Reviews and Ratings
I have to say, my stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were spot on, with showers that are to die for, and had a plentiful supply of tea and coffee. The view of the nearby fields was a nice touch. However, having a double bed and a single air bed on the floor was a bit disappointing. The bed itself was comfy, though.
The hotel offers faded elegance in lovely rooms with a nice view of the countryside. The service is amazing with friendly and helpful staff. The location is convenient for the Lake District but lacks nearby dining options. Dining was great with good-sized portions. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers good value for money with large, cozy rooms at a fantastic price on the edge of the Lake District. The basic rooms feature nice baths, perfect for a winter's evening. The staff is friendly and helpful, although the customer service approach could be more attentive. The location is superb for a quiet getaway near the Lakes, with easy access to various attractions. The dining experience is mixed, with tasty but limited options. Overall, a comfortable and conveniently located hotel with some room for improvement in service and dining.
