What is there to eat and drink there?
Book a table in the hotel's award winning restaurant and treat yourself to a culinary experience that will indulge your senses.
With a pianist tinkling the ivories, we enjoyed the excellent British cuisine- heritage tomatoes for starter, braised lamb shoulder and dauphinoise potato for main and sticky toffee pudding and lemon tart for dessert.
What else is there to do at the hotel?
Windermere is England's largest lake at 10.5 miles long. Take a walk to Bowness and choose one of the three routes from Windermere Lake cruises.
The red cruise is a 75 minute trip to Ambleside with the option to stop and catch a later boat back.
The hotel also encourages active breaks, with their Bring your Bike initiative, inviting cycling enthusiasts to embark on rides across the Lake district, with the new 'Bed for your bike' package, offering riders the ideal resting base before a day in the saddle.
