How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.

“great stay, but probably won't go back”

Breakfast was good, but resident parking fees were too high.

“Best Bowness lakeside views”

The location was great, but parking was pricey.

John3 weeks ago

Parking costs £25 a day for a derelict back‑street spot, which is ridiculous.

Sarah3 weeks ago

“Lovely overnight in a very comfortable hotel and excellent location”

The lake view was amazing, the rooms were spotless, staff were friendly, and parking was nearby, though the £25 parking fee seemed steep.

Michelle3 weeks ago

“Really enjoyed it. Would go back.”

The hotel felt quirky and relaxing, and the staff were wonderful; the area could use a bit more investment.
