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.

Great hotel, not very big but very cozy. The boss is from the Northeast, warm and cheerful, the hotel is very close to Windermere Railway Station, especially the breakfast is great!

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.

We had an absolutely perfect stay here, the staff were the nicest I've ever experienced, the rooms beautiful, they allowed us early check in without an extra charge, they ensured a parking space was kept for us after I rang up and to top it all off breakfast was cracking, 100% will be returning. Couldn't fault it if I tried

We have just returned from a lovely stay in the lakes, problem with room on arrival but was sorted straight away. Breakfast was good and lady serving breakfast was lovely made sure you left full. Hotel was closing for 6 weeks to do some renovation and updating which is good overall would stay again.

even though ive rated 4 out of 5 i feel the need to say a few things first being that check in is a little late usually around 2pm its 4pm here the room number 7 was ideal for me on ground level and it was a cosy room downfall was the kettle there was no plug near the complimentary tray so had to boil on the floor near the fridge and also kettle did not fit under the tap so had to fill up with a cup. The coat hanging was a bit difficult they didnt come off the rail. there was a good hair dryer but nowhere to see what you were doing the mirror at the back of the door could have done with a plug near it . all just needs re configuring . the breakfast was good but the fried eggs where always hard so opted for scrambled on last morning. The staff are wellcoming thats a big plus for me and the place is ideal for walking into the town .
