I stayed in so many hotels in the UK this time, but this was the only one that ******. This is basically a family hotel run by Indians, not a chain hotel, and I was really fooled. We are a family of three with one child. They said the room was too small to accommodate us, so they charged us an extra two nights of 1,200 RMB. But then they said there were no rooms available and they only changed the room for the second night. Why did they charge us two extra nights? This problem does not exist when staying in other hotel chains. This kind of thing happens in small family hotels, and Ctrip should not list such hotels. Comparing the service and price, it is better to book a chain hotel if possible. The facilities are also very average, just a mountain hut, small and damp. As for the location, it is very close to Windermere Railway Station as the crow flies, but this is a deception. In fact, you can't get there. You need enough time to take the ferry, and then you have to transfer to the bus. Transportation is very inconvenient. We came out of the train station and took a taxi around the lake for 30 minutes, which cost 400 RMB.

The service is first-class, but the hotel is in a remote location, which is very inconvenient if you don't drive yourself. The hotel has a bar service, and many nearby guests come to eat and drink

Stayed for two nights. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts and evening meals excellent. Lovely sized room, spotlessly clean. Powerful hot water and shower excellent, bath and paintwork maybe in need of tidying but would not complain due to all the positives of staying here. Looking forward to visiting again.

The staff are really friendly, they made the staff better than planned. Outstanding. The food was excellent, not the cheapest but you get what you pay for, and here you get value for money. Very good sized portions. A good menu that i could happily work my way round. Breakfast was a very good selection of both hot and cold foods. Drinks in plentiful supply, and excellent coffee. Bar stocked with a good choice and prices are good as well. The room was very comfortable with a decent sized TV that worked. The bathroom is of a good size with bath and shower. Off road parking available. would i stay again-hell yes. Definitely! Anyone can pick holes in a venue, my negative points may be pedantic so not bothering to say them

Excellent service, lovely friendly staff. Very comfortable rooms with great beds and nice linen . We had dinner which was very good, a little comment would be the meals are a little bit pricey, but excellent quality. We had breakfast which was great , very tasty and great quality. Would definitely recommend a stay here .

Fantastic location. Clean, quiet rooms and accepts dogs which was nice. The couple who run this hotel were really friendly. Great home cooked food too but you need to book as the place was very popular in the evening. Hill Top is within walking distance.

We had a lovely one night stay at Cuckoo Brow Inn. Very warm welcome and we were well taken care of. The hotel is well decorated with cosy fires and nooks to sit in. Food good, beds very comfortable, nice and quiet at night. There are some lovely walks from the doorstep in beautiful Beatrix Potter countryside.

We had a three night break at the Cuckoo Brow Inn over the Valentin's week end, we found the family running the hotel extremely friendly and very approachable, it was our wedding anniversary on Valentines day and when we arrived back to our hotel after a days walking we found that our room had been decorated with a banner, balloons and a card and chocolates a very personnel touch which was appreciated by us both. Our room (No 4 ) was large and spacious as was the bathroom, our room was cleaned every day with tea/coffee and biscuit's replenished if needed. We ate at the Inn each night and found the food tasty and nicely presented with enough to fill the hungriest of appetite's. Breakfast was table service on weekdays and buffet service at the weekend with plenty of choice. All in all and very enjoyable stay and a place we would not hesitate visiting again.
