The bedroom was a good size, it was myself, my husband and my 3 year old so we needed a family room. There were 2 double beds which fitted us perfectly - my 3yr old loved the big bed! Bathroom clean, bedroom clean, comfy beds, enough pillows, fluffy towels, staff perfectly pleasant, got a 10% off food and drinks voucher for their bar next door which was nice! Not a massive menu or drinks option at the Orrest Head Bar, but nice enough. I'd not realised the hotel restaurant was open or I'd have tried in there instead! Tea and coffee in the bedroom. Good spot for Windermere and we got a parking space at 6 for the night.
No major issues, we were in what I presume is a slightly newer extension part from the rest of the hotel, as it was a bit of a rabbit warren to get to our room but it was well signposted. I think the floors/walls are a bit thinner as I could hear people walking above, could hear people in the corridor (but that was their fault not particularly the hotels) but nothing that kept me awake. We had to put the TV plug into a different socket as it wasn't working but that wasn't a huge inconvenience. I would just suggest perhaps biscuits/hot chocolate option in the room? But I know for hospitality everything is so expensive nowadays!

Rooms clean & beds comfortable Able to take dogs with us
We had dinner bed & breakfast but kitchen closed very early at 7.30 pm & dinner was very rushed, had to order all three courses at once & then had them fired at us in quick succession. Not very relaxing, we went to celebrate a family occasion so it was very disappointing. Not very happy at having to pay 24 to park at the hotel after paying a considerable amount for our stay

The room we stopped in had a lake view as stated and was clean and tidy, however the breakfast was not acceptable for the price paid. The first morning we went down for our breakfast and where disappointed. There where no choice of eggs only scrambled egg that looked unappealing and undercooked, cheap tasting sausages and bacon, the hash browns where soggy. I had some toast along side this and while I was still eating the waiter tried to remove my plate and took my partners which I thought was very rude. We left and found a lovely coffee shop to eat in and didnt bother to even go for breakfast on the second morning

It was like sleeping in a sauna. The rooms were very dated. The breakfast was cold. Shouldnt have to pay for parking when paying so much for a hotel.
