fantastic lakeside stay!!!
cosy room modern shower
the room 2 was cosy and big enough. i appreciated the modern shower room with hand, body wash, and shampoo. the bed was very comfy and the pillows were supportive. blackout curtains ensured a dark room, though light came through the sides when the sun rose.
i could hear people laughing, talking during breakfast and chairs being moved. this meant i needed ear plugs to sleep well.
Location

the location is right by the lake, offering fan views. it is also beneficial for kayaking or paddleboarding. the distance to the town is only about a ten minute walk.

staff members are friendly and helpful, providing advice on local walks. joe explained everything clearly on arrival and even sorted out an issue with the room. the breakfast and evening meal in the windermere room were excellent.
