The service is first-class, but the hotel is in a remote location, which is very inconvenient if you don't drive yourself. The hotel has a bar service, and many nearby guests come to eat and drink

I stayed in so many hotels in the UK this time, but this was the only one that ******. This is basically a family hotel run by Indians, not a chain hotel, and I was really fooled. We are a family of three with one child. They said the room was too small to accommodate us, so they charged us an extra two nights of 1,200 RMB. But then they said there were no rooms available and they only changed the room for the second night. Why did they charge us two extra nights? This problem does not exist when staying in other hotel chains. This kind of thing happens in small family hotels, and Ctrip should not list such hotels. Comparing the service and price, it is better to book a chain hotel if possible. The facilities are also very average, just a mountain hut, small and damp. As for the location, it is very close to Windermere Railway Station as the crow flies, but this is a deception. In fact, you can't get there. You need enough time to take the ferry, and then you have to transfer to the bus. Transportation is very inconvenient. We came out of the train station and took a taxi around the lake for 30 minutes, which cost 400 RMB.

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.
