    We only stated one night, but everything was terrific. The room and bathroom was very, very clean, to the point that we could have been the first ones to stay there. The bed was comfortable and warm, despite the cold and rainy weather outside. The breakfast couldn’t be faulted and I can without reservation give this place 5 stars.

    Great stay at Park Road !!! Very quiet, great location, excellent breakfast with very good range of options (including allergy/gluten free) immaculately clean and well-stocked room serviced beautifully each day. Our host, Hilton, is a very kind considerate person who went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and very thoughtful. He also provided lots of great local eating out and detailed trip advice. Windermere is a great base to explore the beautiful Lakes and wished we had stayed longer at Park Road. 5 Stars from us !!!

    Imagine setting up a stay for your loved one, and you can afford everything. This describes this place very well. Absolutely amazing, with only the very best of everything offered. We stayed in a self-catered safari tent, most comfy beds, perfumed toilet rolls, high quality cutlery, 24*7 supply of firewood for the quality log burner. List goes on and on. I have stayed in 5 stars which cut corners by supplying sub standard material, this felt like every bit of luxury.
