Breakfast had many choices — much appreciated. Also, the location is great—central to much of Windermere. I also appreciated the free beverage in exchange for not changing our linens every day.

Being on the Dales Way and right in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere - means this pub is close to the lake, shops and an array of restaurants (not that you need to go out as the pub serves great food). The breakfast was exceptional and Angie the owner was an amazing host.

Food amd service was excellent, hotel was spotlessly clean. Even though our room was at the front of the hotel there was very little passing noise. Most of the noise was from the family above but was not a bother.
