The property includes an on-site car park with an electric vehicle charging station, though parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests with disabilities can use accessible parking spaces, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, and bathrooms equipped with grab rails and emergency cords.
Rooms
Room types include superior doubles in an annex with patio areas, family rooms sleeping up to four guests, and accessible rooms with wet-room bathrooms. Certain annex rooms provide views across the garden towards Lake Windermere, and all accommodations include tea and coffee supplies. The hotel also offers ground-floor family rooms and club king rooms with extra space.
Location
The hotel sits a 10-minute walk from the shores of Lake Windermere and is within a short drive of Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. Guests can reach water-skiing, sailing, and lake cruises directly from the lakefront. The towns offer shops, pubs, and dining options, with Windermere village roughly 30 minutes on foot.

The hotel serves a breakfast buffet included with nightly rates, offering both hot English options and continental items such as pastries, fruit, and cereals. Afternoon Tea is served in the conservatory or on the terrace overlooking the grounds. The restaurant provides a pub-style dinner menu with dishes like fish and chips, steak pie, and salmon at reasonable prices.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are allowed in all guest rooms and public areas except the swimming pool, and the hotel provides pet bowls and pet baskets upon request. A securely fenced, free-run area behind the annex lets dogs exercise off-lead safely. Staff welcome pets in the dining rooms during breakfast and dinner, and the grounds offer additional walking paths.
