Can't beat the location right on the banks of Lake Windermere. The 6 bed female dorm I stayed in was comfy, with views directly overlooking the lake. Was a bit hard to find a free shower in the morning. I didn't have the breakfast but it looked good.

Clean and tidy the kitchen facilities was brilliant for self catering the restaurant food was really nice
The beds could have been a little more comfortable

Great location right by the lake.
We felt the receptionist was quite patronising. Most questions asked were answered in a rather sarcastic way. I asked a simple question. Did we have a room overlooking the lake? Her response was go upstairs to the room, see if it’s a Lakeview come back down and tell me! Who would say that to a new patron arriving at the establishment.
