Exceeded expectations. Much more beautiful than the pictures on the Internet. The breakfast is very rich. Highly recommended! And the location is very good. It is less than five minutes' walk from the train station! It is more cozy than many hotels.

I stayed in this excellent hotel for the third time earlier this week. The check- in process was very straightforward. The hotel is very well located, close to the bus/train station, shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel room was clean and comfortable with adequate storage space. Nicely furnished and decorated. All appliances in the room were in good working order. Breakfast was very good. Full English with toast, coffee and fruit juice. The service was prompt and polite. I stayed for 3 nights and would happily stay there again. Would certainly recommend this hotel.

Lovely stay. Great location. Parked up and didn't move the car for 3 days, excellent bus service. Yes, as in previous reviews, the wardrobe is a little small, but there are plenty of drawers. The kettle doesn't fit under the tap, you have to use a glass to fill it, but it's not a problem. Very friendly staff and the breakfast was excellent. Thank you 😊

Just back from the cottage last night, what a lovely place to stay.Stayed 2 nights as my husband is very poorly & to get away for a cpl of days.Lovely room, food very good.Muriel who looks out for everyone in the morning at breakfast is a breath of fresh air & very knowledgeable about Windermere(Hope you win the Gold for your garden display again this year Muriel) taxi was ordered for us as my husband couldn’t walk up the hill to the station but it didn’t turn up, I rang the owner of the cottage & she was their within 5 minutes to take us to rail station. I for one will definitely return to the cottage, oh & the beds so comfy AND a heated toilet seat into the bargain.
