    Really minor - some decoration in the room was needed, specifically on door edges.

    Everything! Great welcome from the team. Facilities are first rate. Mazumi is a great on site restaurant. A complementary ride in the Bentley into Bowness was a nice touch (especially as it was raining). Breakfast was superb.

    Very little.. the spa area can be a little busy but it was a bank holiday weekend so to be expected.

    The hotel was beautiful! All of the staff were so friendly and lovely, a very personalised stay which made it very special. The food in the Asian restaurant was incredible, and the cocktails in the lounge were so good. Have been recommending to everyone to go here.

    There was nothing I wish this property had apart from access to the outdoor seating area, outside of the cocktail bar. This was closed due to unpleasant weather so this was obviously understandable.

    I cannot fault a thing about this property. Every service and every facility was to the highest standard possible. I opted for a double room with a hot tub, and the hot tub immaculate and had been cleaned/sanitised before our stay. The view from the hot tub was also amazing, making the hot tub experience that little more relaxing. To top it off, I requested a birthday package as it was my partners birthday, and they did an amazing job. They had balloons spiralling from the ceiling, some scattered on the floor, 2 big numbered balloons, and rose petals scattered on the bed (brownie points for me!)

    Excellent hotel and spa, we celebrated a 21st and 60th. The service from the staff was exemplary, we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, the spa was brilliant and very clean. The afternoon tea was delicious and the use of the Bentley to bring us to Bowness topped it off! A short stroll back from Bowness made the location perfect! Would definitely recommend

    Not a dislike but we suggested a better range on non-alcoholic drinks in “the pub” and spa bar (I’m pregnant so would have liked a nice alternative drink)

    Fantastic location and a beautiful hotel which was clean and the staff were exceptional. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and the hotel staff looked after us

    My only slight complaint was our room was so hot we slept with the balcony door open all night as we couldn’t cool down however we used the fan that was in our wardrobe.

    Staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. The room was stunning and very clean. The facilities were next to none eg. Spa. The full hotel on a whole was absolutely immaculate.
