Oakbank at the Angel Inn

We stayed here in late February for 3 nights. We took a junior suite in the Angel Inn’s Oakbank annex. Check in, meals and the bar were all based in the main Angel Inn Hotel, about 100 yards from the annex, which gave us a greater sense of privacy. There was plenty of car parking space across the two sites, but it is rather tight to manoeuvre into. The junior suites are on the second floor of the annex, which itself is a short climb from the hotel. As a result, they’re probably not for the infirm. However, if you can make the climb,the rooms are well worth the effort. Ours had a very large, spacious bedroom with a huge kingsize bed, a well appointed bathroom with bath and separate shower, and a separate sitting room with a second tv and sofa/bed. It had all of the facilities we could want and was toasty warm from our arrival. The view from the windows was fabulous with a bird’s eye view of the town and panoramic view of the lake and mountains. Breakfast was included in our stay and this was excellent, served in the main hotel’s restaurant. We also got vouchers for a few free drinks in the bar. The staff were excellent, very friendly and always helpful. The site is situated about halfway up the main street in Bowness, so it’s very central for all the local restaurants and shops. Highly recommended

The beautiful view on the lake

Staff really pleasant and accommodation was of decent quality (clean and comfy). Shower switched between hot and cold by it’s own volition and if children had been under it they would have been scolded. The food at the Angel was poor. Service was slow and the food arrived dry and thrown together. Both evening meal and breakfast were the same so now a one off. It was a real shame as it has the makings to be a great stopover but just didn’t deliver

We paid £260 for a very small room with no window.. was very dark.. won’t be staying again.

Overall the property was excellent. However the position on hill not so good for some

Such a lovely place in a great location. The staff were fantastic and the breakfast in the hotel was excellent. Try the merlot in the bar. One of the best red wines that I have had. Really good value and deserving of 5 stars

We booked hotel stay under the previous owner and was not advised of transfer of ownership to the Inn Collection. We had paid a deposit and agreed a specific deal which was not honoured by new owners, The Inn Collection group. Breafast was at the Angel Inn down 4/5 flights of stairs across the road and up into the pub. There is no lift, the menu said 1 peice of bacon, 1 egg, 1 hash brown etc and it the menu was correct. Do not expect more, We left a day earlier than paid for. We raised our concerns with the hotel group and besides a standard acknowledgment have heard nothing else. If I could give this hotel a minus score I would. We had not visited the Lake District before and based on this experience we wont be returning
