The hotel is a very historical building and you can see the windemere lake beautifully from its terrace. The hotel is nicely located from the historical town and its harbour. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We had a very noisy and drunk group staying above us. The staff went multiple times up to ask them to remain quiet in the late hours and offered us to switch rooms. As it was 1am we initially didn’t (we were tired and in pyjamas) but the next evening the noise started again. The staff immediately provided us with a room on the opposite side of the hotel and we had a lovely room, and no noise complaints anymore whatsoever. The breakfast is well stocked, with a variety of choices. Be aware that the things that look like pancakes are some sort of potato pancake. It could be helpful if local specialties would be marked (for example the sausages and this potato cake) because it was a bit of a surprise haha. However, great breakfast. The hotel is very clean and I enjoyed the bathroom. They are not large but modern, and the water pressure in the shower is pleasant. The beds are incredibly soft, but firm. Besides the noise (that was solved) they are really nice and we slept like a charm. Upon request you can get extra pillows if needed. Bear in mind that the elevator on one side of the hotel is very tiny and if you are in a wheelchair it may not fit you. I am assuming the hotel is accommodating to this because they have a wheel chair elevator to the first floor, so I think if you let them know you have this need you can get around easily in the hotel. Especially as they are so great in accommodating and communicating.

The hotel is an older (historical) building. This means the frame is wooden and the walls and floors are thin. For anyone normal going around (mindful while they walk and talk) this is perfectly fine. You will hear some creaks here and there and some mumbles, but nothing major and easily ignored. However if you are someone that is loud, stomps, wants to get pissing drunk or are a party group, please consider a different place. You will disturb others significantly.

Lovely hotel and decor throughout, stunning location. We had spacious room 117 with a balcony giving breath taking views, all in-room facilities were fabulous too. Everywhere was clean, our huge bed was super comfy, spotless bedding, had a great sleep. All the staff were helpful, friendly and professional - special mention to Lynn (receptionist extraordinaire). We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return.

The food - such a shame as all the other elements of our stay were excellent/perfect. Evening meal - over priced, poor quality ingredients, presentation had no wow factor. I understand offering limited menu choices given many guests might prefer to eat elsewhere but what is offered should be of a far superior quality than it was which would tempt more guests to eat in. Overall, very disappointing. Breakfast - good variety of choices however the cooked items weren't hot, poor quality ingredients and the presentation was average. Unfortunately our food experiences fell extremely short from our expectations. Really looking forward to returning but, sadly, will probably eat elsewhere.

The staff where outstanding, helpful and friendly. The room was fine, comfy bed and plenty of towels and hot water... The main rooms at the front of the hotel have been carefully planned and are new, light and modern. All very clean as was the bedroom. The buffet breakfast was very good. View of the lake from a large outdoor terrace was exceptional. The location is very good and there is plenty of car parking space. To my mind it has the feeling of a hotel that has high demands of its staff which of course is a bonus for all residents. Worth a visit

Nothing really,. There was nothing to cause me any concerns

The hotel was lovely but needs a bit of TLC in places. Great location but some may find it difficult due to hill leading up to it. Pet friendly room was excellent with dog bowl, bed and treat waiting for us. Staff were friendly. Breakfast good. We got a really good deal when the sale was on but wouldn't be able to afford otherwise (should have been £1600+ for the week we stayed).

Not a lot of parking for the size of hotel and it costs £7.50 per night. There was a wedding whilst we were there and it was a struggle to park. Drinks in bar were a touch on the expensive side. When we put our sign out to have the room made up, we got fresh towels and the bed was "made" but refreshments weren't topped up.

Lovely hotel, it has a nice relaxed atmosphere when you walk in. Receptionist was friendly and very helpful. Had room 216, nice view of the lake in the distance. Room quite basic but very clean, bed very comfortable, (had good sleeps), asked for more pillows, they arrived within 10 minutes. Nespresso machine was faulty, leaked everywhere so couldn't use it I'm afraid, very small cups there for that but no large ones for a normal tea or coffee. Toilet flusher needs sorting, I couldn't get it to work but husband did thankfully even though that wasnt the ideal situation, bit embarrassing! Lights above mirror in bathroom didn't work atall so not enough light in there to do hair/makeup etc. We went down for breakfast at 7am(ish), lots of choice on buffet, well cooked full brekky, very nice. Apart from the few things that need sorting, we enjoyed our stay at The Ro very much and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The Ro Hotel is in the perfect location for getting around Bowness. It is a short walk either down to the lake or up to the shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the bar and restaurant are lovely areas to sit in the evening. We had dinner in the restaurant one night, and the food and service were great. The best thing about the Ro is the staff. From check in to check out, we were greeted with friendly, professional people who are obviously very committed to putting customers at ease. Similarly with the bar and restaurant staff, who made us feel welcome and valued.

Needs more car parking spaces, cars were parked all over the place, but that didn't spoil our stay.

Beautiful building in a super location for the shops and eateries. Clean, large room, with iron, hairdryer, extra throw, slippers and room safe. Ours had lake views and was well stocked with tea and coffee. The bed was very comfortable, Super shower room. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Attentive but not overwhelming. All looked happy to be here. We had the special offer 2 course dinner and the food was delicious. Beautifully presented, and plentiful. The dining room is large and not crowded with tables. Plenty of parking at £7.50 per night. Put your reg into the terminal at the reception. Not had breakfast yet, so can't comment, but it smells good! Great value.

Can't complain about anything. Super.

We stayed in room 215, spacious and a lovely view of the town and lake. The room was well equipped, tea & coffee, iron & ironing board, robes & slippers etc. We liked the eco approach, we stayed for 3 nights and was advised we wouldnt have any housekeeping, unless we wanted it of course, by putting the appropriate sign on our door handle.

We really enjoyed the stay, but to give balanced feedback; the room looked fresh and clean, but there was heavy staining all over the cream carpet. Tea cups were too small in the room, not sure why they don't use same they have at the breakfast table? Personal preference, the mattress and pillows were too soft. Whilst the breakfast concept was the same each morning, the quality somewhat varied each day.

Perfect location close to the centre of Bowness, a few minutes down hill to the main street of shops, restaurants etc. Every single member of staff at the hotel was friendly, helpful and truly 5 star - especially the staff in the bar and restaurant. Great breakfast and lovely dinner. The interior of the main hotel is very tasteful, simple yet stylish. Loved the modern style with touches of the traditional slate also some fabulous pieces of art displayed.

The bathroom was so dark, only 1 ceiling spotlight. Dog friendly room on the ground floor so curtains were closed as looked directly into carpark- needs shutters or something to allow light whilst maintaining privacy. Room felt cramped and dark.

We loved the location. A great selection of shops and bars are a 5 minute walk away. It was quiet at night which is a must for us. The staff were friendly; breakfast items were tasty and normal for a continental. The rooms were spacious and had lovely decor. The bathroom was great too.

The parking was tight and you're not guaranteed to get a space, but we managed to park up on the side of the hotel. When we asked the staff, they said, as long as its not terribly in the way... The bed was comfy but the pillows weren't. The filling was uneven and caused me to feel a bit uncomfortable through the night. The layout of breakfast could have been better. The positioning of the hot breakfast was awkward and guests were in each others way. It all felt a little tight.
