The hotel was very pleasant, the food better than we expected and the dining experience was akin to a restaurant. All pluses. We paid extra for a"scenic view". But that turned out to be a view over the carpark, the main road and the rooftops of part of Windermere. Not my definition of a sceninc view.
The hotel did have free wi-fi available in the bar, and there was a totsl of £50 in house credit for drinks and additional food. So leaving out the scenic view, it was escellent value.
The weather started off really nice, but cold wet wintry weather arrived midweek. We travelled to Kendal, Keswick, Grasmere, Ambleside and the surrounding area.
We managed to get to Mass and Stations of the Cross in the Catholic Church in Windermere, a few minutes drive from the hotel. The church was bitterly cold though.
So, all in all, a very enjoyable few days away. We will be doing so again soon, but this time heading up to the North of Scotland. More later.
We now have our new Pope, Francis. I am trying not to read all the negative stuff out there. Let is leave it with God.
