Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often praise the Angel Inn's ideal location in the centre of Bowness, making it easy to explore the area. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some offering great lake views. The food, especially breakfast featuring locally sourced bacon and sausage, tends to be a highlight, though a few guests have noted that rooms in the annex across the road might not match the quality of those in the main building. The option to decline room cleaning in exchange for free drinks is also a popular perk.

clean innexcellent locationfriendly staffseveral bugs
The Inn was spotlessly clean, a true haven. the location is excellent allowing easy access to everything. the staff was friendly and professional. I felt so welcomed.
I did notice a few bugs in the room. There were spiders, probably because the windows were left open on arrival. a closer inspection before check-in would be good!

the room assigned was not up to par , specifically concerning temperature regulation. the radiator was stuck on maximum heat , yet the window could not be opened. this led to a very uncomfortable night , because there was no air conditioning.

The location was good, nice for convenient access to the surrounding areas.
The room was quite disappointing. I found black mold in the shower and chipped paint on the walls. The bathroom soap holders were rusted and left stains on the bath. The room definitely needs updating.
