服務一流,酒店位置較偏,不是自駕的就很不方便。酒店有酒吧服務,附近很多住客都會過來用餐和喝酒

在英國這次住了這麼多家酒店,唯一踩坑的一家。這家基本上就是一家印度人運營的家庭旅館,不是連鎖酒店,果然就踩了坑。我們一家三口,一個孩子,説房間小住不下,臨時加收了兩晚1200人民幣,但又説沒房,衹換了第二晚的房,為什麼要加收兩晚的費用?住其他的連鎖酒店就沒有這種問題。小的家庭旅館就是會有這種事情,攜程不應該掛牌這樣的旅館。服務跟價格比起來,能訂連鎖酒店的還是訂連鎖酒店吧。設施也非常一般,就是山間小屋,又小又潮。位置的話,距離温德米爾火車站直線距離很近,但這個是障眼法。實際上你過不去,輪渡你要有足夠的時間,還要倒公交,交通非常不便。我們從火車站出來,打車繞湖30分鐘花了400人民幣。

Very friendly staff and nice and clean
The menu for breakfast and dinner was limited as to choice and could do with having an alternative some days
I asked for a sandwich at 3.15pm and was told the kitchen was closed even though their information page states soup and sandwiches until 4.00pm
We stayed in room no2 and we are active 70 year olds but found getting out from the shower/bath was a big step and waiting for an accident to happen

Wonderful place with welcoming staff. Food was amazing, you have to try the Sunday roast ( bring a big appetite.)

Comfortable and compact
Booked a double room online for myself priced £144. My husband decided to join me and there was an extra charge of £30. I needed an early start as was offered porridge, a banana and a yoghurt takeaway.
My husband went for breakfast and there was very little in the way of offerings which was little disappointing. The room was comfortable and quiet and very close to Cunsey if you are booking for The Lap.

An extremely love
A truly fabtastic stay!!!
I took part in "The Lap" 47 mile ultramarathon on the Saturday and was booked to stay Friday through to checkout on Sunday.
I actually finished work early and asked if i could add a day on. The hosts were very accommodating and so i stayed an extra night.
When i got there, the staff were very welcoming, the bar was fully stocked with lots of drinks and crisps too.
The room was very comfortable, great bathroom and very comfy bed.
The service was excellent. The room was made everyday and restocked. Fantastic!!
Evening Meal was gorgeous. Very high quality food and a good selection.
Breakfast was impossible for me as i had to leave at 5am for the race so the hosts made me a breakfast bag, which i thought was very kind of them.
Breakfast the Sunday morning was very nice. Good selection if cereals, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, juices etc.
I VERY HIGHLY recommend the Cuckoo Brow not only for the comfort and location to the Lake Windermere, but the hosts too. Very very lovely people who make your stay very comfortable.
Im doing The Lap again next year and my girlfriend has already booked our stay here for 2026 ( Miss Jackson) so that shows you how good it is.
