3 night stay

Beautiful location, views are stunning on the outside terrace, rooms are lovely whilst small has all you need although would suggest a mirror on the dressing table. Breakfast was lovely, drinks very reasonably priced with a good selection and lovely welcoming staff.

Receptionist chap. Was v patient. We swapped rooms 2 times and settled on the 3rd. Wish was fantastic. Bar staff were great too. We didn’t eat in the restaurant in the evening but breakfasts were great

Updated grand old hotel

The Ro is an old hotel that has been updated so there is some cool boutique decor but also some musty corridors. We paid for an upgraded room which was a good size, nice decor, bright with a great lake view. Bathroom was a bit small and in need of a little TLC.
Nicholas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stay here each year for the Great North Swim. One of the best in the area. Staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you. The hill up to the hotel is a killer if your fitness levels are not great and parking can be a small issue if it’s really busy. No Hash Browns at breakfast is unforgivable but that is the only slight on an otherwise good stay
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, very clean, friendly staff. Room was a bit dark due to full blinds and once open neighbouring properties could see in. Also they didn’t provide much in terms of keeping the light out when trying to sleep. Everything else great

Stacey, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

A fabulous terrace overlooking Lake Windermere. Staff friendly and very accommodating. Room very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately dining experience was poor, slow and unedable food as the salt was eye watering!! Waiter and manager were very apologetic and gave excellent hospitality. Disappointing as if they had a different kitchen team we would have given it 5 stars.

Great hotel and staff. Shame the hotel bar closed early.
Jason, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room pleasant, comfortable and quiet. Whole place seems to have been recently refurbished. Shame though that the badly stained carpet in the main corridor hasn’t been replace as this gives a very poor first impression. Overall would definately stay again.

8/10 Very good

Nice comfortable stay. Breakfast was average no complaints. Room was comfortable and location was great. Although good for us a disability would make this difficult as the hotel is at the top of a steep hill. But overall it was really nice for us.
Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay, super friendly staff and the service was great. The room was huge and had lovely views over the lake. Would definitely stay again
Stephanie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Below standard room for the price

Our room was very small, dark, cramped and located a the back of the hotel down a tiny staircase. View was rubbish and felt like it was a converted corridor. There was a smell like drains/damp. Just glad we spent minimal time in the room due to being at a wedding offsite. If we would have had more time in the hotel, I would have been even more disappointed.
