: the shower door didn’t fully close and would fold up towards you as you showered, making for a difficult showering experience. They also provided some toiletry amenities, but an odd mix: two shampoos but no conditioner, no hand soap, etc. Overall it was a good value and the room would have been fine save for temperature issue.
