Help me find a hotel in Windermere in 1989

Hope someone can help me with this: In 1989 I went to the UK with my parents and we visited the Lake District. I remember that I liked it a lot, and I'm trying to pinpoint where exactly we stayed. I'd like to actually put a pin on a map, so the more precise, the better.

I was a kid and don't remember anything useful, so the only good hints I have is from my mum:

In an old photo, I see part of a letter confirming our reservation and the adress of the hotel reads "Knoll Hotel" and "Lake Road". Mum remembers this being in Bowness-on-Windermere. She is less sure and I can't tell it from said letter, but my mum thinks that the hotel was operated my a nice chap named Stephen, last name may (or may not) have been "Toon".

I found this hotel on tripadvisor, the hotel name fits and my very vague memories of the breakfast / dining room do match the photos. But this hotel is on the west side of lake Windermere and quite a bit away of Bowness-on-Windermere. And me remembering the dining room might just be my mind playing tricks...

Does anyone have information? Maybe my mum just remembers this bit wrong (she's almost 80 and my dad passed years ago) and this actually _was_ the hotel?

Thank you for your help!

What ever happened to Heat?

Fantastic Canadian band out of Montreal that had a few albums out in the mid-2010s, including 2017's incredibly underrated 'Overnight' - but they seem to have disappeared unfortunately. Kind of like Dead Boys meets Replacements meets early INXS - check it out if you like the sound of that!
