The hotel is beautifully set with rooms leading to lovely landscaped areas overlooking the lake, but lacking air conditioning made the nights uncomfortably hot. The service was lacking in attentiveness and responsiveness. The location offers stunning views but needs better lighting in the grounds. The dining experience was slow, although the fresh fruit was delightful. Value for money needs improvement.

The hotel sits right on the shores of Ullswater lake, offering stunning scenic views and a beautiful location. The rooms are warm, well-equipped, and come with a lovely garden terrace; however, they tend to feel very warm even with the radiator off. The dining experience, although of good quality, had some minor shortcomings like items running out. The facilities were adequate and catered to our needs.

The rooms were well-equipped, cozy, and featured a nice garden terrace. A thoughtful touch was the provision of fresh water daily in the room. However, they tended to feel warm even after turning off the radiator.

The hotel is situated in a stunning location, with beautiful surroundings and a short stroll to the lake through lovely gardens. The rooms are spacious and clean, with big patio doors leading to the grounds down to the lake, providing a comfortable and cozy stay. The service was friendly and helpful, although slightly stretched at times. The dining experience was average but adequate, missing the opportunity to showcase the local produce available. Despite being a bit expensive, the location overlooking Ullswater and covering 22 acres is a standout. The facilities are decent, catering to most needs adequately.

The hotel is in a convenient location, only a 10-minute drive from Chester zoo, making it ideal for visitors. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there was a mix-up with the initial room allocation, which was quickly resolved after a complaint. The service was friendly and accommodating, though there were instances of staff seeming under-trained. There were some minor issues with dining, such as pastries not being replenished promptly. The hotel's facilities were good overall, providing a nice stay with value for money.
