"Upon checking in, staff welcome you and greet you along with taking your luggage. We arrived early and the staff on the reception rang housekeeping to check if our room was ready. Room was ready within 5 minutes of checking went to our room and it was so spotless and clean. The location isn’t far from bowness boating pier with easy access from local taxi companies and uber. Upon checking out the reception staff held our luggage for the day and due to the weather tried to locate an umbrella for us. 10/10 service would definitely recommend."
