    This is a quirky pub on the lake. You may need a map to find your room through the corridors and stairways, but it all adds to the charm of the place. The room and bed were comfortable. The food was delicious and beer cold. But the views are what...

    Breakfast was excellent. Room clean, spacious and well appointed. Right by the edge of the lake; couldn't ask for more.

    The view from our room was the best part waking up to see the mist rising off lake Windermere,though that was only one morning, the other 3 waves on the lake. The hotel an old building but a quirky atmosphere about it.
