Everything was very clean, nonetheless we stayed for 1 night only. We loved the standard queen room which was air-conditioned. Central location was a plus. It took only 5 minutes to walk to St Martins Church bus stop.

Everything was simply really good. The stay here was really nice, liked the hotel, it was spotless with best possible location next to Lake Windermere and the centre and the lake side. Our room had a large bed and a great view. The bathroom was large, included a shower, a drier and terrycloth bathrobes.
