The hotel is in a very good location, between Windermere and Bowness, a little closer to Bowness. It is a beautiful B&B, the view outside the window is very relaxing, and the breakfast is touchingly rich.

The feeling of an English country villa is very cozy. When traveling with a family, we thought that three people would squeeze into one bed, but when we came back, we found that the service staff had put up a folding bed. The service staff was very nice. If there was no service staff after 7pm, you could call if you needed anything, and enter and exit the hotel by yourself with the key. The restaurant is warm and clean, the service is good, and the dishes are also rich. It has its own independent parking lot. I will recommend it to my friends.

Overall it's pretty good, the location is also good, not far from the main pier and the train station. Breakfast is purchased in advance and placed at the front desk, and you just need to sit down and wait for breakfast the next day. The room is clean

The room is very stylish. Our room was fine except for the street which was noisy. I especially recommend breakfast. You need to book with the front desk before 6pm the night before. It is freshly made in the morning and very delicious! You can't miss it. The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to the train station and Bowness.

Hygiene: The room is generally clean
Facilities: The bed is a bit too soft, which may be a common problem in British hotels
Environment: The house environment is very creative and very good
Service: The breakfast supply efficiency is not high, it is recommended to go early and wait, otherwise it will easily affect the trip
