Traditional hotel with personal service.
Friendly and helpful staff. Quite expensive for the facilities. A traditional hotel with personal service. Some of the decor needs modernising but some had been recently refurbished. All very clean. Would stay there again. Had evening meal too which was lovely.

A comfortable stay
We stayed in the River Cottage which fit 2 adults and 3 kids comfortably. It is not luxury accommodation and the kitchen was basic but it was warm and very cosy and had all we needed. Would definitely stay again if in the area. The parking was very tight but we managed.

My room was on top floor, but there was no help with luggage (I am 85)
Also WIFI did not reach my top floor room, so i had to go down to lounge to check email, etc

Lovely stay
After the previous hotel cancelled five minutes before we were due to check in. The glen burn came to our rescue the staff were brilliant in finding us a room and extremely pleasant. The room was lovely and nice and clean. Breakfast was nice standard English breakfast. Would recommend accommodation prefect location for exploring the lakes.

Nice hotel close to Windermere
Yet another hotel that the owners have abdicated responsibility to juniors to run. Waited 25 minutes for 1 fried egg half a tomato, a slice of bacon and a couple of button mushrooms. Two previous guests were leaving just as I arrived, so I assume the chef was already in attendance. That left me and my wife alone in the restaurant. And it wasn't very well cooked, either. Had a much fuller cooked breakfast the following day in the town centre. Seven minutes - and lovely, too.
