    The room was ok but the bathroom let it down, it really needed a good clean, the shower was mouldy, it needed a deep clean 🤨

    It was a good location for us, as we had planned a couple of walks near Elterwater, the room was ok, we went out for dinner at Tilly’s which was minutes away. The staff were very nice and helpful: the breakfast was very good.

    Breakfast could have been a little warmer, but that's just a little niggle!

    The size of the double bed, it's huge! And so comfortable as well! And I had the suet pudding for my meal, it was really good - and me and my wife agreed that the sticky toffee pudding is the best we ever had!

    The ceiling lights in our rooms could have been brighter.

    The staff were very friendly, helpful and always smiling. The names of the staff that I could remember are Michelle and Sid. The ladies that served us breakfast on Sunday (24th August), Monday (25th Aug) and Tuesday (26th Aug) were very polite and accommodating to our requests. The rooms were clean and the bathroom in our Premium Double room was spacious !!

    Our room was a small double with a small ensuite. Ok but borderline cramped. It was clean and bathroom was ok but ventilation was limited to main window in bedroom. The ensuite had normal ventilation fan but window was fixed.

    It's location was a plus due to its close position to main street. It's drawback was traffic noise due to needing window open for cooling of room #1. Staff service, diner and breakfast were very good. Bed was very comfy.

    The light was very dim. An option to brighten up would be more suitable for some.

    The Lamplighter is at a walking distance from the train station, well connected with bus services to various locations of the lake district. We were well-received, the staff were keen to help. They were attentive. The rooms were clean. The breakfast each morning was sumptuous and prompt. We had dinner once and that was amazing, even though the service took longer. It was well worth the wait.

    The bar could have been open a bit later.

    The staff were very friendly and welcoming and welcomed our dog too. The location was fabulous. It was just a stones throw from the railway station and all the bars and restaurants were easily walkable. It was only a 20 - 25 min walk into Bowness to Lake Windemere. The breakfast at the hotel was fantastic, with plenty of choice. We will definitely be back.

    Restaurant seriously lacks atmosphere. Felt a bit like waiting for God. Bedroom doors slam.

    The hotel is well-kept, clean and in a great location. 2 minutes from the station. Staff were good. Alex was particularly welcoming when I checked in. Food in the restaurant is outstanding.
