All good apart from being up front about parking charges. This only became apparent after purchasing the voucher. Noisy floorboards in room above which detracted from visit.

Great views from lakeside 2nd floor .. lovely spacious room and bath/shower room .. nice bedding .. comfy bed so great night's sleep .. food in hotel at breakfast and dinner were excellent .. we didn't have lunch as we were out all day. We liked that the rooms weren't cleaned in our short stay. All the towels and robes and toiletries were lovely.

I think it would have been good to offer a daytime slot using the leisure facilities as an option to lunch as we would probably have bought lunch here anyway if it had been less sunny.

The staff were amazing. Only 2 guys running both the restaurant and bar and still delivered great service. Great location and we were lucky enough to get parked at the hotel although they do charge guests to park, however, if the car park is full there is no public car parks near.
Other Comments
Although the room had a fabulous lake view it had stains on the carpet and black mould in the shower.
The food was well cooked but I would describe it as pub food rather than restaurant quality.

Lovely hotel, food was lovely, it would have been perfect if we hadn’t been charged £15 to park our car on their own car park for 2 nights, totally unnecessary annoying charge, it would have been better charging a little more for the room to cover the car parking cost.
And the annoying habit they have of putting a 10% surcharge on every drink you order, it’s bad enough paying £40 for a bottle of Wine without being charged £44 in total for it!
Other Comments
The staff were very pleasant and helpful, it took a while to check out due to the staff not being very efficient on Reception, and having to go to the bar to get our bar bill when they knew we were leaving that morning, it would have saved a lot of time instead of them having to go to the bar for everyone’s bill and leaving the cues in reception.

On the Travelzoo booking we were told there would be menu upgrades if we would like to pay extra, nothing was offered and we received the same menu with the same 4-5 options both evenings with no option to swap.

A great position in Bowness, and a lovely room with views of the Lake.
I feel that it has been recently renovated, very comfortable room and bed, but the restaurant area lacks atmosphere, modern tables (no tablecloths) lighting is too bright and if you want a glass of wine there is no choice, just one white/ red or rose.
We are on a two night stay, the bottle of water has not been replaced from yesterday and when I asked for bread last night, it arrived after I had finished my starter.
Probably need more staff to.

Great location in the centre of Bowness. Refurbished about 4 years ago. Food was excellent. Staff very polite and good customer service from all. We had really good sunshine weather for our two day stay, and sat in the bar watching the sun go down on our last night which was lovely. They are able to slide back the sliding window doors to allow everyone to sit in the warm evening sun.
We stayed on the 18th and 19th March and have been very lucky with the weather.

The Ro Hotel is a Victorian building with contemporary decor. Reception and restaurant/bar staff were all friendly and welcoming, particularly Jonathan. We enjoyed the food. Our room had a lake view and it was nice to just sit and watch the changing scenery. Excellent location. Would stay here again.

The hotel is very conveniently positioned in Bowness village albeit up a steep hill. The food and service were first class and the staff couldn't do enough to please. Our room was nicely decorated with a suptuously comfortable Super king bed and a lovely view of the lake. We will be back!

The room was comfortable and views exceptional. It was snowing and very cold when we arrived. Robes provided in the rooms were welcomed and used. Rooms were warm but the communal area and restaurant were cold in comparison. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. There were plenty of parking spaces, and the charges were very reasonable.
