    The customer service was superb as soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with glasses of prosecco and got a free upgrade for my boyfriends birthday which was brilliant! The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. You are provided with Elemis products which are luxury, as well as a robe, slippers and towels. The spa was fantastic and very romantic. Overall, we had the most romantic time and we were gutted when we had to leave. Definitely planning on coming back in the Summer.

    Everything was superb. The building has old world charm but is kept in top condition - no faded grandeur here. The room was exceptionally comfortable and well-appointed. The food was excellent; we have eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants that were nowhere as good as this. Finally, the staff were fantastic, so friendly, but also discreet and quietly efficient, they made our stay.

    Everything. The hotel is very well presented and grand. The grounds are lovely and peaceful. The Spa facilities were tranquil and relaxing. The staff made the difference. So welcoming, friendly and helpful. We stayed at the Penthouse Suite and it was beautifully presented. The room was immaculate clean including the hotel. The views from the room across Lake Windermere was amazing. Food, Breakfast and Drinks where definitely enjoyable. 5 Stars from us Thank you.
