AI Summary
The breakfast, with homemade shortbread, received praise. Guests appreciated the spacious, well-laid-out rooms, comfortable beds, and excellent sleep quality. The attentive, professional staff enhanced the first-class experience.

The hotel room is very small, unlike domestic hotels, and the price/performance ratio is very poor. The two white female front desk staff are racist. The room seems to be monitored. As long as a third person appears in the room during the day, we will soon be called to ask us to ask the third person to exit. Room!

It's just a better B&B, but to be honest I can't appreciate it.
There is one room in one building, and the restaurant is downstairs.

It's a Relais & Châteaux hotel, but this was the only room available when I made the reservation. I didn't expect it to be so small. If you can afford it, book a larger one. It's comfortable to stay in and there's a Michelin restaurant downstairs.

We were fortunate enough to stay at the Lake House during the amazing May weather. The hotel is in beautiful setting and is lavishly furnished and scrupulously clean. We ate at both Source and at Spice during our stay and both restaurant offerings were outstanding.My wife had a treatment at the spa wich she thought was excellent. In general the service was very good. However our less than 5-star review score is due to the disappointing service in maintaining our room. Used items were not replaced, having to wait for our room to be serviced after having agreed we would be out all morning. We noted the very small staff contingent were all multi tasking and seemed to not communicate well with each other - and this it seems at a time when two of the main rooms were not in use.

Wonderful Hotel in the middle of The Lake District. From initial greeting to departure, the service was friendly and professional. Upgraded room which included a hot tub was beautifully presented. Dining room experience was excellent as was breakfast. The alternative restaurant ( Spice) was atmospheric with a delicious choice of food.

Stayed for two nights midweek recently and what a wonderful stay it was. Courteous and professional staff from check in to check out. Grace in particular was most helpful in attending to all our needs. We dined at Spice the first night and Source on our second night, the food being excellent on both occasions. At Source we chose to have the wine pairings with the meal and I can only commend the sommelier for his personality, professionalism and last but not least the excellent choice of wine pairings for each course. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again in the not too distant future.

What a fabulous experience. We went with another couple to celebrate a big birthday and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We have been lucky enough to have eaten at some outstanding restaurants over the years and both Spice and Source are right up there. Both absolutely incredible. The tasting menu at Source blew us away - what a huge talent Kevin Scanlan the head chef is. Sensational food to rival the absolute best there is but in a very unstuffy lovely atmosphere. Final shout out to the staff - all the absolute best who all seemed genuinely thrilled to be there which is no mean feat. Grace being the ultimate cherry on a really outstanding cake!! We will be back - as soon as possible!!
