Lovely place to stay. Based right infront of Lake Windermere which was perfect for a morning dip. Lovely clean beds and really good kitchen facilities. I paid for breakfast in the morning which was great to fuel up for the day ahead. The only thing was carparking is limited but there are plenty of pay and display spots nearby. Overall very lovely stay! :)

Amazing location, ideal for exploring lake district. Has many good amenities. However, most of the toilets need fixing, and the cleanless of showers should also improve.
