The Old England has been beautifully

The Old England has been beautifully updated and is in a magnificent position overlooking the lake. Everything was of the highest standard, the staff could not be faulted. Our room in the original building had a lake view and was exceptionally good value through HotelClub. A 5* experience, thank you.

The hotel's location is excellent.

The hotel's location is excellent. SPA is brand new and good quality. Bar area and Lounge are really good. There is a great lake view in the hotel. The room we were in had a great lake view, but the windows were really dirty. Especially the fact that there was a massive bird dirt on the window did not make us very happy. The bath tub had a leak so when we took shower, the whole bothroom got wet in 5 min. Conclusion is that it is a great location and the hotel is probably leveraging it to justify high prices because the room quality does not justify it

The hotel is well situated near

The hotel is well situated near the lake, and has very nice facilities (including a spa). The price is somewhat higher than I would expect. Parking is a problem in this area, but the hotel offers a 5 minutes away parking lot (quite crowded on the day I visited). Bottom line: I enjoyed the hotel, and might return in the future.

湖水地方でのレンタカーの旅行で2泊しました。Oldと名称がつ

湖水地方でのレンタカーの旅行で2泊しました。Oldと名称がつくように、本館はすごく古い歴史を感じる建物ですが、部屋の中はきれいにリニューアルされていました。バスタブ付きの部屋でしたが、湖側の部屋は値段が高くとまることができなかったので、部屋の外の眺めは良くなかったです。もともと価格が高めだと思います。朝食は、コンチネンタルが付いていました。駐車場は無料ですがヴァレーパーキング方式で、係の人が持っていき、また持ってきてくれる方式でした。ウィンダミアボウネスの桟橋のすぐそばの湖畔にあるので、場所は 常に良い場所です。日本の旅行会社の団体客がたくさん宿泊していました。
