“WOW”
“All I can say is Wow. The room was just beyond amazing, so beautiful and romantic! The staff were ever so helpful and friendly, and breakfast was spot on and so what we needed! The hotel itself is situated in the most ideal location within Bowness, right next to the lake, and on the edge of all the shops, restaurants and bars. Best nights sleep I’ve had in ages. Will be returning, thank you!“
