The staff were amazing. Only 2 guys running both the restaurant and bar and still delivered great service. Great location and we were lucky enough to get parked at the hotel although they do charge guests to park, however, if the car park is full there is no public car parks near.
Other Comments
Although the room had a fabulous lake view it had stains on the carpet and black mould in the shower.
The food was well cooked but I would describe it as pub food rather than restaurant quality.

Lovely hotel, food was lovely, it would have been perfect if we hadn’t been charged £15 to park our car on their own car park for 2 nights, totally unnecessary annoying charge, it would have been better charging a little more for the room to cover the car parking cost.
And the annoying habit they have of putting a 10% surcharge on every drink you order, it’s bad enough paying £40 for a bottle of Wine without being charged £44 in total for it!

The staff were very pleasant and helpful, it took a while to check out due to the staff not being very efficient on Reception, and having to go to the bar to get our bar bill when they knew we were leaving that morning, it would have saved a lot of time instead of them having to go to the bar for everyone’s bill and leaving the cues in reception.

On the Travelzoo booking we were told there would be menu upgrades if we would like to pay extra, nothing was offered and we received the same menu with the same 4-5 options both evenings with no option to swap.

A great position in Bowness, and a lovely room with views of the Lake.
I feel that it has been recently renovated, very comfortable room and bed, but the restaurant area lacks atmosphere, modern tables (no tablecloths) lighting is too bright and if you want a glass of wine there is no choice, just one white/ red or rose.
We are on a two night stay, the bottle of water has not been replaced from yesterday and when I asked for bread last night, it arrived after I had finished my starter.
Probably need more staff to.

Great location in the centre of Bowness. Refurbished about 4 years ago. Food was excellent. Staff very polite and good customer service from all. We had really good sunshine weather for our two day stay, and sat in the bar watching the sun go down on our last night which was lovely. They are able to slide back the sliding window doors to allow everyone to sit in the warm evening sun.
We stayed on the 18th and 19th March and have been very lucky with the weather.

Friendly helpful staff. Lovely receptionist when we arrived and checked out. She had just returned from maternity leave and was so pleasant a real asset. The wine waiter and restaurant staff were excellent. The room was comfortable and clean no problems whatsoever would definitely return.

Friendly staff, lovely location in Lake District but it is a walk up a hill. Our room was brilliant but a little dated. Will return

Evening meal waiter kept forgetting to bring our food out so we had to keep asking for menu / starter/ / main after being shown to a table

We had a lovely time and the staff were excellent particularly in the restaurant and one lovely girl on reception. Food was good, particularly the fish and chips.

The television in the room was in an awkward place and difficult to watch when in bed.
