8/10 Very good

The Ro hotel was situated close to the centre of Bowness and was clean and obviously fairly recently been repainted. condition was in general good although the carpets looked like they needed replacing. The rooms were comfortable and the food was good. Drinks were a little on the expensive side and I was unhappy having to pay for car parking at the hotel when we were staying there. However we had a good trip and stay.

The hotel was clean and the breakfast was good, the room was average. There wasn't any Menu in the room even though there was a restaurant.

2/10 Poor

Don’t go. Not good at all despite what they say.
Not good at all. The hotel require major improvement work despite it saying it’s had that! Our superior room with lake view was not clean and the shower tray had terrible mould around it. We were offered a change of room. The evening meal was very poor, barely warm and lower than average quality. We were offered a 50% reduction and given an apology. ASKED TO PAY £5 TO PARK YOUR CAR OVERNIGHT IN THE HOTEL CAR PARK & TO HAVE TO SQUEEZE IT UP AGAINST A WALL AS NO AVAILABLE SPACE IS DISGRACEFUL
Shower tray mould found upon arrival.

4/10 Fair

Ventilation and parking
Worst was receiving parking citation after paying for parking at this hotel. Truly terrible way of treating your customers. No ventilation or cooling of any kind in room on first floor. Window opened about an inch. I will admit the views were nice, but it'd be the same everywhere else.

Great location, just a steep walk up and down hill. Hotel needs touch up and needs more staff. The staff was absolutely great, but it was hard to watch them run around due to staff shortage.
