You get what you pay for
Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.

Great room. Just dont get any sleep
Music blaring till 2am, and then road noise started at 5am.
The room is great but you just dont get to enjoy sleeping

So so at best
It is difficult for me to understand how places that don’t allow you into your room until mid afternoon don’t have space to store your luggage. Also there was a very poor water stream from the shower and no internet availability from the top floor.

Loud and noisy above the saloon
It was bound to happen. After years of Hotels.com reviews, I have experienced my worst night and would like a refund. Never should one be in a room above/adjacent to a bar (especially on Saturday night). The noise was beyond uncomfortable even for me, a very heavy sleeper. I may have gotten 3-4 hours of sleep.

Good location to explore Bowness. Easy check in and didn’t really see anyone after that. Rooms need a bit of TLC in my opinion but a good stay for what we paid.

Few staff
Rooms are above pub. Its staff deals with room bookings. If they are serving drinks and busy then you have to wait. Our toilet flush had an issue, we registered it with them but no body came to resolve during our stay.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, dining options in the area were superb and although parking is a little difficult there is a small car park just down the road to park in with extended stay tickets.

Room was ok.Window blind broken so had to stay shut for duration of stay, would be an easy fix. Only one toilet roll for 2 days, and would have to go into bar to ask for another one, just bought some. Tv very small for size of room, not expensive to upgrade these days. White paint dots over bathroom floor, pity somebody wasnt more careful. Bed comfy, glad there was a fan as room very hot, even with windows open. We would come back and stay again. Thankyou
