    Me and my partner came for our 3 year anniversary and it was gorgeous welcomed with a complimentary upgrade for our room and glasses of prosecco showed around the hotel befor being showed to our room. Room was gorgeous with a private hot tub, spa was fabulous definitely worth the money, massage was outstanding had a couple massage and listened to our needs and requests definitely 10/10 will definitely be going back again.

    Didn’t like having to pay for parking while staying which was 24 pounds extra for 2 nights

    Breakfast was good . Staff very helpful. The Asian restaurant was lovely . But slightly overpriced. At 93 pounds for 2

    Nothing!

    Prosecco was given on arrival and a tour from the concierge. We were given a free upgrade to a suite for our honeymoon, everything was in the property you didn’t have to leave but if you did Bowness was on the doorstep.

    Old windows were running with condentation and the shower door kept swinging open when wet,hence wet floor. To few places to put toiletries.Not quite 5 star. Dont book through Booking.com.you will be charged for parking, book with the hotel direct.

    The room was an excalent location but a little cool for time of year ,breakfast,very good.

    A lot of the hot breakfast options were quite cold. Also, the music at breakfast was really loud and just didn't provide a relaxing start to the day. The seal on the shower screen didn't work so water leaked all over the floor. The bathroom could have done with a deep clean. Looked like it just got a cursory wipe over . Nice place and good stay but it's not cheap, so standards should be higher.

    The spa was disappointing as a place to relax and read as the lighting was very low.

    If I were real picky I would say the hot tubs were more on the cooler side, saying that it was still nice.

    Staff were very friendly, we got a complimentary room upgrade. Nice little pub, spa was very nice, steam room was lovely! Mizumi Restraunt was lovely

    Fantastic location and views from hotel terrace, very clean and staff very helpful. Decor lovely, although bit blingy in parts. Had an upgrade to a hot tub room as spa was out of action but knew this before we went. Would return.

    The service in the fusion restaurant was extremely slow and staff were not helpful. Also extremely small portions despite being very expensive. Food tasted nice though. The spa was lovely but a small group of loud (shouting) and drunk guests were allowed to spoil it despite my asking staff in that area if it could be addressed. I was told they would do something if they hear them swearing, buyt they already had been swearing & that didnt address the noise issue

    Venue was excellent, hotel was stunning, breakfast was amazing with extensive choices available. Hotel reception staff, bar staff and car park attendant extremely helpful and friendly. Lovely bedroom.

    We were informed that certain facilities would be unavailable the day after therefore I wanted an early check in and later check out which I was told I was allowed therefore came early. I arrived had to wait for normal check in. My issue is I had paid lots of money and didn’t get a full 24hrs of the room. However the lady on reception gave us an hour later check out and was as helpful as she could be! Also pillows could have been better

    The facilities were great and so much to do within just the hotel it’s self such as the restaurant the pub and the spa facilities. Our hot tub in the room was amazing and just made it so special
