Decent Stay, Some Road Noise

helpful staffclean roomlake viewroad noisefull parkingwarm room
The staff was friendly and helpful! The room was really clean and well equipped. I could see the lake from my room, so the location worked out great. I thought the price was reasonable.
My room was next to a very busy road, it got noisy! I was not able to open my window to cool the room. It was a warm night. The parking lot was often full, hard to find a spot after dinner.

a perfect stay close to windermere

clean roomuseful microwavecomfortable bedextended access
I found our double room quite clean with good facilities! the bed was large and comfortable. It was like a small cloud. the microwave and mini fridge were a welcome sight. They proved to be useful for storing snacks. the staff extended our room access a little longer, i was happy about this.
our room faced a busy road, so there was some noise and, we couldn't keep the window open on warmer days.
